7/10
An all-round entertainer
15 October 2010
I thoroughly enjoyed watching David Dhavan's Chal Mere Bhai, a crazy comedy which is a complete laugh riot for the entire family. The movie has drama, action, romance and comedy, all blended together to create a picture that keeps you entertained from start to finish. The film tells the story of two loving brothers, Vicky and Prem, both of whom fall for the same girl. That sounds rather dramatic, but everything is flavoured with great humour and is great fun to watch. Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan play the leading roles, they do a great job and have a great chemistry with Karisma Kapoor, but more than anything they just look like real brothers simply because of their own friendship behind the cameras. Everything in their interaction is incredibly convincing and nice to watch. Sanju is restrained and subdued and Salman is naturally funny with his happy-go-lucky attitude. Karisma Kapoor is awesome as the innocent and unassuming yet smart Sapna. These three leads act according to the film's mood and provide the film's most hilarious moments. What I particularly liked about the movie is its lighthearted nature. The movie has practically no villains and the supporting cast pretty much resembles the big good family of Hum Aapke Hain Koun. Anand-Milind compose a lovely soundtrack for the film. Among the songs, "Aajkal Ki Ladkiyan" is very catchy, "Chori Chori Sapnon" is also very nice, but my favourite number is "Meri Neend Jaane Lagi Hai", which is very melodious and is beautifully pictured on screen. Chal Mere Bhai is not some extraordinary film but it's very entertaining and deserves many repeat viewings, at least according to me.
