Hello Brother

It's almost 22 years and I still find this film as refreshing as the first time I watched it on Doordarshan in 2003. Afterwards, I've rewatched it bazillion times and enjoyed it a lot. To me, Hello Brother is the cult snapshot of innocent and timeless comedy, sets in a world that never exists in reality. It takes me away from the rollercoaster of life and alleviates stress and depression.

In this review, I will not defend this film as Salman Khan himself declared his dislikeness towards the content but I found out this film extremely funny, the chemistry between Salman, Arbaaz, Johnny, Neeraj Vohra, and Razak Khan was impeccable, the action sequences were hilarious and the screenplay was mind blogging. It was a film made with a good heart. Humour doesn't need logic and so does Hello Brother 😀, It's a free ride to Funland, the good old times.

After the magical spell of "Pyar Kiya tu Darna Kya", Sohail tried to present another story of sweetness & innocence with the stroke of supernatural comedy with cheap thrills, and in my opinion, he was successful as Hello Brother was the most likable film of our school life. We as a kid loved Hero aka Salman Khan and now as a Youngman, I want to have the childish and positive attitude of a hero in my life. I am critical but sometimes I want to lose myself and laugh out hard at battles of life. I want to defeat the trolls and stand out. So, thank you Sohail Khan for making the world of Hello Brother, It's a perfect escape from reality for at least 2 hours and 13 minutes.

I known the film was bombed at the box office but I always had a good time while watching this especially with my wife though Salman was overacted but we laughed at his comical act, he was matchless. Arbaz, Johnny, and Neeraj complimented him with their sarcastic performances with equal melodies and a catchy soundtrack.

Last Word:

Cult & all-time favorite comedy, a trapdoor to innocence and madness for the generation and kids of 1990s.

Hero (Salman Khan) who works for a courier company owned by Khanna (Shakti Kapoor), is in love with his best friend, Rani (Rani Mukerji). Inspector Vishal (Arbaaz Khan) is investigating the courier company as a drug ring, and also falls in love with Rani. Vishal and Hero become entwined in an unforeseen way, and together they defeat Khanna.

This movie is ridiculous beyond compare, and is so slapstick that is hard to watch at times. Arbaaz Khan plays the straight guy well, but Salman Khan's role is so silly that it's hard to find sympathy for him. Mukerji doesn't appear enough to give a quality performance. The premise (which I won't give away) was truly great, but the presentation of it was truly terrible. Really, the only good part was watching the real- life brothers play opposite each other, and even that couldn't raise this movie to anything beyond mediocre.

You need a brain of a 2 yr old and lots of patience to watch such a film

It is so bad that it makes even the worst films look classics

Some classic gems of this film Salman Khan acting like a small 5 year old, he jumps around, dances and does all weird stuff which we could scold our small children for doing

Arbaaz Khan, he makes me laugh when he is funny not for the right reasons

Razzak Khan who transforms to some funny buddha standing on his leg wtf and then Neeraj Vohra who leaves gas

Damn the film is a classic of how not to do a film

Sohail Khan the priveliged brother of Salman who lacks talent as an actor or anything else after the supercrazy yet successful and entertaining PKTDK brings the worst film on earth

The film starts with Salman singing in his own voice CHAANDI KI DAAL which is horrible and his acting is worse then it

The special effects are bad, comedy is horrible and direction is very bad

Sohail Khan's direction is very bad Music is okay

Salman Khan oh my god im gonna go crazy to think what to call him in this film, Arbaaz is horrible Rani Mukherjee is just there in the film Johny is funny in parts horrible in many Neeraj Vohra is okay Shakti Kapoor is as usual

You had to be a teen at that time to love this movie. It was made for that time's audience and it is a go to for me and my sis. We loved it during the first time watch and still do. Teenage memories for us. The stupidity and the silliness is what's the best about it. The sense less comedy and illogical scenes!. But it is something I still can watch in my late 30s and have a great laugh, even by myself. Caught it again on Netflix today and thoroughly enjoyed.

Humor you don't see very often.

Arbaaz was great. Salman was very funny Dialogues were out of this world in a good way Overall a well spent movie. this is a movie i would see again and again.Rani was good for a new comer at that time. Salman takes control throughout the movie and the inspector is very funny and so is johnny lever. watch the movie if you want humor. But i will admit that this movie will be very enjoyable for kids. The music is very nice and i think the sound effects are rather funny too. If you feel the need to take the edge off and just have a good old laugh then this is the movie you should definitely pick without doubt And the movie is for everyone except for a lil story based on drugs otherwise its a wholesome family movie. Go for it!
