How can someone create a film like this one, it's a total cringe package. Salman Khan is at least not as bad as these so called directors are maligning his image. It's a total disaster. The editing is really bad, it seems like I've literally seen a dubbed movie, dubbing is really bad.

First half of the movie is really irrational and disgusting, screenplay is lengthy for this pathetic script. It seems like they have written this movie in a one drunk night out. Music of this movie is also bad, they have just wasted money on this kind of music. Background score is good but it was not meant for this movie.

Just watch it once, if you are only watching for Salman Khan. Believe me it's the bad movie of Salman Khan throughout his entire career.

Rating 4/10, only for some side role actors.

The movie started with decent pace but turned out to be repetitive and boring .

Bollywood needs to stop copying and remaking South Indian movies.

Salman has grown old and same is evident from the movie.

The movie is clean and watchable with family and that's all good about it.

Rest the story is weak and has various boring elements.the actors from South did played their character well but the story amd script being weak..couldn't save the sinking ship

The movie will drip and would be an average rated movie eventually.

The movie is one time watch but would not be likeable by everyone.

Songs are average and nothing to buzz about.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) : Movie Review -

Salman Khan is back at his favourite festival (Eid) to rock the box office with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Let's be practical for a moment and talk about a few of his last Eid releases. Radhe (saved by OTT), Bharat, Race 3, and Tubelight-it's been 4 Eids since we got a good film from Salman bhai. It all started with Wanted (2009), and then Dabangg (2010) just made it bigger. Besides the box office, these two films were loved by audiences and have been repeatedly watched on TV over the years. Then came average flicks like Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, and Kick-but none of them were, like, too bad. Bajrangi Bhaijaan went on to become Salman's biggest hit since HAHK (1994), and deservingly so, and Sultan was the last Eid release of Salman Khan that actually exploded at the box office. Just like the last 4 Eid releases, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan also disappoints, but the bigger problem is the film coming at the wrong time-post-pandemic and boycott trends making it difficult for Bollywood films. Salman fans had trended against Dabangg 3, yet the film was made, and we all know the box office results. The same die-hard fans once trended against KEKD (the tentative title back then), and now we have the film releasing today. Unfortunately, I think the fate of the film was sealed by fans even before it was made. I'll be happy if the film works, which seems difficult, but yes, I'll be happy for the team. But seriously, this needs to stop at once. A superstar like Salman Khan and his crazy fans deserve better. If not classics, then at least good crowd-pleasing entertainers.

Inspired by a cringe flick Veeram (2014), Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is about Bhaijaan (Salman Khan) and his three brothers, Ishq (Raghav Juyal), Moh (Siddharth Nigam), and Love (Jassie Gill). They are all orphans, but Bhaijaan gave them shelter and loved them more than any biological brother. These three fall in love with three girls and want to marry, but since Bhaijaan is unmarried because of them, ultimately they can't marry. So, they plan to bring the lost love of his life back, which has a surprising and nostalgic cameo. However, it doesn't work, but then God sends a replacement, Bhagya (Pooja Hegde). Three brothers, their three girlfriends, and three aids around them try to set things up between Bhaijaan and Bhagya. But their mill-of-the-run love story has an angle-Bhagya's elder brother Annayya (Vekatesh) is a non-violent person, whereas the love of her life, aka her Jaan, is a hardcore violent man. Will Bhagya's family accept Bhaijaan since he has to be violent to save the family?

