Brother Movie Review: A Missed Balance of Drama and Comedy
In Brother, Karthik (Jayam Ravi) is a justice-driven man whose relentless pursuit of “doing the right thing” strains his family. When his father’s health worsens from stress, Karthik’s sister takes him to Ooty, hoping he’ll change. However, his actions soon disrupt her family, leading to a major revelation from his father that forces Karthik to reconsider his values.
While the film sets up an engaging family drama, it falters with forced comedy that dilutes the emotional depth. Jayam Ravi shines in serious moments, but his comedic timing falls short. Bhumika Chawla brings strength, but other characters are underdeveloped or exaggerated. Harris Jayaraj’s soundtrack, aside from the catchy ‘Makkamishi’, fails to stand out. Ultimately, Brother struggles to balance humor and sentiment, leaving it feeling neither impactful nor cohesive.
Verdict: A promising story with Jayam Ravi’s strong performance, but lacks impact due to weak writing and inconsistent tone.
