Everyone knows that Bollywood writers can't write,their film makers can't think. Their every movie is composed of copied elements,mostly they like to adapt foreign films. This is the whole story of Bollywood. This time,they adapted 'The Warrior" in traditional way. "Brothers", the Bollywood remake,even don't equals the dust of "Warrior."Brothers" is a highly slow paced drama film with uninspiring,colourless scenes.Though the acting performance by lead actors was amazing,but overall this film is totally worthless. The length of this film is ridiculous,its not easy to watch 3 Hour film which cannot keep you engaged.If you will encourage movies like this one,than you will face even worse experiments from Bollywood in Future.0.05/10

i was a bit angry, and was my primary reason for writing this review.the main thing i can say about this movie is that its a total worthless copy of the movie Warrior, i mean the basic thing about any movie is its plot and story and if u cant even get your own plot or story then u probably should stop making movies.And really its not that India doesn't have good writers or good stories to be told, so why copy.Besides copying the story from another movie lets review the other things. its got great songs that i gotta say no doubt on that. and the direction is pretty good too. the acting i gotta say was not that up to the mark but then again i automatically start comparing it with the movie Warrior which was phenomenally directed written and the actors did pretty amazing as well.

Brothers, a Bollywood action-drama film, an official remake of 2011 Hollywood film Warrior, based on Mixed Martial Arts (MMA); directed by Karan Malhotra known for his directorial debut Agneepath.To begin with I really had high expectations for this movie, after watching the trailer few months ago I was really pumped up, then again you shouldn't really have high expectations for remakes. The film is about two estranged brothers, played by Akshay Kumar as David Fernandes, a physics school teacher who quits his daily job to become a fighter and to save his ill daughter. And Monty Fernandes, a street fighter who has grudge on his brother David for something he did in their tragic past. The two set out to face the fight in the R to F tournament, Right to Fight, which has just been legalized in India; along with their father Gary Fernandes played by Jackie Shroff, a former street fighter, who is just out of prison and is a recovering alcoholic, and is trying to set things right between them.The cast is really good in this movie, Akshay Kumar as David has given a terrific performance. A young school teacher/fighter, a family guy character really suits him, and he pulled it off.Sidharth Malhotra as younger brother Monty, he works as an illegal street fighter and his tragic past just makes him stronger. This is his fourth film and I think it's his best performance so far.Jacqueline Fernandez is good in the film as David's wife. Ashutosh Rana is in this film as David's trainer, even he has given an amazing performance; but its Jackie Shroff who is worth mentioning, he is really struggling to get things right between him and his sons, he isn't able to come off from what he did in the past, his two sons are the only things left for him in his world, and one is avoiding him completely. There is a scene at the beginning of the movie, where he comes out of his prison cell and we have this long shot of him going through his belongings, he goes through his wallet searching for something, and the camera focuses on hands which is shaking with anxiety, it's just amazing, and really emotional, a tear jerking moment in the movie.First half of the movie isn't really that great, as a whole this movie is an emotion packed action film, but there are a few cheesy things in it like Akshay Kumar showing which hits the ground first experiment to 8th or 9th grade students, I had a big pokerface when in saw that, that experiment is meant for little kids, not for high school students; and there comes an unnecessary item number just out of nowhere to lure the audience into the theater. Well thank you for ruining the movie sir.In the Warrior; the two brothers are dealing with something really bad, Joel Edgerton has an ill daughter and he needs money for the treatment, his brother Tom Hardy has a really sad tragic past, a gripping back-story, something bad has happened to him, and we audience are crushed between these two brothers, stuck in between this sibling rivalry, not knowing whom to root for; we feel so bad for both of them and we want both to win the fight, the fight sequences were really amazing and it felt so real. Well that's not the case in this film; whenever Sidharth Malhotra(Monty) is on screen, all you see is him wearing a vest, depressed, holding a small bottle of alcohol, with an angry revengeful look on his face; how can you back someone like that? You wont feel anything towards him and you will end up rooting for David.The actual fight scene starts only after the interval; it's the second half of the film which really counts and its way better than the first half. The fight sequence is good, but we have those overused fake punch sound effects, way many cuts in between, and too many close-up shots and shaky cam to make it look intense; that's kind of a huge turn off; but still it's enough to keep you entertained throughout the movie.So over all Brothers is an emotion packed, tear jerking action- drama film, which isn't even nearly as good as the original 2011 film Warrior, but it's good enough to keep you entertained, and way better; a sensible movie when compared to most of the Bollywood films we are getting these days; and it would have been even more better if the first half of the movie were as good as the second.

The first half is emotional and contains flashback because it has a story. People should keep patience. Director takes his time and tells the story in the first half but now in the second half its complete action. Those fights are so realistic it will give you goosebumps. The stadium ,the commentators, the crowd it looks like a real battle is on. Great stuff man. Akshay Kumar is Excellent. His acting, his body, his emotions. Just amazing. Siddharth what a transformation. That angry young man look is killer bro. Your body , your look your acting is Outstanding. Jackie is brilliant as always. Jacqueline looks beautiful as always. Kareena is a cherry on the cake. Background music is orgasmic. Its a complete roller coaster ride. Director takes his time in the first half and blasts the second half. Don't give a damn about the critics who have disliked this movie because they are just comparing it with Warrior which should not have happened. Its a Bollywood movie and you have to keep that in mind. Film could have been shortened but never the less people are loving it. That matters. Go watch and enjoy this bloody battle.