The screenplay of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is similar to Veeram. Frankly speaking, Veeram is an unbearable film-even for its time (2014). It's just so outdated. Can somebody think of remaking the outdated film after almost a decade? Time doesn't stop for anyone. Haven't we seen this formula in classics like Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and "Godfather" (1991)-and its remakes, and many more other films? That's the major reason why both remakes of Veeram flopped at the box office (KKBKKJ is the third). Farhad Samji, Sparsh Khetarpal, and Tasha Bhambra took everything from the cringe classic and then tried to give it a new twist in the end, but it was too late by then. The dialogues are irritating as hell. It's just getting worse after Race 3 and Radhe for Salman Khan fans. I mean, I can't believe that from Wanted's "Ek Baar Maine Commitment Kar Di," Dabangg's "Hum Yaha ke Robinhood Hai," Bodyguard's "Mujhpar Ek Ehsaan Karna," Kick's "Mere bare mein itna mat sochna," to many others, they have to tolerate this. I mean, who the hell translates Maathafodi to "brainstorming"? "Begaani shaadi me abdulla dewaana" phrase is turned into "Bhaijaan ki shaadi me Ram Deewana"? Lol. Pooja calling Salman Jaan can be understood, but her grandmother calls him Jaam too. Seriously? Vande Mataram felt so irritating for the first time, all thanks to this film. Who approved these things on paper? Even the burned copies of KKBKKJ's screenplay and dialogues shouldn't be allowed inside the SKF office. I may sound brutal here, but it's all for their own good. I hope the next films of SKF will deliver the kind of content they delivered with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and then I'll have only good things to write about.

Talking about performances, that Salman Khan we saw in Wanted, Dabangg, BB and Sultan seems a little lost nowadays. He has three looks in the film, and he makes sure he looks dashing in every single one. Girls can go crazy over his head scarf, biceps in a half tee, long hair, trimmed beard, and clean-shaven look, while boys can either feel a male crush or feel jealous. But what about delivering as an actor? In a couple of scenes, he suddenly starts crying, and you have no idea what's going on. I am not sure whom to blame for that. The writer, the director, or Salman Khan. Pooja Hegde is getting on everyone's nerves nowadays. Salman's films have always been sophisticated and clean, but in this film, you'll see one character go abusive, and that's Pooja Hegde. Radhe Shyam, Beast, Acharya, Cirkus, and now KKBKKJ. She is going through the worst phase of her career, and that's understandable, but how can she get worse and worse with every new film? If Corona can stop after three waves, then this needs to stop after 5 attacks now. Jagapathi Babu is overloud, Vijender Singh is wasted, Satish Kaushik brings nothing new except for a sentimental pleasure, Asif Sheikh passes the screen frequently, and Venkatesh literally has a tepid role. I couldn't bear seeing cute young boys like Siddhart Nigam, Raghav Juyal, and Jassie Gill fighting like rowdys, and their girlfriends, Palak Tiwari, Shehnaaz Gill, and Vinali Bhatnagar, are best suited for daily soaps with one or two dialogue they have.

The music is good here. Naiyo Lagda, Billi Billi, and Yentamma look good and sound nice to the ears. However, it's just too much oil for fritters. As mentioned before, the screenplay is boring, and then there are 6-7 songs to make it more boring and lengthy. It's like having multiple intermissions for one film because people were going out to take a break while songs were playing. The photography is strictly average, while the action sequences are well executed, especially the climax fight sequence. Farhad Samji's direction is the biggest weakness of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. He may be a good writer, or rather, I'd say he is a good writer, but direction? Sorry boss. Stop taking audiences for granted. Housefull 4 was saved by franchise value and the genre; Bachchhan Paandey received what was due; Pop Kaun has been slammed right, left, up, and down; and now he played with feelings of the "BHAIJAAN" word. Salman fans will never forgive him, and neither will neutral moviegoers. Kisi ka script, kisi ka production, kyu barbaad karne ka?

RATING - 4/10*

Why seflun bhai, why?

This movie will give you headache in your liver and heartattack in your brain. Forget the logic, i want sefloon bhai to go back in time and slap Newton for discovering gravity, 'cause here he nothing but rock bed with it. And my god bhai's rabid fan base. They would watch such films 4-5 times and but won't donate that money to charity.

To those who want see the movie, its not bhai, you will be the responsible for downfall of your brain. And those who have already seen it, you deserve such faecal matter. You're the reason for the backwardness of the Indian cinema.

BTW all hail to TELEGRAM. I didn't waste my money. No one should.

I had high expectations for this movie, but it was very disappointing. Predictable plot line, mediocre acting, and very slow pace. I understand that Salman Khan likes to make "mindless" family fun movies, however this takes the cringe to a whole new level. The plot was all over the place. Pretty much the typical boy meets girl love story, however some goons are after the girl that Salman has to fight off. However the pace is incredibly slow, anyone who is able to keep up should receive a medal.

