Bro

This Telugu remake of Samuthirakani's Vinodhaya Sitham, adapted to screen by Trivikram keeps the sweet message intact but misses out on the specifics in it's attempt to glorify the Powerstar. Markandeyulu aka Mark, is trying hard to run the family with an iron fist and get his sisters settled in life which he deems to be good for them. A fatal accident, pitches him against Time himself who gives him a second chance at making this right with a deadline of 90 days.

The original had an aged Thambi Ramaiah getting the second chance and somehow it is easier to connect with his story. Here, Mark is too young to join a company and within 8 years raise upto the level of GM or even MD of the company. It is this age factor alone makes it hard to relate to him trying to control all his siblings and their lives. Bringing in Pawan Kalyan as the Time, in a role Samuthirakani had played subtly. That very subtlety is stripped off and in the attempt to do ultimate fan service, the random addition of Pawan Kalyan's songs don't gel well with the film's narrative.

Sure, there are quire a few sermons the Time provides but none leave a mark. The songs are below the mark as well. The key scene of Mark's outburst at the pub is undermined with a song and the forced action scene doesn't offer much. There is a certain expectation when the dialogues are from Trivikram but he doesn't live upto the expectation. The effort that went in adapting the simple Tamil story, loses it's essence over commercializing it.

As usual, PK movie where the importance is given to hero but not to the story. Story concept is very nice, but story is kept a side. First 10 mins and last 15 mins is enough to watch the concept.

Pavan kalyan introduction is good and tej action is also good. No content in the movie. Felt bored watching movie.

I never been felt bored in the movie theater that too pavan kalyan movie.

Expected some different subject from samudrakani gaaru. 1st Half movie is fully concentrated on introducing and hyping pavan kalyan gaaru. But any ways 2nd half have shown some interest to sit in the movie theater. 🎬

This is my perception and my feeling in movie theater.every one will have there own perception.

Highlights: Pavan kalyan Gaaru , Bramhanandam Gaaru, Tej.

Drawback: Lack of proper story and character of heroine and love story.

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.

Positives:

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" is a legit redo of the Tamil flick "Vinodhaya Sitham." But, let me tell ya, the changes suggested by that idiot Guruji are seriously lame, man. The screenplay got tweaked too, with some silly and cheap masala stuff thrown in, which is just meh.

The characters might've been a bit silly in the original, but in this remake, they're downright foolish, ya know? The first half kinda keeps ya interested, but the second half? Boring as hell and way too long, dude.

Sai Dharam Tej tried his best, but it didn't hit the bullseye. Pawan Kalyan looks stylish, but let's be real, his acting skills ain't that great.

Don't even get me started on Ketika. Bramhanandam deserved better.

Some of Pawan Kalyan's costumes are cool, some are just blah. The songs suck, and the background score's alright in a few scenes.

The cinematography's decent, I guess. But man, Samudrakhani's direction feels hella clumsy and too influenced by Guruji.

I'd say skip this flick, but if you really wanna see it, just wait for the OTT release, bro.
