Bro

Bro is a 2023 Telugu film starring Pawan Kalyan, Sai Dharam Tej, kethika Sharma, Rohini and many others, directed by Samuthirakani. The movie is a remake ofTamil film named 'Vinodhaya sitham'. Which is directed by Samuthirakani himself.

The movie starts with the presence of Sai Dharam Tej, who is playing the role of Markandeya, a manager in a textile industry.

Markandeya aka mark always runs behind the time, the time is his daily dose of energy, he wants everything to be done prior. Mark is the only source of income for his family, and these qualities makes him a boomer. While returning from Vizag to Hyderabad by road, he meets with an accident and dies on the spot. This leads meet up with the God of Time ( pawan Kalyan). Mark is given a chance of 90 days to spend his last days with his family. And to take care of his responsibilities.

What all things he can manage in this period and the lessons he learnt during this is the story . Obviously, the self - realisation plays a crucial part in the story. As the time is his sole priority.

The movie's duration is 2hrs and 10 mins and in this period, one thing needs to be praised is the presentation of characters and their impact. Everyone were given equal importance. Pawan Kalyan's acting energises the screen. The way he guides mark, shown very properly. But, in order to bring the vintage kalyan vibes, all the makers can do is to add his previous movie's songs and make people cheer to it. If this is what expected by the title vintage, it would be better to re-release all his movies. The movie is filled with his references. These references aren't a part of the plot, the plot is a part in these references, ( to be noted). It even reduces the energy of the music composer to compose songs. These are just meant for his fans. Others can't enjoy the ride. No importance were given to emotions in the first half . And coming to the interval sequence, it was good, but, it didnt make me await for the later half. However, the interval shot is kind of a god level stuff.

The second half, is completely plot driven, it builds an emotion between the family. Family problems occur in this period and gets covered or solved within a moment. And these parts were shot rushed and runny. Overall, everything gets resolved and creates an emotional ending

The direction is one of the good things in this film. Dir. Samuthirakani handled the plot himself and presented it in a delicate manner. Sai Tej's performance wasn't as engaging as his other movies does.

The sister's roles were just to carry the emotions and they hardly generate gags in few scenes

Pawan Kalyan's political punches and references are enjoyable to few. But the emotions can be seen and carried by everyone. His costumes brightens the screen.kudos to Neeta Lulla.

The lead actress's Ketika Sharma role was not at all fit to plot and the bonding between Tej and Ketika was too filmy.

Thaman's compositions fell flat except the bro anthem.

Trivikram's involvement makes no change in the screenplay or in the dialogues. The dialogues weren't of his level. Basically, his touch went invisible.

Music and dialogues were the drawbacks of the film.

Overall, it's a Pawan Kalyan's show and the other characters are the puppets played in his order.its supposed to be watched with family. The family audience might get connected to this emotional entertainer. But didn't serve me this time. Of course, knowing that it's a remake of a straight ott film, it gives the same vibes. The soul of the original missed in this . Yet all I can say at the end is, It's just for the hardcore fans and the families.

Excellent performance of all the actors. Just one Television is leading the entire plot, what a great thought. Simply superb. Kudos to the entire cast and crew..

Kudos to the entire cast and crew.,Dooradarshan a very unique and a nostalgic movie where in u get connected very quickly... This movie reminds you about ur childhood. It is a very good comedy drama film.. It also has a cute love story between Pruthvi sir and Ayaana mam.. And also has a very good villain. For the 2000's generation it is very good movie. Thy can have a look on how the 1990's were. They also get a chance to experience how the Television was at that time. You also come to know how people were crazy about the most trending serial at that time that is Ramayan... All these good memories back then has been brought to you in this movie.,Amazing job done by the Directer Mr Sukesh Shetty and also Producer Mr Rajesh Bhat. All the very best to the whole entire team!!!!

As with every movie, it's Pawan Kalyan's one man show all the way. Except for his antics and those vintage avatars, there's nothing much to write about.

Sai Tej looks bloated, physically restrained and acting wise, out of depth, so many scenes with lip sync issues, bad performance. Rest of the cast are just generic and stereotypical.

Technically, cinematography by Sujith Vaassudev is good, but letdown by some tacky VFX, editing by Naveen Nooli is okayish, should have trimmed few portions, Thaman's music is disappointing, the songs just act as speed breakers, though the BGM is decent.

Writing by Trivikram is subpar, there's good story at hands, only to be marred by half-baked screenplay.

Direction by Samuthirakani is average, focussing more on PK, he fails to handle the emotional aspects.

Bottom-line: mini meals for Fans, just okayish for others.

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.

I had decent amount of hopes when this film came out. The moment it came out on ott, I watched it, this movie is a huge letdown to me.

The only pro in this movie was: Pawan Kalyan's superb acting in his role

But other than that... -This movie is very slow -Dialogues were below average -The ending feeling like another 2-hour add-on to the film -This movie is simply just overrated because PSPK was in it

People who worked in this film got a huge degrade, especially the big actors and Trivikram (a famous director).

I don't know why Simuthirakani decided to make a remake of his movie Vinodhaya Sitham when it was already enough for us, it was just a waste of good acting and time.

Finally, please do not waste your time watching this movie, it really isn't worth it.
