'Bro' movie review: A fantasy drama on time that makes two hours feel like forever

Ten minutes into the film, Markandeya alias Mark (Sai Dharam Tej) dies in a car accident that he is seemingly responsible for. A shot of a white car tumbling across a highway cuts to darkness. We slowly see Mark emerge, unharmed, crying out for help. We then see the silhouette of a man, the superstar himself. Mark yells, “Who are you? Where am I? Show me your face.” No response. Then we get the cue. “Power ledha.” The lights shine on, revealing the power star himself, dressed in his famous Vayyari Bhama garb, dancing to the song. Then we see something downright farcical. The man is dancing, well, swaying lightly, as we see him morph into double, triple and multiple identical translucent figures, moving along to the acoustic hook from Vayyari… All the build-up and tease, followed by that one meta line acting as an OTP for the hero to emerge. Phata poster, nikla hero. Phir kya? It is all downhill from here, my friends, as the rest of the film goes on to replicate the heartbreaking mediocrity the Ameerpet edit of VFX Pawan Kalyans displayed.

For the most part, Bro is Mark’s story. He gets the Arjun Reddy style unlikeable-but-successful character arc. He finishes an entire workout but leaves his breakfast halfway. He will pay for his sisters’ education but never pays attention to them. He is also extremely fastidious with his time. He fires people on a whim because they have dared to waste his time. He sees his girlfriend Ramya (Ketika Sharma) as an appointment to be squeezed in between work and more work. Mark’s loved ones are the opportunity cost he voluntarily incurs for a coveted promotion in his company. Bro, in that way, is quite the apt title here, considering the whole ‘time is money, money is success’ mantra that drives Mark is also the beloved gospel of our podcast ‘bros’.

Samuthirakani and his writer-collaborator Trivikram are more inclined to present Mark in a grudgingly positive light, but more on that later. Pawan Kalyan is time, here. If Anne Hathaway suggested that time can be a physical dimension people can climb up and down like a hill in Interstellar — Samuthirakani wants us to know that time can also be reimagined as this demigod superstar we have all grown up loving.

But who really is this personification of time? This is where the movie entropies rapidly. Trivikram steps in to deliver some philosophical one-liners, which quickly turn into unsubtle digs against a certain Chief Minister. We also have Thaman’s rousing Sanskritised background score trying its best to defibrillate this otherwise comatose film. When we combine Thaman’s contributions with the fact that Bro is alternatively titled Bro The Avatar — we might just be talking about Kaala Bhairava, the Shaivite manifestation of time, reality and retribution. But this is a wasted conclusion since we see Pawan Kalyan’s character borrow his character traits from his own film-mythos-graph. In OMG (Pawan Kalyan features in this film’s Telugu remake), Akshay Kumar’s Sri Krishna apes the character traits of the latter. So we see this actor play the flute, carry a peacock feather keychain and inhale blocks of butter from Paresh Rawal’s fridge. But here, Pawan Kalyan’s Time mowa bro is a highlights reel of the actor in his prime. He prefers chai from a cutting glass (like his character from Thammudu), sings Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule in a car and dances to Jalsa Jalsa in a pub. Costume designer Neeta Lulla chimes into the film’s overall meta-ness, her costumes are an ode to the actor’s clutter-breaking, forever cool fits from the 2000s.

At this point, a senior star paying meta lip service to his older, more iconic roles is not new. Lokesh Kanagaraj did it with Kamal Haasan in Vikram. Closer home, Bobby Kolli pulled it off with clap backs to vintage Chiranjeevi in Waltair Veerayya. But the trick misfires with Bro, especially considering Kushi, Jalsa and Tholi Prema had some wide and successful re-releases at a time as recent as last year. Speaking of which, how did a song from Bheemla Nayak feature in this vintage mix? I get that time is relative and stories are subjective, but the only way ‘one year back’ would count as vintage is if human beings had a lifespan of three years. The shtick feels a lot more tired when you realise that Pawan Kalyan is running his own experiments with time, using his past career to propel his future one — cinema be damned.

The rest of the film does little to help its own case. Bro is a remake of a Tamil feature that was once originally a play, but that never meant actors should continue to stay in a single place, swapping the stage for endless green screenshots. Sai Dharam Tej is equally immobile in his acting, as he pantomimes in tandem with Pawan Kalyan’s sluggish and disinterested demeanour.