It seemed as if none of the actors and producers actually wanted to make this movie, and as if they were being forced to act in the movie.

Why do we still support movies like these when Indian Cinema has such great potential? The mindlessness and cringe was off the charts. We need to stop supporting movies like this so that they don't take the audience for granted.

Rajma on banana leaf doesn't work.

Grandpa doesn't suits as hero now.

No script over acting action scene.

Another worst movie flop by Pooja and salmon bhoi.

It's one of those occasions when you don't look for the names of the story or screenplay writer.

Not even a refreshingly new character or situation. That's the outcome when Hindiwalas look at the south that's winning at the box-office and attempt to merge the two cultures. Why it boomerangs is because director Farhad Samji doesn't get it - that the south is winning because they slog on a story and screenplay and not by stitching together different cultures to spout.

Bollywood lacks originality and creativity that should be no secret now. It is surviving on remakes and star power of the so called superstars.

This movie is no different, it is remake of Veeram and tries to bank on Salman Khan's star power to pull the audience without thinking about story and character development.

Movie looks like from 80's and to show Salman is Mega Star, he is shown as A to Z of the movie, and ironically it's not the audience who whistles on his entry but the junior actors working along side him who whistles and they have give been the role to just chant Bhai-Jan, Bhai-Jan in the entire movie.

Salman, like Bollywood is falling from the grace by choosing to make remakes and not to work on original scripts.

And Farhad Samji, he is not a director and after hearing he will be directing Hera Pheri 3, I am worried about the movie.

This movie is one heck of nearly 3 hours long banal and boring affair which tries to make north meet south but fails in every aspect.

Concluding words of Salman as Bhai-Jan in the movie is something like 'Done to Death' exactly my thoughts about the movie.

In one way I would like to say if some movie is already made. Three times in South India, in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada language, that same story again you will be remade in Hindi Language by calling as Bollywood Film.

It's the biggest foolish thing done by Salman Khan.

Maybe he was thinking that I would add south Indian flavor in Bolleywood film and all India will Watch this film by considering it a good Film made by Bhaijaan Salman Khan.

If the film's story and content is not good, then, no one can save that film. Even BiG Star's Like Ram Charn Teja or Venkatesh or Salman Khan also, can not, Sustain in a BOX OFFICE.

Sometimes intelligent people are doing follies things that same activity done by Bhaijaan Salman Khan.

As you know, this film was originally made in Tamil Language in the year 2014, film's name is "Veeram", Superstar Ajith Kumar as the Lead Actor and that is Blockbuster at the box office.

After 3 years. This same story was remade in Telugu Language in year 2017, film's name is 'Katamarayudu', Power Star Pawan Kalyan as Lead Actor and that Film was a disaster at the box office.

Again, after 2 years. This same story was remade in Kannada Language in the year 2019, film's name is "Odeya", Challenging Star Darshan as Lead Actor and It was a box office bomb.

Once Again, after 4 years in 2023, How can Bhaijaan Salman Khan think that same story remade in Bollywood, which is Twice Biggest Flop in Tellugu and Kannada Language. Already all Indians have watched this story Tamil, Telugu, Kannada Language Films in Hindi Dubbed Version, and you can imagine that same story as how people will watch it again in the theatre. Nothing is new or different in the story.

ONLY A FOOL CAN MADE THIS OLD STORY BASED FILM ON THE BUDGET OF INDIAN RUPEE 150 CRORE

NO ONE WILL LIKE TO WATCH "KISI KA BHAI KISI KA JAAN".

Just don't make such movies! Give cinema space to more deserving content and spend time & money in find writers & directors.

Don't use ChatGPT for movie scripts, give talented people more chances.

This movie is very very bad, no story, not even a proper remake, just see the lead actor's age and what is he doing in the whole movie!!

One can easily predict what will be next scene...fight or song ... fight or song!

We have synch good hard working people in industry give them chance and Create a meaningful cinema so that everyone can enjoy & appreciate!

I will not recommend you to waste your time on this movie.

I have watch and its me feel boring and funniest. It is the remake of Veeram (2014) and story is adapting and also give big hand to the makers and over all team to make #bakwas movie to waste time and money of public.

