Bhaiyya Ji

Bhaiyya Ji staring Manoj Bajpayee is the weakest movie of him I have seen in recent years. No questions on his acting skills but poor editing,direction and execution has made the film weak. Without the background story of the character i.e Bhaiyya ji his fear seems exaggerated and over-hyped. During fight sequences also I felt some scenes are illogical which I won't expect from MB. Why Bhaiyya ji's younger brother showed as step brother is also not understandable? Real brother and mother would have made his pain more authentic. Also missed good background score and music in the film which can make it more powerful.

Only watched it because of Manoj Bajpayee, and can say it is his worst movie ever. Have big respect for him and I really hope he doesn't do a similar one again. Very weak story, BAD action, weak plots. Very poorly directed movie, the way different scenes are connected they just don't carry any meaning and seem to be added just randomly. The start of movie is the only part that is somewhat good but then the rest of the story is a total disaster. They keep creating hype of Bhaiyya jee as a character but the way it is portrayed in the movie it does not come out the way it should - not even close. It was a total torture to watch this movie. Pleas avoid if you can.

The utter stupidity being incarnated from what could have been the origin of one fantastic characters own trilogy is just disappointing. The movie lacks story, plot, logic, physics and meaning.

Don't get me wrong, now the movie started off brilliantly, in a brief scene building up a revenge story. Not wasting too much time on the cause, the narrative is quickly shifted towards the protagonist who is given great reason to go against some restrictions he had kept for himself.

The movie definitely seems to have taken inspiration from John Wick, but had enough going to make it seem original.

The dialogues were just brilliant and delivered with such grace and emotion. The actors did a great job as well, perfectly portraying the intended emotion per scene and kewpie invested. Even the cinematography was fantastic for some scenes. Where the movie went for a toss however was when the director of the movie decided to direct the movie. Good lord, there were soo many slow motion scenes in the movie, you could watch the movie in 4x speed and still not miss a thing. Unrealistic scenarios were the biggest problem. The director just did not know how to stitch scenes and make sense of a situation. This led to characters resorting to random actions and sequences just so that the story could make sense. You start wondering how a character is teleporting to various areas just for the convenience of the plot.

The antagonist had countless opportunities to kill the hero, but of course he wouldn't given the impenetrable plot armour of the hero. I could narrate each scene which anchored my interest, but that would be me telling the whole story... Would only recommend the movie to witness some great acting by Manoj, otherwise...

This is incorrectly named as Bhaiya ji but while watching the movie it gave me the feeling of like I am watching a South Indian movie. As usual no plot no screenplay no real story only dramatized music and violence. Right from the beginning it feels like watching heightened sense of proudy and rowdy villain and powerful hero. They fight eachother and there cat mouse situation sometimes hero is on top sometimes villain is on top and eventually as it happens hero wins in the end. Even the selection of music is highly influenced by south indian movies. More like Pushpa or Bahubali. Anyways whatever I felt I have mentioned rest is your own judgement.

This type of revenge stories has been viewed dozens of times since 80s, so nothing new. A power crazy Bahubali and his violent prone son doing harm to the hero's family member, awakening a retired Bahubali to avenge the wrong. This kind of movie is not suited to an actor of Manoj Bajpai's caliber. The slow motion single handed fighting effect, leaping great distance in a single bound seen in numerous Sunny Deol/Salman Khan or south indian type masala films. Usually the hero facing adversity, is isolated and supposedly weaker than the villain, you than have the thrill of a David vs Goliath battle. Here it seems the hero has lots of support from all around so he is by no means the proverbial underdog.

Talk about a miscast. The main villain looked like somebody's munimji close to retiring from his job. No personality whatsoever. There was no build up of his character either to portray his power, just the standard violence that comes with a gangster movie. So, it felt like you are in the middle of the story right from the beginning. Dialogues were pedestrian at best. In short, run of the mill masala film without the mainstream star cast.