Surprisingly, Mark’s family left a greater impression on me than Tej and Pawan Kalyan. There is a sister who knows she is unfairly resented, but still respects her brother. The other sister and brother hide their own relationships, despite Mark being open with his. The film’s only redeeming grace is the way it treats patriarchy. Now when I say patriarchy, I don’t mean it in the way that word has earned its demonic status today. I mean it quite literally. Mark is the oldest child of his family, its sole breadwinner and patriarch after their father’s demise. When he rises to lecture the women in his household, the girls see their father. The mother sees her own father. Mark is riddled with anxiety, about getting his siblings ‘settled’. Turns out, his family needs no help from him. In one of the film’s only aha! moments, we see the ‘nobody needing Mark’ angle take a deterministic turn.

And when Mark realises that it is he who needs his family more than the other way round, he begins to redeem himself. The film though, not so much. This is an interesting time for Pawan Kalyan fans, to watch him transition from a place that made him the power star to a place that could give him actual power. We have seen him build a meta-narrative beneficial for politics in both Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak. But Bro is a slippery beast. Star power means showing greatness, something mortals cannot achieve. But we have Pawan Kalyan in a film that has come down to our level, instead of us wishing to reach theirs, with all the Jaya Surya and Mavayya meme clapbacks.

It is not easy at all to watch this ‘torchbearer’ feature in a rather torturous film. It feels much more insulting when the star is content with scheduling this piecemeal effort film between politics the way Mark scheduled his time between work for Ramya. We have had 25 glorious years with Pawan Kalyan. Maybe, our time is over.

BRO is Pawan Kalyan’s latest film, where he plays a key role. Sai Dharam Tej is the main hero and the film has been directed by Samuthirakani, who has directed the original. The film has released today, and read our review to find out if the film is worth that hype or not.

Story: Mark(Sai Dharam Tej) is a family man who has the responsibility of getting his siblings settled. But he passes away in a tragic car accident. He then goes to the heavens and meets Time God played by Pawan Kalyan. Upset that he could not do anything for his family, Mark asks for one more chance to set things right. The Time God, not only gives him a chance but also comes along with him back in life. How Mark uses this opportunity to set things right is the story.

Performances: Sai Dharam has the major role but he does not do well with his performance. He had a very good role to showcase his emotions but Tej looks clueless in the film and gives the same funny expression for all the major scenes.

But it is Pawan Kalyan who steals the show with his histrionics. Be it his dialogue delivery or fun mannerisms, Pawan kills it and his fans will love his solid avatar. Rohini was good in her role and Ketika Sharma was impressive. The rest of the cast was just okay.

Technicalities: Thaman has given a very disappointing score for the film. Not one song impresses us. But his BGM was decent and lifted the film in key areas. The manner in which the film is edited looks good but in that a key emotional angle also goes missing. The screenplay by Samuthirakani is decent only in the second half. The camerawork and production values are decent.

Analysis: BRO is the official remake of the Tamil film, Vinodhaya Sitham. Trivikram Srinivas has given the dialogue and has added his touch to the film. While the adaptation is good, the execution is not that great. The key emotions in the film go for a toss. There are many scenes which could have been elevated well but that does not happen at all. One gets an empty feeling seeing all the family scenes. They look forced in many areas and the second half is rushed.

When compared to the second, the first half of the film is good. There are enough fan moments that the fans will enjoy and this part has been neatly pulled off. A lot is going through Sai Dharam Tej’s mind and he needs to show the pain which he got as a second chance in life. But as the film is rushed, the pain is not conveyed properly.

There are many ways to showcase realization scenes but the director Samuthirkani did not elevate this aspect. As Sai Tej holds the key, his performance would have lifted the film well. But in the end, he disappoints and hams in the film. But one should give credit to director Smauthirakani as he has showcased Pawan Kalyan superbly and that will be loved by the fans.

Verdict: Overall, BRO is for ardent Pawan Kalyan fans. The star hero does not disappoint the fans and he is a show stealer. But the rest of the emotions and execution in BRO is half-baked and ends as a rushed affair.

Rating: 2.5/5

‘Bro’ movie review: Entertains and make you think

“BRO” is the latest film that stars Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej in the lead roles. This movie is a remake of the Tamil film “Vinodhaya Sitham,” which was also directed by Samuthirakani. The promotional content released already created the required buzz among the audience. Let’s see how it fares at box-office.

Markandeyulu, Mark ( Sai Dharam Tej ), is a person who values his time and works hard to provide everything for his family members. He takes care of everyone and is the head of the family. He doesn’t have time for anything. One day, Mark finds himself in a near to death situation when he meets Time ( Pawan Kalyan ). Mark, in his journey with Time, learns valuable lessons about his life and family. The main story tells us about the importance of time and life.

