As with every movie, it's Pawan Kalyan's one man show all the way. Except for his antics and those vintage avatars, there's nothing much to write about.

Sai Tej looks bloated, physically restrained and acting wise, out of depth, so many scenes with lip sync issues, bad performance. Rest of the cast are just generic and stereotypical.

Technically, cinematography by Sujith Vaassudev is good, but letdown by some tacky VFX, editing by Naveen Nooli is okayish, should have trimmed few portions, Thaman's music is disappointing, the songs just act as speed breakers, though the BGM is decent.

Writing by Trivikram is subpar, there's good story at hands, only to be marred by half-baked screenplay.

Direction by Samuthirakani is average, focussing more on PK, he fails to handle the emotional aspects.

Bottom-line: mini meals for Fans, just okayish for others.

I had decent amount of hopes when this film came out. The moment it came out on ott, I watched it, this movie is a huge letdown to me.

The only pro in this movie was: Pawan Kalyan's superb acting in his role

But other than that... -This movie is very slow -Dialogues were below average -The ending feeling like another 2-hour add-on to the film -This movie is simply just overrated because PSPK was in it

People who worked in this film got a huge degrade, especially the big actors and Trivikram (a famous director).

I don't know why Simuthirakani decided to make a remake of his movie Vinodhaya Sitham when it was already enough for us, it was just a waste of good acting and time.

Finally, please do not waste your time watching this movie, it really isn't worth it.

Bro is an amazing film! Simple perspective of life & death cycle, Bhagavat Geetha, beauty of Santana Dharma. Triambakam slokam, Hari OM & RAMA - begin n end, selfishness n sacrifice, duty n bonds for all things in life the driver is Paramatma not us. Messages hidden but subtle, deep thoughts of the story writer's plot & creativity is inexplicable. Direction is well thought off, BGM Thaman carried the film in most scenes, songs were just great fun to watch. PK's film presence is just mesmerizing.

Enjoyed every moment in the film.

There were a lot of old Pawan Kalyan reminiscing moments, a lot of elevation and fan moments. It's a visual treat to fans, emotional roller coaster kind of film. Each sequence had a hidden inner meaning. Meme content also available with political overtones in some places. Total fun fanfare

God= #PawanaKalyan #fanfare #SaiDharamTej #BRO.

Bro is a 2023 Telugu film starring Pawan Kalyan, Sai Dharam Tej, kethika Sharma, Rohini and many others, directed by Samuthirakani. The movie is a remake ofTamil film named 'Vinodhaya sitham'. Which is directed by Samuthirakani himself.

The movie starts with the presence of Sai Dharam Tej, who is playing the role of Markandeya, a manager in a textile industry.

Markandeya aka mark always runs behind the time, the time is his daily dose of energy, he wants everything to be done prior. Mark is the only source of income for his family, and these qualities makes him a boomer. While returning from Vizag to Hyderabad by road, he meets with an accident and dies on the spot. This leads meet up with the God of Time ( pawan Kalyan). Mark is given a chance of 90 days to spend his last days with his family. And to take care of his responsibilities.

What all things he can manage in this period and the lessons he learnt during this is the story . Obviously, the self - realisation plays a crucial part in the story. As the time is his sole priority.

The movie's duration is 2hrs and 10 mins and in this period, one thing needs to be praised is the presentation of characters and their impact. Everyone were given equal importance. Pawan Kalyan's acting energises the screen. The way he guides mark, shown very properly. But, in order to bring the vintage kalyan vibes, all the makers can do is to add his previous movie's songs and make people cheer to it. If this is what expected by the title vintage, it would be better to re-release all his movies. The movie is filled with his references. These references aren't a part of the plot, the plot is a part in these references, ( to be noted). It even reduces the energy of the music composer to compose songs. These are just meant for his fans. Others can't enjoy the ride. No importance were given to emotions in the first half . And coming to the interval sequence, it was good, but, it didnt make me await for the later half. However, the interval shot is kind of a god level stuff.

The second half, is completely plot driven, it builds an emotion between the family. Family problems occur in this period and gets covered or solved within a moment. And these parts were shot rushed and runny. Overall, everything gets resolved and creates an emotional ending

The direction is one of the good things in this film. Dir. Samuthirakani handled the plot himself and presented it in a delicate manner. Sai Tej's performance wasn't as engaging as his other movies does.

The sister's roles were just to carry the emotions and they hardly generate gags in few scenes

Pawan Kalyan's political punches and references are enjoyable to few. But the emotions can be seen and carried by everyone. His costumes brightens the screen.kudos to Neeta Lulla.

The lead actress's Ketika Sharma role was not at all fit to plot and the bonding between Tej and Ketika was too filmy.

Thaman's compositions fell flat except the bro anthem.

Trivikram's involvement makes no change in the screenplay or in the dialogues. The dialogues weren't of his level. Basically, his touch went invisible.

Music and dialogues were the drawbacks of the film.

Overall, it's a Pawan Kalyan's show and the other characters are the puppets played in his order.its supposed to be watched with family. The family audience might get connected to this emotional entertainer. But didn't serve me this time. Of course, knowing that it's a remake of a straight ott film, it gives the same vibes. The soul of the original missed in this . Yet all I can say at the end is, It's just for the hardcore fans and the families.

