Movie Review: Bhaiyya Ji
New Delhi : When you hear the name Bhaiyya Ji, Manoj Bajpayee's face instantly comes to mind. His latest venture, "Bhaiyya Ji," is his 100th film, and as expected, Bajpayee's stellar performance keeps his fans engaged, but the real surprise package of the movie is the twist involving "Bhabi Ji."
The film has a unique charm due to Bhabi Ji's character. Whether she’s present at home or not, her presence in the film adds a distinct flavor. Her personality stands out remarkably against Bhaiyya Ji’s rugged, tiger-like demeanor.
Manoj Bajpayee, as Bhaiyya Ji, delivers an action-packed performance. His anger, intensity, and the sheer fear he instills in villains, policemen, and politicians alike is palpable. His portrayal of a fearsome yet loved character from the small town of Pipli, Sitamarhi, who commands the entire village with a single call, is truly remarkable. The movie successfully creates a gripping atmosphere with its intense storyline and thrilling action sequences.
The plot revolves around the murder of Bhaiyya Ji's brother by the son of a notorious gangster in Delhi. The narrative spans from Delhi to Sitamarhi, trying to maintain an air of suspense and fear through its music and dramatic sequences.
The first half of the film builds up considerable excitement, hinting at a promising story. However, by the interval, the storyline becomes predictable. After the break, the audience is left anticipating the level of retribution hinted at by the recurring term "massacre."
One of the standout elements of the film is Bhaiyya Ji's soon-to-be wife. If there’s a wedding in your house, you might want to take notes because Bhabi Ji sets a new standard. She is a fierce fighter and a sharp shooter, overshadowing even Bhaiyya Ji’s bravado at times. Her action scenes are so intense that they seem to outdo even the most iconic action heroines, making it appear as if she might leap off the screen at any moment.
The film should have perhaps been titled "Bhaiyya Ji Aur Bhabi Ji" considering how the duo single-handedly takes down the villains, leaving little room for other characters. However, certain plot points are glaringly unrealistic, like the entire village traveling to Delhi without any obstacles or the sudden appearance of a clean shirt in a dilapidated setting.
Despite these inconsistencies, the movie manages to entertain. Bajpayee's acting, coupled with the fierce presence of Bhabi Ji, makes "Bhaiyya Ji" a watchable film. It's filled with action, drama, and a hint of romance, making it a complete package for fans of the genre.
While the movie might not break new ground, it offers a solid dose of entertainment. So, grab your popcorn and settle in for a ride that promises action and a bit of romance, though it might leave you with a few questions.
Rating: 3.5/5