“Bro” is a remake of the Tamil film "Vinodaya Sitham," which was also directed by Samuthirakani . Simply put, it's the tale of a man who, after dying, is given the opportunity to make amends for his mistakes. The storyline is extremely familiar.

There are two major changes in the Telugu adaptation. In the Tamil version, the protagonist is a middle-aged man with a wife and two daughters. Here, the protagonist is a young man played by Sai Dharam Tej. Another difference is the casting of a major star like Pawan Kalyan in the part of time. In the Tamil version, Samuthirakani played the role of time.

The movie, “BRO” is overall a journey between both the lead roles played by Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej. Their chemistry was apt for the film, and in almost 90% of the film, they are seen together. Also, the makers have scattered a lot of Pawan Kalyan’s hit songs throughout the film, which gives a nostalgic feeling to the audience.

The first half of the film is entertaining, with a lot of comic relief and action. As the film proceeds to the second half, it becomes heavy and engaging, with the characters in the film delivering the main point of the film. The movie and actors have thoroughly made the audience feel every emotion with their performances.

On a whole, Pawan Kalyan’s performance, energy, and on-screen attitude are what made the film, “BRO,” entertaining. The movie starts off with an entertaining plot, and as the second half picks up, there is a strong message about modern living. This will surely be a very enjoyable movie to watch for everyone.

Performances

Pawan Kalyan is playing the role of God of Time, which is one of the most versatile roles he has played so far in his films. He has played the role of Lord Krishna in “Gopala Gopala.” Pawan Kalyan looks stunning and stylish in the role of God in the film, “BRO.” Being in such a role, he has aced every emotion and expressed a precious lesson until the movie ends. Powerstar Pawan Kalyan dancing for “Jalsa,” “Thammudu” and “Bheemla Nayak” songs are a real treat for mega fans. He is no doubt one of the major characters who stands out in the film.

Sai Dharam Tej, as Markandeyulu, has delivered an exceptional performance in the film. He has maintained all the emotions in the role with intensity.

Ketika Sharma fits very aptly into the role of Mark’s girlfriend and performs at her best. The chemistry between the lead roles seems to be in place for this fantasy drama film. Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, and Tanikella Bharani have fewer scenes in this film, which are very entertaining. The extended cast of the film, including Priya Varrier, Rohini, Ali Reza, and a few other actors, had good roles in the film, and they did justice with their performances.

Technicalities

Samuthirakani is the writer and director of the film “BRO.” His vision and execution of the film are way too good. He has modified the original story from his film and made this movie. He has ensured that the movie presents all sorts of emotions and drama. The background score composed by S Thaman keeps the screenplay interesting and energetic. The songs from this movie were already released and the audience has been loving them ever since they were out on social media. The picturisation of the songs has been perfect in the film.

The screenplay and dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas have clearly made an intense impact on the audience who witnessed the movie on the big screens. The production values and the VFX work in the film are exceptionally good.

Original vs Remake: Why Pawan Kalyan, Sai Dharam Tej's Bro can work despite being adapted by Vinodhaya Sitham

Bro starring Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej is the Telugu remake of well acclaimed Tamil film but promises to work big time. Check out inside...

The remake culture is not dying anytime soon. Over the years, films being remade in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and other languages after an original film becomes successful is quite a common practice. But it is to be noted that earlier audiences didn't have such a wider reach to technology and there was nothing like OTT platforms. But now things have changed. The audience can watch any movie anytime without any language barrier. In this culture, if a remake will work or not is quite a big question. And this week, Vinodhaya Sitham, a Tamil film, which became a hit in Kollywood, is being remade in Telugu.

Bro vs Vinodhaya Sitham

Titled Bro, the Telugu remake stars Pawan Kalya n and Sai Dharam Tej in the lead roles. Written and directed by Samuthirakani, Bro is a highly anticipated and awaited film in Telugu. The director, who also helmed the original film Vinodhaya Sitham, mentioned that Bro is not a remake but an adaptation. The director said the Telugu version has been customized to suit the industry. And, it looks like, he has done it right.

An insight into Bro with trailer breakdown

Personally, for the very rare scenario, I liked the trailer of Bro. And, it gained a massive response from the audience too. The biggest factor of Bro is the chemistry of Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Te j. The story revolves around an arrogant man who is given a second chance in life to amend his mistakes after death. Power Star portrays the character essayed by Samuthirakani in the Tamil film, playing the role of a god. Sai Dharam Tej takes on another crucial role named Thambi Ramaiah, whose life undergoes a significant transformation after his death and resurrection.

Sai Dharam Tej plays the role of a young corporate, who is always worried about having no time. But things change when he meets with an accident and eventually meets God, who comes in the form of time, played by Pawan Kalyan.

