Review: Ita s almost brutal to put one through the trauma of watching this film. At best, Hey Bro can be called a mind numbing experience. Anyone who has seen it cannot be more subtle in putting across this lingering feeling. Dragging despicable laughs for its formidable length of nearly two hours, this film is exhausting.
A twisted version of Bollywooda s successful twin formula, the prime problem with this film is that despite drawing from a curious idea, it eventually remains tangled in the expected clap-traps and predictable laughs. Fitting in far too many fat jokes, the comic chops of Acharya can appease only those who can fall for broad humour.
In terms of commercial expectations, the film fails in both comedy and dance. The latter element especially should be the highlight of a Ganesh Acharya film but none of the dance pieces stand out.
The film is strictly mediocre and submits you to the staple drama-action formula. The actors make no attempt to bail you out of this tragedy. Though Acharya, Hilal and Singh atleast try, Nupur Sharmaa s inexperience shows visibly in her performance.
It is director Ajay Chandhoka s premise that saves the film from tripping over into the so-bad-that-it-is-good zone. Probably it had an interesting idea but the lack of sharp writing teamed with underwhelming performances, restricts it to being shoddy.
Never soaring above being an outlandish vanity project for Acharya, it offers nothing more than a few lame laughs and garishly set-up songs. It won't be the worst thing to miss it.
