Released this week in U.P., Sarkaar Films’ Chhote Bade Bhaijaan (UA) is an action film about good versus evil. Two twin brothers, Chhote Bhaijaan and Bade Bhaijaan, are messiahs who want to wipe out the criminals.
Gulafesha Khan has penned a story and screenplay that are so clichéd that after two minutes of running time, the viewer stops looking for novelty in the subject. Predictable scenes come one after the other without involving the audience whatsoever. Even his dialogues are terrible.
Usman Khan and Irfan Khan are poor performers. Chand Alam, Arti Singh and Rehan Siddiqui can barely act to save their lives. Others lend weak support.
It is difficult to say what is weaker — Nizam Khan’s direction or his editing. Both are pathetic. Music (Irfan Nazan) is of the kind which will not hold any appeal for today’s audience. Lyrics (Mumtaz Khan and Nadeem Nazan) hardly make an impression. Rohit Vicky Mahalo’s choreography is embarrassing. The mostly stock background music is poor. Irfan Khan’s camerawork is functional. Action scenes (by Navel Patel) are devoid of thrill or excitement. Sets (Amar Vishwakarma, Rajendra Kumar and Dinesh Kumar) are below standard.
On the whole, Chhote Bade Bhaijaan is a poor show and will meet with a disastrous fate.
