Producer: Bellamkonda Suresh

Banner: Sri Sai Ganesh Productions

Story:

Brothers movie starts off with Rendai Thirige song that introduces Siamese twins Akil and Vimal played by [Suriya] and Anjali [Kajal Agarwal] too. Akhil is a champ and curious in studies, Vimal is a care-free twin. Sachin Khedekar, a researcher cum businessman is the father of conjoined twin [Suirya].

The story continues according the script and Vimal comes to know that his father is a culprit and costs his life. Rest of the Maatran story takes place in the investigation about Vimal’s death, which will be handled by Akhil along with Anjali, who is a Russian translator.

Performances:

Suriya once again proves he’s director’s actor and especially he made audiences spill out as Akil. Brothers pays off Suriya’s hardwork as a conjoined twin, for which he has done 2500 takes.

Kajal Agarwal is glamorous as Anjali and grabs viewers’ attention with the cute looks and voice over by Chinmayi has worked big time, especially as a Russian translator on mission. Sachin Khedekar as a struggling genetic scientist did his parts well.

Technical Analysis:

Coming to the technical assets of Brothers, script by KV Anand and Subha, VFX works by Srinivasa Murthy, dialogues and Harris Jayraj tunes are good. KV Anand direction is good but he has failed to handle the screenplay in the latter half. The first half was lengthy with action sequences.

Cinematographer S Sounder Rajan’s camera works are perfect, as there is no such frame that makes viewers feels Akil and Vimal are not conjoined. Srinivasa Murthy and his VFX works need a special mention, as this is the backbone of Brothers that is the first Indian movie using Motion Capture technology.

Harris Jayraj’s scores are enjoyable as ever, coming to the background music they have well supported the situations. Especially in some scenes they bring audiences get into script well.

Anthony might have done the fine editing, as the movie has many uninteresting scenes.

Analysis:

KV Anand’s Brothers appears to be the sequel to AR Murugadoss’s 7th Sense, which deals on saving India from bio-war with China, while Brothers is with Russia.

First half of Brothers is quite appealing despite few long fight sequences. It is packed with humorous conversations of Siamese twins Akil and Vimal, some romance, emotional scenes in the first half leaving some seeds for the investigation in the second half. Suriya is at his best in the film and the makers hardwork in picturing conjoined twins scenes are visible on-screens.

The second half moves from India to Russia, for some investigation by Suriya, who is supported by Kajal Agarwal, a Russian translator. However, KV Anand fails in engaging the audiences in the second half of the film. The post interval episodes are dragging and logic has gone for a toss big time. The climax part is just okay.

Final Verdict:

Brothers – Unique concept with okay execution. Watch it for Suriya’s brilliant performance…
