Viewers willing to embrace its skillful and emotionally real depiction of a man making impossible choices -- and especially fans of Akshay Kumar ready to see him excel in a physically and emotionally challenging role -- will be well rewarded.

Guardian

Almost all the second-half drama feels sketchily conceived; that canvas of narrative and thematic groundwork O'Connor set down before his brothers in arms went head-to-head simply hasn't travelled.

Rated: 2/5

This story of a fractured family is high on manipulative cinematic tools but fails to make an emotional connection. What stays with you are the no-holds-barred action sequences and the hummable theme tune.

Brothers is a film that plays emotional rope-a-dope with its audience.

It is the mind-numbingly inane commentary that is the most grating part of these scenes. The verbal diarrhoea drowns out what is supposed to be the most action-packed part of the film.

Bollywood. . .culturally adapted remake of "Warrior". . . to the alleys, waterfront, melodrama, and music of Mumbai. . . is surprisingly moving fraternal bonding.

I don't know what the point of this movie is. Just a guy who's crazy from ptsd. There's no point to the movie at all.

What I didn't know was it is an official adaptation produced by Lionsgate. However they completely changed the younger brother's character and it was very clear Sidharth didn't get any training. Which feels like what lead to his role being to minimal. He didn't seem like a main character. The changes they made comprised a deeper story. And there was only one song not worth skipping, the fight montage song. This being said, because AK trains in real life, his fight scenes were great. Jackie Shroff's performance was full of emotion. Overall, I wouldn't dismiss this as a bad movie. It was moving, tears were shed. If you haven't seen the original, by all means watch it. But if you watch the original after, it'll upset you that Sidharth could have had a way better role

It nails the heart, but everything else about 'Brothers' is yawnful. The film manages to make you care for Akshay Kumar's character David, as well as for Sidharth Malhotra's Monty but it's skewed heavily towards Kumar. Away from them though, it's poorly crafted storytelling in regards to the sporting and siblings/father parts of the plot. It also goes on for too long, my version of the film - via Colors Cineplex - only ran for around two hours... I'm not sure where the apparent extra thirty or so minutes went, though I'm kinda glad as that extra portion would probably put my rating much lower. At least the music is nice. There are many better Hindi sport dramas out there.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
