Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Review:
Star Cast: Salman Khan, Pooja Hegde, and others
Director:Farhad Samji
Rating: 1.5 stars
The much-awaited Eid release, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, starring Salman Khan, directed by Farhad Samji, has finally hit the screens. The film is about the story of four brothers, their four girlfriends, four elders of the locality and four characters from South India. Salman Khan plays the role of Bhaijaan, who has taken care of three orphans since his teenage years, and despite living in Delhi, he has taken care of Bhaiji, Dadda. Although Salman Khan has his own fan base, it’s too late for him to understand that his fan base is not his kingdom. This film is Salman Khan’s fourth film to release on Eid, which may attract huge numbers of fans, but it has robbed them of the opportunity to celebrate Eid.
You will witness a lot of flashback sequences in this film adapted from Ajith Kumar’s ‘Veeram’ released in 2014. The script of the film is such that everything becomes clear in the very first scene as to what is going to happen next. The 15-minute entry seen of the hero, wearing a jacket, defies physics. What else?
The work the audience should have done in the cinema hall, Farhad Samji gets the lead actors of his film and hundreds of junior actors to do. They need to remember that the audience whistles at the entry of the hero and not the actors of the film. Not to forget, almost every song in the film is ‘unbearable and we can say that Salman has completely ruined them.
The film’s heroine, Pooja Hegde, does good acting on screen, but it seems that Alia Bhatt has dubbed her in the whole film, or maybe she is imitating Alia Bhatt. It’s her fifth useless film in Hindi since 2016. She still has to wait for another worthy release.
The film has its moments of goodness. If anything impresses the entire film, it is the dialogue of Salman Khan in which he says, “We are all brothers by choice and this is our most unbreakable bond.” He is the brother-in-law of his three younger brothers and later the whole township starts recognizing him by this name. This scene is of Geet Gyan of his character Bhaijaan, and after the film ‘Bharat,’ Salman Khan’s character once again tries to show that humanity is above the distinction of religion, caste, and caste.
Overall, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ is completely disconnected from its target audience. Salman Khan’s character has no name, and there are ineffective stories of fellow artists. The changing images of Salman Khan have made a mockery of the importance of his character. Farhad Samji has his own style; he doesn’t just make up the story, he just thinks of 10 to 12 scenes and then creates something to connect them together.
Verdict
In conclusion, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ is not a film that one can appreciate. The film fails to create an impact on the audience, and it is not worth watching. The film will disappoint Salman Khan’s fans and moviegoers who expect good cinema.
