Chal Mere Bhai

Although Ms Kapoor's performance of Sapna at times brings out the ditziness of the character, it also seems a bit forced and makes one wonder if a bit of stronger direction might have helped. The love story on the part of the brothers (Dutt and Khan) towards Sapna is somewhat difficult to believe. One can halfway see Vicky's attraction to Sapna because of her slightly heroic actions, but it's a bit more challenging to believe that of Prem's. There are times where scene cuts and pacing have one scratching one's head. There is a drunken scene much like that in Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye, and Mr Khan shows he can do it well.

Vicky (Sanjay Dutt) and Prem (Salman Khan) are brothers and the closest of friends. Sapna (Karishma Kapoor), Vicky's secretary, and Prem fall in love, but Prem waits to announce it hoping that his older brother will find a wife first. Unfortunately, when Vicky settles on a bride, it's none other than Sapna. Prem is torn between his new love for Sapna and his long-standing devotion to Vicky.

As often happens with Bollywood, this begins as a lighthearted romantic comedy, but in the second hour becomes a more serious family drama dealing with love, duty, and sacrifice. Dutt and Khan have excellent chemistry together and were entirely convincing as brothers. Kapoor, as usual, gave a fine performance, both comedic and serious. The musical numbers were good and the costumes were beautiful. Overall, it's an excellent and enjoyable movie from beginning to end.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching David Dhavan's Chal Mere Bhai, a crazy comedy which is a complete laugh riot for the entire family. The movie has drama, action, romance and comedy, all blended together to create a picture that keeps you entertained from start to finish. The film tells the story of two loving brothers, Vicky and Prem, both of whom fall for the same girl. That sounds rather dramatic, but everything is flavoured with great humour and is great fun to watch. Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan play the leading roles, they do a great job and have a great chemistry with Karisma Kapoor, but more than anything they just look like real brothers simply because of their own friendship behind the cameras. Everything in their interaction is incredibly convincing and nice to watch. Sanju is restrained and subdued and Salman is naturally funny with his happy-go-lucky attitude. Karisma Kapoor is awesome as the innocent and unassuming yet smart Sapna. These three leads act according to the film's mood and provide the film's most hilarious moments. What I particularly liked about the movie is its lighthearted nature. The movie has practically no villains and the supporting cast pretty much resembles the big good family of Hum Aapke Hain Koun. Anand-Milind compose a lovely soundtrack for the film. Among the songs, "Aajkal Ki Ladkiyan" is very catchy, "Chori Chori Sapnon" is also very nice, but my favourite number is "Meri Neend Jaane Lagi Hai", which is very melodious and is beautifully pictured on screen. Chal Mere Bhai is not some extraordinary film but it's very entertaining and deserves many repeat viewings, at least according to me.

This is a very clear movie,one of those successive comedies made by David Dhawan in count of a very proper couple.at that times Salman Khan & Karisma Kapoor made 8 films together and except 1 or 2 they were all funny. David Dhawan discovered their perfect chemistry of act & i believe that Chal Mere Bhai was one of the last pictures made with this formal couple.it is a good film with funny & dramatic moments.a typical David Dhawan movie. story of Sapna(Karisma Kapoor)who comes to Mumbai to find a job while she live with his uncle Mamaji(Shakti Kapoor),when she goes for interview she meets Vicky Oberoi(Sanjay Dutt),the serious chairman of the Oberoi's industry company.who does not hire Sapna because she did not arrive in interview in time.& when Sapna meets Vicky's Dad the head boss Balraj Oberoi(Dalip Tahil),he becomes impressed of Sapna and hires her.during all the incidents Oberoi family have another son whose name is Prem(Salman Khan).he is a playboy who wishes to be a superstar.and when he faces Sapna he happens to love her and Sapna loves Prem either.but Vicky suddenly falls in love with Sapna and cause he has lost his girlfriend before,he chooses Sapna's love forever and ever... good story with splendid music and performances.Sanjay Baboo is great.he plays as Vicky as good as it gets.also Salman is great as playboy Prem who finds himself drown in Sapna's love.Karisma is the best of all.she plays the naughty innocent Sapna like spectacular as she is. I regret of why KArisma and Salman don't play in films anymore.they were good couples all the time of modern Bollywood.Alas,nothing stays in good style forever.David Dhawan directs this picture better than his stupid films like:Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi,Bade Miyan Chote Miyan &... this a well made film.think full one with a repeated story but performances terrific. Vivaah old times.Vivaah old couples.Vivaah David Dhawan...

This is another comedy Dhawan has created starring the famous trio Karisma Kapoor and Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt as brothers.A really enjoyable love-triangle with Karisma Kapoor as a heroine as the cheerful and somewhat clumsy Sapna.I enjoyed the songs and the chemistry between Salman and Karisma was really great.!
