The Indian adaptation of Gavin O'Connor and Cliff Dorfman original story by Ekta Pathak Malhotra has a major flaw in ignoring and not properly establishing the character of the eccentric younger brother as seen in original. Elder son David (Akshay Kumar) doesn,t give any eye of concern to his father and half brother Monty. What could have been a double dose of action and emotion with an action super star like Akshay and a promising Sidharth in hand? Director Karan with more resources at his disposal strangely does a ‘soutela’’ vyavahar’ (step brother treatment) to the given opportunity and delivers an unimaginative, lame experience that’s at some times is unintentionally funny too.Īnyhow the presence of action king Akshay Kumar and a reformed Sidharth (even in a poorly established character) beats up the flaws to a certain extend avoiding any negative feedbacks at least from the diehard fans.īut beyond star power and favorable holiday weekend, ‘Brothers’ ability to deliver a knockout punch by the merit of its content seems difficult.Ī veteran MMA (Mix Martial Arts) fighter Gary (Jackie Shroff) releases from Jail and is received by his younger son Monty (Sidharth Malhotra). ![]() ‘Agneepath’ fame Karan Malhotra this time fails to do justice. Though the original relied on the tried, tested but trusted clichés ‘Warrior’ terrific action sequences, controlled emotional handling and the interesting eccentricity associated with Tom Hardy’s character made the kill. ![]() ’Brothers’ starring Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra is an easy, uninspiring, simple, obvious and boring remake of the 2011 Hollywood’s ‘Warrior’ that starred Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. Lacking the required ‘dharma’ of an action packed emotional karma.
