Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Review:

Ever since Salman Khan announced a multi-starrer, many of us were eager to see what he had in store for us. Then came the various posters and songs, but what gave us a sneak peek into Bhaijaan’s world was the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Jaan trailer.

The very first glimpses of the film confirmed that we are in for a complete package of entertainment, thus piquing our excitement. And the film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan lives up to that expectation, with an ensemble cast of Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill, Venkatesh Daggubati, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Jagapathi Bapu, Palak Tiwari, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, and Vinali Bhatnagar.

Well, right from the first scene in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, you know that you are in for a fun-filled fantastic film. And by the end, you see how Salman aka Bhaijaan is the wind beneath every actor’s wing in this film.

The film has swag right from the first frame! In fact, Salman makes an entry in the midst of whistles. Not just on-screen, but off-screen too, Bhaijaan received a warm welcome from his fans in the audience. The peppy number O Balle Balle sets the vibrant mood just right. And, in the first 10 mins, we know that this film is going to be fun to watch.

While the film is high on emotions and drama, what’s adorable is to see the story trace back to Salman’s iconic film Main Ne Pyaar Kiya.

I must say, the film has all that makes a good commercial potboiler, be it the swag, the entertaining songs, the drama, the action, and even the one-liners. Not just that, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has a cast that is very interesting. What I loved the most is how everyone fit into their roles so well.

Story

The story revolves around Bhaijaan, an orphan who dedicates his life to bringing up his 3 brothers – Siddharth, Raghav, and Jassie (Love, Ishq, and Mo) after their orphanage catches fire. His life revolves around them, but three ladies rule Love, Ishq, and Mo’s hearts. So they decide to play Cupid and get Bhaijaan married in order to clear the path for them. Luckily, they meet Bhagyalaxmi (Pooja Hegde) and decide to play matchmakers.

While Bhaijaan has sworn off marriage for his brothers, Ishq, Mo, and Love, too, decide to remain unmarried. But their girlfriends urge Bhagya to convince Bhaijaan to approve of their relationship. In all of this, the Cupids (brothers) succeed in making Bhaijaan and Bhagya fall in love. Finally, Bhagya informs her brother (Venkatesh Daggubati), who agrees to meet Bhaijaan. However, there is also danger lurking in the background.

Nageshwar (Jagapathi) has been behind Bhagya’s family due to a past grudge. However, Bhaijaan takes it upon himself to protect Bhagya’s family. But, Bhagya’s non-violent brother Bala doesn’t approve of Bhaijaan’s violent means. Bala goes ahead to apologize to Nageshwar and further end the animosity, to protect his family. However, Nageshwar has other plans. He continues to plot against the Gundamenonis.

Nageshwar follows them to Delhi to spoil Bhaijaan and his brother’s wedding. And this face-off is something. That’s when the backstory unfolds and Venkatesh emerges as a surprise package.

Like always the good triumphs over the evil and they all live happily ever after.

What’s great about Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan…

The Performances

Considering the huge star cast, there is a great chance of some characters or performances taking a hit. But in KKBKKJ, everyone’s performance is great. Be it the brothers (Jassie Gill, Raghav Juyal, and Siddharth Nigam), their girlfriends, (Palak Tiwari, Shehnaaz Gill, and Vinali Bhatnagar), Salman Khan, or even Pooja Hegde. In fact, the performances are so great that they make the film quite a worthwhile experience. Even Jagapathi Babu and Vijendra Singh as villains have also done a good job in the movie.

The dialogue delivery

With such interesting dialogues, it is very important to deliver them brilliantly too. And the cast does so. Especially, Salman’s dialogues are great! And, the swag with which Bhaijaan says them, adds the oomph to his impact.

The storyline

Even though it is a complex story it is a great one. It has all the elements of being a blockbuster. In fact, you will only enjoy watching the story as it unfolds throughout. Even exploring all these relations and inter-relations is delightful.

The songs

There are a lot of songs in the film and each one of them does great justice to the story. They are so well placed and watching them on the big screen is a vibe. My personal favourites are Yentamma and Billi Billi.

Drawbacks of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan…

A complex plotline

With a story so entangled, and having so many actors, it’s a fabulous job done. But, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has one little drawback. It is that you have to be very attentive to follow the plot, or else you will get confused.

Conclusion:

Director Farhad Samji has done a great job in weaving this story together. Even though the film is fun it is high on emotions. In fact, it is a proper Eid treat. The film will make you laugh, clap, hoot, and whistle throughout. It is a true celebration you can have with your family by watching this film on the big screen. Eid Mubarak!
