Deccan Chronicle · Sandeep Atreysa

His latest offing ‘Bhai’ is a good case study of how a good actor like Nagarjuna can be wasted in an age-old story with equally old-styled screenplay. The movie banks on three things- Nagarjuna, comedy and family sentiment.

One more Don story in Nagarjuna’s kitty. Director Veerabhadram served us the same wine in a new glass. First half of the story dealt with his stylish introduction and mafia backdrop.

Bhai came in with good expectations, riding on the back of a nice audio album from DSP. But the film fails to entertain. Poor screenplay, bad writing and terrible editing spoil the overall viewing experience.

First half of Bhai is unbearable with story not moving anywhere. Second half starts off with an interesting twist at the interval. There is some story to write about in the second hour.

The Times of India · Karthik Pasupulate

The film tries to juxtapose the goofiness of an Aha Na Pellanta with the stylized action of a gangster flick like say Shadow. The result we’re afraid is a dumbed-down version of Don.

The film takes off with some promising locales, hot foreign girls and good premises but Nag gives a scare with his weird hairdo like a Red Indian Chief.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
