Story
Bhai Nagarjuna in Hongkong has a bhai (brother) in Hyderabad who is an undercover cop Arjun (Prasanna) who becomes a needle in the neck for the underworld activities. Nag working for the big boss David (Ashish Vidyarthi) and his son (Sonu Sood) comes to Hyderabad to do with the undercover cop but comes to know that he is his own brother. After that Nag’s plans change. He then starts saving Arjun from the big bad guys.
Analysis :
If you are looking for good plot or a different story Bhai is definitely not the right pick. Even a great fan may lose patience in the love scenes with Richa. Father- son, brother-sister and brother-brother sentiments are not pictured rightly.
All the effort the director Veerabhadram made was to give a rich look and focus more on the hero as if it is his debut film of Nagarjuna.
Apart from a small turn in the story, Brahmanandam’s comedy and first song there is not much to expect in the movie. All it is having is a routine stuff and dull pace.
Performance :
As written earlier the sole purpose of the movie seems to make it a show case for Nagarjuna’s acting talent. Excepting the role of Brahmanandam’s comedy role, nobody else is given proper importance in the script that made it difficult to show their worth. Richa and Sonu Sood were wasted along with many other actors. But as the scope is given to full extent to Nag, he acted very well as usual in fights and sentiments, making punches with dialogues and dancing.
Veerabhadram failed in making it an entertainer and Devi Sri Prasad failed in the music and also Sameer Reddy failed in his job of Cinematography. The movie shows how bad an expert can work and how a talent can be wasted.
Final Word: If you are a fan of Nagarjuna and want to see him on the screen better go to one of his old movies instead of watching Bhai and repent for it. If you want to watch a good movie during the weekend, Bhai is certain to disappoint you. If you don’t watch it, you will not miss anything but rather be saved from a bad taste in the mouth.
