Bro Daddy Review: A fairy-tale family film

Story: John Kattady and his spouse Annamma take into consideration marrying off their son Eesho to Anna, who’s the daughter of their long-time household pal Kurien. Eesho and Anna don’t act too impressed with one another, regardless of their dad and mom’ curiosity within the alliance. Little do the households know what’s going on behind the curtains of their lives.

Overview: Proper from its promos, Bro Daddy has been giving the vibes of an aesthetically shot high-class household comedy drama, wealthy with opulent settings, a Kottayam Christian background and a few buoyant characters. Providing an prolonged fairy-tale model of the identical, the film is sort of desperate to entertain by way of each inch of it, by way of its 2.5 hours plus operating time.

Although the dad and mom of Eesho (Prithviraj Sukumaran) and Anna (Kalyani Priyadarshan) have been mates for years and are desperate to get their kids married to one another, the children aren’t too eager to do the identical. Eesho’s dad John (Mohanlal) additionally feels that his son can’t impress Kurien (Lalu Alex), Anna’s father, as a son-in-law. Nonetheless, each the households are in the dead of night relating to how the children’ lives are in Bengaluru, the place each of them work.

Due to its gifted forged, Bro Daddy retains one within the proceedings proper from the start. Prithviraj and Mohanlal supply some attention-grabbing moments of the equations between a son and pop, who don’t have a lot age hole between them. Lalu Alex has additionally tried to tickle our humorous bones at numerous stretches within the movie, wherein Kalyani Priyadarshan’s characterisation, too, is refreshing. Deepak Dev’s music fits the temper of the film fairly nicely.

On and off, there are moments when one looks like being on a luxurious house tour, because the movie navigates by way of conditions with hardly any depth. From among the too-good-to-be true character portrayals to extraordinarily predictable dialogues – together with those within the climax – the film additionally makes one wonder if any thought was put into including novelty into the content material. Soubin Shahir’s character tries exhausting to power laughter into the mess, however usually fails. The movie’s period can come throughout as prolonged, particularly in these parts the place one can clearly foresee the result – just like the hospital scene involving the characters of Mohanlal, Lalu Alex and Jagadish.

The followers of the main actors searching for some age-old light-weight leisure in a Kerala Christian setting can provide the movie a watch.
