Brothers: Bollywood celebs tweet

That’s it. David develops a fondness for his younger sibling nearly instantly, but the two fall apart after Garson accidentally kills his wife after a night of reckless drinking.

Amongst all your films till now, which is the performance that you didn’t like? All of it-snarling fighters, hooded faces, uniformed assistants marching up the ramp to swelling beats-feels very WWF and Hollywood and expensively bankrolled reality TV, rolled into one. It’s a soap opera masquerading as a boxing drama. Their father Gary Fernandes (Jackie Shroff) is an alcoholic who has to go to jail for his crime. He is now a distraught man, haunted by memories of his deceased wife Maria (Shefali Shah in an extended flashback which includes songs). “I have never seen him stressed or angry and that is very encouraging”, he said. Seriously, there must’ve been about 10 minutes of screen-time dedicated exclusively to Shroff doddering around, muttering something that sounded like “MARIAAGRBHGRBHHHHHSOSORRYGRHHBBRRRBRRHHHH”.

One year after Ek Villain, Sidharth Malhotra is now returning in a much bulked up avtar with Brothers.

I cope with it because I love it. Now, I do Capoeira ginga for warm-up, thanks to Tenzin who is the phenomenal Chinese fighter in the film, who is my second opponent in the main arena. On the other hand, Monty struggles a lot and returns to the street fighting without any confidence and determination. No idea. Probably because looking aggressively confused is the cool thing to do.

Up next for Akshay Kumar is the new movie Brothers, which focuses on the lives of two street fighting brothers and features some very physical fight scenes throughout. The actual fight scenes are also cartoonish, complete with “the generic big guy”, called Lukkha (sorry, “Luca”) no less. “Brothers” gets dragged down by its over-wrought mawkishness. It’s hard to imagine anyone making mixed martial arts cheesier than it already is, but Karan Malhotra manages that here.

This, really, is where the film should’ve redeemed itself – except it doesn’t. “When I got to know that I had to fight with him for the climax, I was a bit scared”, Sidharth said here.

Brothers, despite its contrivances, leaves you choked a few times. But it’s no Chikni Chameli and does no good to the pace of the film.

Sidharth Malhotra’s brooding, seething hulk of a figure does justice to his role. Sidharth strongly believes in promoting aggressively on this particular platform and is ready to walk one step ahead to make it happen.

Karan Malhotra, whose 2013 Agneepath had shattered numerous box office records and Aguamenti-ed lachrymal glands, has now given us Akshay Kumar-Sidharth Malhotra’s Brothers.