Veeram (2014) is that movie to entertain and good according to time , location is perfect and supporting actor give their best effort.

But in this movie salman try to copy of Ajit and his acting is not good as people think and believe in him , Location is not properly justifiable and story is much old to the current situation. VFX and action is not looks realistic and over acting ragav and other actor. It affect to the career of other supporting actors.

Waste of money. Please don't watch it with your hard earned money. I would even say don't watch it don't watch it even on OTT.

If the story and content of the movie are poor, nobody can save it. Even big stars like Venkatesh, Salman Khan, or Ram Charan Teja are unable to maintain a BOX OFFICE.

Sometimes smart individuals make foolish decisions, much like Bhaijaan Salman Khan did.

You may be aware that this movie, titled "Veeram," was first produced in the Tamil language in 2014. It had Superstar Ajith Kumar as the lead actor and was a box office smash.

3 years later. The same narrative was remade in Telugu in 2017, the film's name is "Katamarayudu," and it stars Power Star Pawan Kalyan. However, the film bombed at the box office.

Again, two years later. This.

You know what could be a better utilization of your time, staring contest with that gecko on the ceiling. There movie is a certified trash, dialogues - dull, acting - annoying, songs - soul destroying, action - repetitive, story - was there one? Time spent in reading this review should be more than what this film deserves.

And just in case Salmon Bhoi wants to make more remakes, I would suggest him to remake Andaz Apna Apna or may be work on its sequel. After all if he can collaborate with SRK, why not Aamir.

And if you are reading this review after finishing the movie, may God be your savior.

Nice and enjoyable movie that can be enjoyed on the big screen with friends and family .. Salman Khan was very good in the film and Pooja Hegde deserves praise for the part she played .. Venkatesh sir was good as well .. Jagapathi Babu's villainous expressions looked menacing .. Direction should have been better in some scenes .. the action scenes in the film are very good .. Salman Khan deserves credit for having the guts to work with so many new and inexperienced actors and carrying the film on his shoulders.

A good and entertaining movie that should be enjoyed on the big screen .. enjoy the eid festival.

This is a decent film to watch. You can definitely watch it with your family and they will also like it. This movie is not great but according to me if you enjoy south indian movies then you will enjoy this movie too. Dialogues could have been better. Action Scenes are good in this movie. I also liked the climax and especially a scene in the climax of Duggubati Venkatesh, it will be a spoiler, so I am not telling. Salman Khan is also doing well. But the acting of the main villain Vijender Singh was not good. On the other hand, Jagapati Babu, the second villain of this film, is good as it happens in his other films. Remaining supporting cast also does their job. I just didn't like the dialogue and the main villain. In my area the theater is 80-90 percent full. Overall, this film is not a great film for me, but it is not so bad that you do not watch it.

Another disaster by SKF. I think Salman needs to hire a group of experts to tell him what kind of movies he should be making. Which roles would suit him. What type of stories would look genuine. Seems he is misled by a chaaploos groups of people around him who keep telling him that movies will go on to be hit just by your name. An extraordinarily boring story, absolute fake looking characters, senseless script and screenplay. Most part of movie didn't make any sense at all. I wonder do they actually read the story and script before deciding to invest or they just start making the movie without any research and assessment. It looks like Salman's team is too scared to tell him that he is not looking good in the scenes or his look is completely fake and he should rework on acting or performance and they just keep making the movie. Which is building an absolutely poor image of Salman.it may be better to invest in new actors team to produce better movies.

In the days when OTT platforms are giving us true entertainers like Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and Gulmohar, the producers are aiming at filling their pockets in box office with just the presence of 'megastars' like Salman Khan. Creativity, originality, good music, good script, entertainment, you ask for it. You won't find any of these things in the movie.

It's not a secret that KKBKKJ is a remake of Tamil film Veeram. The makers tried to capitalize on just the name of Salman Khan. The movie will make tons of money nonetheless. If you are someone who actually cares for quality content and want value out of your money, AVOID this movie. And if your time is precious too, avoid this even when it releases on OTT platforms later.