What works big time in the Telugu remake Bro

Pawan Kalyan's screen presence is a total show-stealer. He appeared in many avatars in the trailer including a security guard, coolie, a mature middle-aged man, and an enthusiastic party freak. And it promises to be a visual feast for Powerstar fans as there might be plenty of hat tips to popular moments from his filmography. In fact, the trailer ends with Pawan recreating his iconic pose from Jalsa (2008) and it is likely to bring the roof down in the theatres.

It’s been quite a time since filmmakers have explored this side of Pawan Kalyan as fans have been waiting eagerly. Trivikram's dialogues have added a good amount of touch to the film.

Brahmanandam is back peeps. Who would want to miss him? He appeared in a trailer in the role of a priest. And just in his 30 seconds, he brought a smile on his face to the audience and we personally cannot wait to watch him on the screen.

Music of Bro is a hit-and-miss as well

Compared to the original, what wouldn't work in a remake is a hard thing to say just by watching the trailer. But for sure like every film, Bro has its own set of negatives.

The music of Bro is the biggest pro and con too. The background, composed by S Thaman, has literally given goosebumps to the audience and the depth and Sanskrit lyrics are way too good. While the songs like My Dear Markendaya and Killi Killi became an instant hit, the song Jaanavule disappointed audiences. The music and dance moves were trolled by netizens on social media.

About Bro and Vinodhaya Sitham

Ketika Sharma and Priya Prakash Varrier are the female leads of the film along with Rohini, Brahmanandam, and Subbaraju in the supporting roles. The film is produced by TG Vishwa Prasad of People Media Factory in collaboration with Zee Studios.

Another reason why Bro could work is Vinodhaya Sitham skipped theatrical release and opted for direct OTT release. So there must be very few Telugu people who watched the remake on OTT, which is a plus point.

Directed by Samuthirakani and produced by Abirami Media Works, Vinodhaya Sitham was released on October 13, 2021 on ZEE5 and received critical acclaim.

Bro Movie Review: A Concoction Confused Between Serving Pawan Kalyan’s Stardom & Telling A Story

More than a film about a potent subject, bro is now a fan service.

Star Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Sai Dharam Tej, Priya Prakash Varrier, Samuthirakani, and ensemble.

Director: Samuthirakani

What’s Good: Pawan Kalyan’s swagger that translates so well on screen and how it compliments his character, is fun to watch.

What’s Bad: it is mostly a rehash and not something that you haven’t seen already.

Loo Break: there are numerous half-baked lazy songs; that’s your cue.

Watch or Not?: If you are a Pawan Kalyan fan, nothing can stop you. It’s a fan service and not even one that is shaped nicely.

Language: Telugu (with subtitles at selected theatres).

Available On: In Theatres Near You

Runtime: 134 Minutes

An arrogant man-child Markandeya (Sai Tej), dies in a road accident. God of time gives him a limited second chance at life, and now he has to fulfill his responsibilities before his time ends.

Bro Movie Review: Script Analysis

How much control do we have over our life? Is a question that cinema has been exploring for a while. The concept where a man stands on the boundary between the real world and the afterlife is something that has been fascinating people for at least a couple of decades now. India mostly has seen it in more commercial movies like God Tussi Great Ho and Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!, The former was a remake of the Hollywood movie Bruce Almighty. Years later when Samuthirakani brought back the plot in his Tamil movie Vinodhaya Sitham, the reception was, as expected mixed.

Now with Bro, he remakes his Tamil story into Telugu and brings in a top star to drive his point home. With Trivikram Srinivas writing the Telugu version, they end up diluting their subject even more because now the responsibility to do a fan service arose the moment they cast Pawan Kalyan . The core of Bro is in the question about existence how one’s presence affects the world around him. It is a substantial question and one that can be explored pretty well. But the writer and the filmmaker here choose to rather focus on the casting coupe they have managed to pull off.

So now, more than a film about a potent subject, Bro is now a fan service that is filled with innumerable ‘King-like’ walking and sitting shots of Pawan Kalyan, and infinite references to his songs, movies, his political ideologies, and much more. This affects the movie in a massive way because he was introduced as the God Of Time with so much panache, but you have now associated him with Kalyan’s real self and the line has blurred. Post the first three references; he is now Pawan Kalyan and not the character you want me to see.

Add to this the urge to break into random weirdly composed and picturised songs every 10 minutes. Pawan Kalyan snapping is used as a device that controls the world, because he is Time, remember? But barring the 6-7 genuine snaps, he starts snapping randomly to break into dance numbers and one even brings in Urvashi Rautela , we deserved Thanos; he wasn’t wrong! The decoration that the makers lace Bro with kills its very essence and doesn’t let its subject breathe at all.

