Samuthirakani’s ‘Vinodhaya Sitham’ was a movie that was showered with love. The fantasy movie was loaded with questions on life. It makes you marvel concerning the management we’ve got over our household and our life. And the considered what would occur to our household after our demise is one thing we’ve all considered. ‘Vinodhaya Sitham’ answered all of them.

That is the place the Telugu remake, ‘BRO’, falters. The Telugu model is just too lengthy, courtesy Samuthirakani, who had determined to offer in to the calls for of a business movie. He included particular numbers and umpteen references to Pawan Kalyan’s profession and his political ideologies. In truth, ‘Bro’ turns into a star worship automobile as a substitute of what it was imagined to be.

Pawan Kalyan is in supreme kind and has had most enjoyable right here. When he dances or performs his songs, resembling ‘Emi Sodara’ or ‘La La Bheemla’, you cheer for him unknowingly. That’s his attraction! That’s his swag. These further additions act as a velocity breaker, thereby diluting the emotional core of the movie. What labored within the Tamil model didn’t work within the Telugu reboot due to its commercialisation.

Sai Dharam Tej, as a person who’s racing towards time, is nice for probably the most half. In terms of emotional sequences, his efficiency might have been higher. The ladies within the movie, Rohini, Priya Prakash Varrier and Yuva Lakshmi, have stable roles. Their character arcs make us really feel concerned and also you are likely to root for them when the movie is working.

‘BRO’ might have been a trustworthy remake, had it toned down the additional additions. With particular numbers and references, it turns into a watered-down model of ‘Vinodhaya Sitham’.

2 out of 5 stars for ‘BRO’.
