Bro

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.

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.

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.