The movie is a pathetic attempt to give Salman Khan a movie like SRK's Pathaan which was a box office blockbuster. Salman should now take retirement and make space for actual talented actors, scriptwriters and directors. As long as movies continue to be watched due to presence of a particular name, the new era of Bollywood which is marked by quality and creativity will wash out soon.

This movie is recommended only to people who have insomnia, or are just too happy with their life choices and need a change. For normal people, it's a big NO NO.

Worst movie of Salman Khan. Watched the movie in US with family and got big headache. No acting, no story, no comedy, nothing. Just a waste of money.

Just a crap full of star cast.

Salman Bhai plz stop making nonsense. You don't have to make a movie just because you have to release something every Eid.

It feels like you promised favor to all your friends and made this movie to make them happy. Please think about millions of fans and movie audience who love your real work and movie.

Please do retrospection and stop making nonsensical movies else people will stop watching your movies.

Indian Audiences have awaken and they know what a good movie is.

Even with so many stars packed the story is pathetic, Salman's acting is pathetic. Don't know any other style of acting It's copy paste since the days of ready What a waste.

Songs aren't catchy Actress are just glad they are working in a Bhoi movie Side actors did a decent job The story line is sloppy There's no sense in how the story builds up We have to just assume this are happening randomly Take a paracetamol tablet before entering the there and another one after coming out Drink a double coffee shot or large cup tea to keep your brain active and be connected in the theatre or else enjoy the loud background noise ac sleep.

Salman has to be messing around with indian audience. This must be a prank or a joke. He must have lost a bet. This can't be real. Any Salman fan that defends this just proves everyone's point of level of a Salman Khan fans education. Salman has become the character of Naseerudin shah in Dirty picture, Om puri in King of Bollywood or Navin Niscol in Bollywood calling. Playing BF to girls he should be playing father to while ex heroine of his like Bhumika who is 20 years is junior playing his older Bhabi in law? I hated films like bodyguard and kick but they atleast at stories. Pathetic. Embarrassing.

This film would mark the beginning of End of salmon bhoy.

For years, he has survived on his fan base. For years, he managed to survive on zero acting skill, doing action via stunt double, minimal effort on dancing with a likable hook step, romancing with youngest possible actress, speaking in same fake accent. But now, this won't pull audience to the theatre.

Plus, I want someone to answer me. Why is Farhad Samji even getting any film to direct? What leverage does he have over producers that he gets to direct big star cast with zero outcomes? Afterall, it requires talent to tank a movie which was already a hit in south India.

Unexpectedly the film turned out to be so good... everyone who were casted in the film has portrayed their characters extremely well..This movie is a mixed genres of a bit of comedy, laughter, emotions, love and action. And the hero and bhaijaan of the nation (Salman Khan)'s actions, stunts,looks surreal and magnificent...He is a man who've mastered in the movie through his action stunts,punches dialogue delivery, gestures that makes every scene interesting and keeps the audiences in suspense and truly a romantic man/ hero who can romance everyone with his soft spoken voice that will make everyone fall in love with his personality. As the movie title says Kisi ka bhai kisi ka jaan... Salman is truly a nation's hero and love. The songs and dances were good too but the choreography could have been much better but it's okay doesn't matter since the good looking hero covered it up extremely well with his charming looks and the other heroes and heroines were the perfect cast to be paired opposite.

The movie wasn't worth our time due to

1. No effort to have a proper story or screen play. This perhaps is the biggest drawback.

2. Every scene is what we have seen in multiple Salman Khan movies or other action movies.

3. All the other actors are practically wasted except perhaps Pooja Hegde. They are reduced to junior artists.

4. Songs and music are forgettable 5. The editing is poor and makes you feel that all other artists are being underplayed to make Bhai look better to the extent of their costumes also being really bad.

6. Pooja was a bit of a saving grace.

In conclusion It is time Salman Bhai ( in his own interest) realised that he cannot make himself the USP of the movie. That time has long gone by. He needs a good, age appropriate story, a good screenplay, some hard work on his own (over) acting, good Co stars ( not the pack of jokers assembled in this movie), good music and all this needs hard work and imagination.

Otherwise he will continue to waste his time, money and energy and likewise for us.