The last few scenes by the climax, where you meet the man in his most vulnerable moments, are good, but it is too late by then.

Bro Movie Review: Star Performance

Sai Dharam Tej is comfortable when it comes to being comical and kicking some goons, but the moment he has be emotional is when his ship begins to sink. He is a man-child who can sulk at anything and is also a control freak. Too rich for an AGM of a company. The character is written in broad strokes and with no realism to him.

Pawan Kalyan walks in with his swagger and owns it. But as said, he never becomes the character but remains his real self throughout. Priya Varrier gets nothing more than being a sister in love with a boy without her elder brother knowing and an emotional scene that concludes things.

Rest everyone is a one-tone part with not much as redemption.

Bro Movie Review: Direction, Music

Samuthirakani’s direction is haywire and completely all over the place. One can see his struggle to tell a story and also cater to the fans of Pawan Kalyan. This ends up creating a weird mix that doesn’t do either. His idea of introducing an entire platter of songs that have no connection to the movie and its story is the most bothering part of it all.

The music is exactly the kinds we want to skip except two numbers, and you already know which ones.

Bro Movie Review: The Last Word

Bro tries to tell a story and be at service to Pawan Kalyan’s fandom but does neither by the time it ends.

Bro releases on 28 July, 2023.

Plot & Screenplay : The plot revolves around Sai Dharam Tej resurrection after death, granted by The God of Time. While the concept is intriguing, the execution lacks surprises. The film effectively portrays the protagonist’s journey to mend his family and work life, but a more nuanced storyline would have added depth.

BRO Movie Review – An Average film

Bro Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating: 2.5/5

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and his nephew Sai Dharam Tej are teaming up for the first time in BRO. The film directed by Samuthirakani is inspired by the Tamil film Vinodaya Sitham. BRO is carrying decent expectations and is hitting the screens today. Ketika Sharma and Priya Prakash Warrier played other important roles. Top director Trivikram worked on the screenplay and dialogues for the Telugu version. Bollywood beauty Urvashi Rautela danced for a special number. People Media Factory and Zee Studios are the producers. Here is the review

Story: Mark alias Markandeyulu (Sai Dharam Tej) is the breadwinner of the family. After losing his father at a young age, Mark raises his brother and two sisters. Mark is a principled family head who is loved by all at home and in the office. The fantasy turn in the story is his happy life abruptly ending in an accident and since then backed by the TIME character (played by Pawan Kalyan). Mark gets a 90-day extension to his life and the rest of the story is what happens in the 90-day grace period.

BRO film has been adapted from a Tamil film called ‘Vinodhaya Sitham’. Directed by the same director Samuthirakani, who handled the original, this Telugu film ‘BRO’ outcome is a mixed bag. To improvise the film on the commercial front, the Telugu version team has overly dependent on power star pawan kalyan’s charismatic past. The writing team has compiled all Pawan Kalyan hit songs, and inserted them throughout the film sometimes perfectly syncs with the context, sometimes forcibly. In the first half the theme worked out and appeared entertaining. Pawan Kalyan as TIME shows up in various characters and entertains fans. His costumes and histrionics are of his top-class form. The subtle political flavor dialogues are smartly embedded without being out of place.

The main story is philosophical in nature, the climax summarizes the essence of modern days life very well. However, this essence of the film is overshadowed by elements added to appeal to Pawan’s fans. At some point, this film appears as if we are watching a Pawan Kalyan AV played in audio functions or in prerelease functions. There is not much scope for songs, but the songs that exist are decent. Production values by ‘people media factory’ are adequate. The VFX work could have been better though. Trivikram’s improvisation doesn’t help much other than inserting fans stuff

Performances:

Pawan Kalyan rescues this film with his screen presence. Sai Dharam Tej acted adequately as Mark. However, in the dance sequences apparently, he is not comfortable yet. Brahmanandam appears in one scene, and it is a good one. Vennela Kishore and Tanikella Bharani had very limited roles. Primarily the entire film is carried out between Pawan and Sai Dharam Tej.

Pawan Kalyan Screen Presence Pawan Hit Songs as a backdrop to a few scenes. Entertainment in the First half Crisp Run Time

Negatives :

Shallow story Overstuffed fans elements The original story lost its flavor.

Bro film works only for fans, subpar experience for all others. While trying to commercially elevate Pawan’s character, the writing team has overstuffed the fan elements aspect and lost the original soul of the film. Thaman’s energetic background score and Pawan’s past hit songs keep this film alive. An average film AT THE BEST!