Movie explanation was very different from the remake of Tamil movie it's added to sumBro (stylized as BRO) (meaning: Brother) is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Samuthirakani, from a screenplay by Trivikram Srinivas. Produced under People Media Factory and Zee Studios, Bro is a remake of Samuthirakani's own Tamil film, Vinodhaya Sitham (2021). It stars Pawan Kalyan, Sai Dharam Tej, Priya Prakash Varrier, Ketika Sharma, Brahmanandam and Subbaraju. Of Pawan Kalyan songs and to entertain audience but not effect to movie so movie story was so excellent 👌. Movie rating was 10/10.

In the realm of Telugu cinema, Pawan Kalyan has long held a prominent place, known for his charismatic screen presence and powerful performances. However, his latest venture, "Bro," fails to live up to the standards that fans and critics alike have come to expect. With poor direction and a disjointed plot, this film is a disheartening addition to his filmography.

At its core, a film's success lies in its ability to captivate the audience with a compelling story. Unfortunately, "Bro" falters in this department. The narrative lacks coherence, leaving viewers struggling to piece together the fragments of a plot that seems to have lost its way. The lack of a clear direction is evident, and audiences are left feeling disconnected from the story's unfolding events. Without a strong foundation, the film becomes a mere sequence of scenes, failing to build the emotional engagement that is essential for a memorable cinematic experience.

One of the most disappointing aspects of "Bro" is its poor direction. A film is a collaborative effort, and the director plays a crucial role in bringing the vision to life. In this case, the director's choices hinder rather than enhance the storytelling. Scenes lack fluidity, transitions feel abrupt, and character motivations remain unexplored. Pawan Kalyan, a seasoned actor with immense potential, is sadly let down by the direction, resulting in a performance that feels lackluster and uninspired. The film fails to tap into his capabilities, leaving him struggling to make an impact in a narrative that never quite finds its rhythm.

Beyond the narrative and direction, the film's production quality also raises concerns. Subpar cinematography and editing further contribute to the overall disappointment. Visual storytelling is an integral part of cinema, and in "Bro," it falls short of creating a captivating visual experience. Lack of attention to detail is evident in the execution of scenes, making it difficult for viewers to immerse themselves in the world of the film. Moreover, the editing fails to salvage the disjointed narrative, resulting in a pacing that feels uneven and disjointed.

While every film has its strengths and weaknesses, "Bro" unfortunately leans heavily toward the latter. The potential of a talented cast is squandered by the lack of a cohesive narrative, leaving characters underdeveloped and their interactions devoid of depth. The film's inability to engage viewers or provide a meaningful cinematic experience is a major setback, especially considering the anticipation that usually surrounds Pawan Kalyan's projects.

In the world of cinema, criticism is not meant to undermine the efforts of the creators but rather to provide constructive feedback for improvement. "Bro" serves as a reminder that even established names in the industry can stumble. While the intention might have been to deliver a gripping story with powerful performances, the final product falls short. With a more focused direction, a well-crafted narrative, and attention to visual storytelling, "Bro" could have been a memorable addition to Pawan Kalyan's filmography.

In conclusion, "Bro" is a disappointing cinematic endeavor that struggles to find its footing. Poor direction, a disjointed plot, and underdeveloped characters contribute to a lackluster viewing experience. While Pawan Kalyan's involvement generated anticipation, the film ultimately fails to harness his potential and deliver a meaningful narrative. As audiences, we hope for future projects that can effectively utilize his talents and provide a more engaging and cohesive cinematic journey.

Pavan kalyan introduction is good and tej action is also good. No content in the movie. Felt bored watching movie.

I never been felt bored in the movie theater that too pavan kalyan movie.

Expected some different subject from samudrakani gaaru. 1st Half movie is fully concentrated on introducing and hyping pavan kalyan gaaru. But any ways 2nd half have shown some interest to sit in the movie theater. 🎬

This is my perception and my feeling in movie theater.every one will have there own perception.

Highlights: Pavan kalyan Gaaru , Bramhanandam Gaaru, Tej.

Drawback: Lack of proper story and character of heroine and love story.

Fantastic movie. Perfectly balanced both characters according to the nativity. The cinematography is excellent. Thaman is the backbone of the film. Trivikram made well changes to the script. Production values are top-notch. Comedy and emotions worked well. I'm pretty sure you'll definitely enjoy the film. Go watch with your family. And also we can see the vintage Power star Swag, and the BGM for this movie is totally awesome, credits to Thaman. Some scenes is with bad VFX should have improved more. Credits to Samuthirakani garu, Trivikram garu, Thaman bro, and our special guest role "Brahmanandam garu" and all the team for making this movie so good. And the performance of our start Pawan Kalyan garu and Sai Tej garu is top notch. A great movie to watch.

"Bro" is a legit redo of the Tamil flick "Vinodhaya Sitham." But, let me tell ya, the changes suggested by that idiot Guruji are seriously lame, man. The screenplay got tweaked too, with some silly and cheap masala stuff thrown in, which is just meh.

