Sorry Bhai-Movie Review

'Sorry Bhai' is the only movie I watched in the last one month.

It is a simple well-shot,well-narrated,very well acted movie but has been ignored by the audience.
They probably did not like the tag 'Come fall in love-with your brother's bide'.
I am not western or modern in my outlook.I do believe in Indian culture and values.
But then, 'Sorry Bhai is just a movie, not a way of life.

The story goes like this....Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi play parents to Sanjay Suri and Sharman Joshi. Shabana plays a bit dominated kinda mom but has a good sense of humor.
Sharman plays a nerd scientist. Sharman and the parents live in India while Sanjay Suri is settled in Mauritius since the last 5 years or so. Sanjay has been more or less disconnected from the family and Shabana is upset over that as Sanjay has been her favoirite child.

Now,Sanjay Suri is getting married and he invites his family to Mauritius. Sharman and Sanjay's fiancee, Chitrangada, become friends almost immediately.
Slowly they get attracted to each other and that forms the crux of the story...

The attraction between Chitrangada and Sharman has been depicted beautifully...

Everybody has acted well.....Shabana Azmi ,as always, is excellent...Boman Irani is good..Sanjay Suri does not have a great role but is efficient ,especially in the scene when Sharman confesses and the scenes that follow...Sharman Joshi does not look like a Bollywood hero from any angle.....he has no charm at all but he is a very good actor,no doubt.
But the best thing about the movie is Chitrangada Singh..she looks the part..acts very well..has a husky voice....is sexy and appealing...all this despite her character not being very convincing..she has made it work.

Falling for your brother's girl is nonsense but as I said earlier, it is just a movie.

In short,' Sorry Bhai' is a light,romantic movie , has been photographed well.....has its doses of humor and is very well enacted by the key players...

Verdict : Go,watch it,preferably with your lover and relax.have fun.

Hey...when ever I go through your blog I feel as if I am going through some newspaper mostly grading movies and narrating some interseting charaters like me.
