'Brothers': Action Packed Family Saga

Jackie Shroff with his rugged, unkempt look oscillates between the alcoholic to a sober and emotionally-wrought father with ease. He lives the role of Garry, who is pining for his son's love and forgiveness.

Of the supporting cast, Jacqueline Fernandez as Jenny, David's wife and Shefali Shah as Maria, Garry's wife, essay their respective roles brilliantly. In fact Shefali Shah is outstanding in the scene where she loses her composure and confronts her drunk husband.

Ashutosh Rana as the mercenary fighting agent, Pasha, looks fresh and energetic. He emotes effectively with his kohl-rimmed eyes. Kiran Kumar as Peter Braganza with his silver-streaked hair looks every inch the character he plays.

Raj Zutshi and Kavi Shastri make an excellent pair as commentators. They mouth their well-written lines during the finale with aplomb. Kulbhushan Kharbanda as the school principal, Shobit Desai is wasted. And, the glamourous Kareena Kapoor in the item number, "Mera naam Mary hai" is enticing enough, but unfortunately fails to make an impression, as the dance is poorly choreographed.

With ace production values, the film is mounted as an epic blockbuster with fine craftsmanship. The camera-work, sound and editing is par-excellence. And, the spine-chilling action sequences are well-coordinated.

While the story is credited to Gavin O'Connor and Cliff Dorfman, it is adapted by director Karan Malhotra and Ekta Pathak. There is a feeling of deja vu with the characters, the setting and scenes. They seem to be inspired by many Hollywood and Hindi films. Case in point is the street-fighting scenes which were recently witnessed in Anuraag Kashyap's "Bombay Velvet".

Overall, "Brothers" is a well-made emotional drama worth a dekho for the paisa-vasool fight sequences.
