Sorry Bhai (2008)

Thanks for the memories!

Excellent but underrated film

Best movie ever!

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Superb and absolute refreshing movie. Family should watch it together.Beautiful location and nice scripting as well.Acting was also too good.Path breaking film for Indian society. Great film. I saw it after Kapoor & sons. Still I believe this is much better.Without any 2nd thought go for it.

it was an OK movie.........i didn't expect this movie to be good and thought it would be a flop.........but to my surprise it was an OK movie and to my expectations it was a flop at B.O..i have seen lot of movies like this.the twist was not that good and was a little predictable to me .i really liked how the movie went on going,it was a little heartwarming..........chitranga not that great actor......and joshi overacted little.and one thing was i didn't get was the relation between the two- joshi and chitranga because joshi repeatedly stops chitranga from making a move on him and when she doesn't make a move he makes it to which she stops at first but little later moves on with it and they make out....i mean what the heck u want a fling or ur in love that i really didn't get.mm overall the ending twist would work for some people but for me it didn't.........his best film as compared with his other ones.

The biggest reason I was looking forward to Sorry Bhai, was Chitrangada Singh and her comeback. I expected Sorry Bhai to be a good movie since it has beautiful visuals and a good director Onir, with a couple of really good movies to back him up. Well, neither Chitrangada Singh nor the movie actually disappointed me.Scientist Siddharth(Sharman Joshi) is given "Ma Kasam" by elder brother Harsh(Sanjay Suri) to bring her along for his wedding with Aaliyah(Chitrangada Singh) to be held in Mauritius. Their mom(Shabana Azmi) is least interested in attending the wedding because Harsh is getting married against her wishes. Dad(Boman Irani) and Siddharth succeed in bringing mom to Mauritius where Aaliyah is Siddharth's local guide. What happens after they both end up falling in love with each other forms the rest of the film.Sharman Joshi does justice to his unconventional role, unlike his other Bollywood flicks. In fact Sharman and Sanjay just appear irreplaceable in their characters once You've seen the movie. Chitrangada Singh not only looks extremely good throughout but also comes out with a brilliant and a natural performance. The older couple, Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani who with their chemistry after Honeymoon Travels, definitely give the younger screen couples a run for their money.The music is average with the best track being "Mere Khuda". A few misses here and there but all in all a good movie.

Firstly, after "Bas Ek Pal" this is another movie from director Onir, with its inspiration from the West. The plot is quite similar to "Dan In Real Life" (2007) and it is too bold and a strange choice of topic by the director.Secondly, the story is indigestive and unacceptable both in our part of the world and in the West too. Because still the viewers haven't gone broadminded to this extent that they can accept such kind of story all in the name of LOVE & EMOTIONS.Thirdly, even in this controversial plot there are performances worth watching and worth praising but they all may go un-noticed due to the non availability of viewers.About the story, think about a younger brother falling in love with the fiancée of his elder brother, just before 5 days of their marriage. Then as the marriage gets postponed for few days, they cannot resist, make love to each other in a garment store's changing room. After knowing the truth the mother of the boys strangely allows the couple to have a live in relationship leaving the elder brother alone.This is not out of the box thinking or innovation of any kind. In my opinion this is simply wrong choice of plot and looks like deliberately chosen to create a controversy and get the extra attention. And the most debatable part is the climax and the solution given to the unexpected problem. It looks like Onir was not able to decide how to end this unconventional plot and he settled with whatever he could think of. I simply couldn't understand why the mother suggests his younger son and the girl to have a live in relationship. And why does she want them to get married (post her death) after 11 years and that too when they have got two children out of their live in years. Also absurdly the elder brother remains witness to all this and even is shown celebrating their marriage. The last half hour is completely confusing and nonsensical.As I see it, the love making scene was not required at the first place and was totally avoidable. This gave a complete new and blind turn to the movie. On the other hand, the plot should have used the love angle only as an infatuation. This situation can arise in real life too and it is quite possible. We all do get attracted towards many persons we come across in our lives, but we cannot start an affair with anyone we like. And that too with the lady who is going to be married in 5 days and we are there invited to attend her marriage only. In my opinion, if the characters were made to control themselves and accept it as a healthy and friendly infatuation then the movie could have been a milestone for Onir. But instead he decided to mould it in an unethical way which was a drastic mistake.Now if we just keep the story out of mind and emphasize only on the performances, then there are worth watching acts by almost all the characters. Among the top on the list are Shabana Azmi and Chitrangda Singh. Shabana gives another milestone performance of her career. She is more than perfect in the role of mother of the family and she was the only one who could do justice with this role. Chitrangda has the beauty out of this world. She simply lights up the screen with her presence. In fact you cannot watch any other person sharing screen presence with her as she never allows you to take eyes off her. She was rightly compared to Smita Patil in her first film as she has got the talent and beauty both in the right measures. She stands at equal heights confidently with the veteran Shabana Azmi and makes her presence felt in front of her. Moments where Shabana and Chitrangda are together on the screen are brilliantly directed and give you back the worth of your money.Boman Irani is so cool as the father. Though Shabana & Boman together remind you of "Honeymoon Travels", but still they look as a perfect couple and Boman Irani provides the required comic relief to the movie. Sharman Joshi as the younger brother impresses and his magical smile says a lot. But Sanjay Suri is OK as the elder brother. He also does not get enough attention post interval. Musically the songs sound soothing while watching but a song worth remembering is missing. The movie is mostly shot outdoors in Mauritius and the beautiful locations are canned superbly.In short, the story in unconvincing and the script is indigestible but you may watch the film only for the superlative act by the leading ladies, Shabana Azmi & Chitrangda Singh. You will love them both.