The characters might've been a bit silly in the original, but in this remake, they're downright foolish, ya know? The first half kinda keeps ya interested, but the second half? Boring as hell and way too long, dude.

Sai Dharam Tej tried his best, but it didn't hit the bullseye. Pawan Kalyan looks stylish, but let's be real, his acting skills ain't that great.

Don't even get me started on Ketika. Bramhanandam deserved better.

Some of Pawan Kalyan's costumes are cool, some are just blah. The songs suck, and the background score's alright in a few scenes.

The cinematography's decent, I guess. But man, Samudrakhani's direction feels hella clumsy and too influenced by Guruji.

I'd say skip this flick, but if you really wanna see it, just wait for the OTT release, bro.

BRO film has been adapted from a Tamil film called 'Vinodhaya Sitham'. Directed by the same director Samuthirakani, who handled the original, this Telugu film 'BRO' outcome is a mixed bag. To improvise the film on the commercial front, the Telugu version team has overly dependent on power star pawan kalyan's charismatic past. The writing team has compiled all Pawan Kalyan hit songs, and inserted them throughout the film sometimes perfectly syncs with the context, sometimes forcibly. In the first half the theme worked out and appeared entertaining. Pawan Kalyan as TIME shows up in various characters and entertains fans. His costumes and histrionics are of his top-class form. The subtle political flavor dialogues are smartly embedded without being out of place.

Positives:

Pawan Kalyan Screen Presence Pawan Hit Songs as a backdrop to a few scenes.

Entertainment in the First half Crisp Run Time

Negatives :

Shallow story Overstuffed fans elements The original story lost its flavor.

BRO gives nostalgic moments. It has comedy, friendship and a beautiful love story..complete family packed entertainer.,What a fantastic movie in multiple aspects - the narration, the social message, screenplay, colorful cinematography, soulful music and detailing of each and every small aspect. At the end it also shares a great message..with an outstanding climax. Beautiful script, apt casting and brilliant acting makes it a delight to watch.,Please don't miss it. This is a must watch movie. Kudos to the team "BRO" for giving such a good movie. Overall it's an outstanding one..My rating is 10/10.,Good movie with that beautiful mangalore vibes and a nostalgic feel in every bit of movie . Songs are just mesmerising with a creative magic of a musician, my kids and family just loved the movie.

Music, lyrics by Thaman very well composed and written And the songs are very melodious.,I sincerely thank and congratulate the Director, producer and all the actors. Nice movie request the whole team to market it positively and strongly.,Kudos to the entire team.

This Telugu remake of Samuthirakani's Vinodhaya Sitham, adapted to screen by Trivikram keeps the sweet message intact but misses out on the specifics in it's attempt to glorify the Powerstar. Markandeyulu aka Mark, is trying hard to run the family with an iron fist and get his sisters settled in life which he deems to be good for them. A fatal accident, pitches him against Time himself who gives him a second chance at making this right with a deadline of 90 days.

The original had an aged Thambi Ramaiah getting the second chance and somehow it is easier to connect with his story. Here, Mark is too young to join a company and within 8 years raise upto the level of GM or even MD of the company. It is this age factor alone makes it hard to relate to him trying to control all his siblings and their lives. Bringing in Pawan Kalyan as the Time, in a role Samuthirakani had played subtly. That very subtlety is stripped off and in the attempt to do ultimate fan service, the random addition of Pawan Kalyan's songs don't gel well with the film's narrative.

Sure, there are quire a few sermons the Time provides but none leave a mark. The songs are below the mark as well. The key scene of Mark's outburst at the pub is undermined with a song and the forced action scene doesn't offer much. There is a certain expectation when the dialogues are from Trivikram but he doesn't live upto the expectation. The effort that went in adapting the simple Tamil story, loses it's essence over commercializing it.

As usual, PK movie where the importance is given to hero but not to the story. Story concept is very nice, but story is kept a side. First 10 mins and last 15 mins is enough to watch the concept.

BRO movie creates a deep thoughts in our minds about the purpose of our life. The story is well narrated. The director explained the life and death cycle in a very modern and practical way. Our life is defined by time we spent with things, relations, desires, emotions, thoughts, that was well portrayed. Sai Tej's acting was so natural and audience can relate to him by his character. BGM is life to the movie, it gives you goosebumps There are some masala added elements like songs and PK'S legacy carrying songs for PK fans but well balanced. Family sentiments stood as one of the pillars for movie. Its a family watch movie.

WORTH WATCHING THIS MOVIE IN THEATRE.

One of the best movies in recent times with a great underlying message about facts of life. Pawan Kalyan has superbly portrayed the role of time with ease and given his fans moments to enjoy with nostalgic songs of his old movies......................... His mannerisms enthrall his fans the best. The climax followed by the song actually made a lot of sense than it did in the whole movie. The life lessons taught by Titan in the climax and the message asking everyone to accept life as it comes are conveyed well. Overall, BRO has a good storyline, with great weak narrative does not let it becomes great. BRO makes a good watch for Pawan Kalyan's fans will attract family audiences for the major part!!!!
