A Sunny Deol film used to live up the crowds expectations and draw crowds in huge numbers to the theatres but things are not the same now.
Especially so when a film is an actioner with a title like ‘Big Brother’ and has been in the making for years, it is likely that people will show any sort of a interest in this one. First film for which Priyanka Chopra shot before making her debut as a lead actor in ‘Andaaz’, ‘Big Brother’ was earlier titled ‘Deodhar Gandhi’ and has Guddu Dhanoa at the helm. He is the same director who has delivered two successful films ‘Ziddi’ and ‘Salakhen’ with Sunny Deol.
In short, Big Brother is a complete waste of time and I am writing this review to just make you aware of the reason for this. Now have a look at these superman scenes, which looked good in the 1980s cinema:
• Sunny Deol’s one punch is enough to bury a person in the soil…Instant graveyard!
• Sunny Paaji spills acid…On gundas (villains) faces..Hoho
• The rapist jumps from a skyscraper…Reason, self realization and Sunny Paaji beside him
• People become super weak when Sunny Deol kicks them, and they fly, they break the lamp posts, wind blows…iron tears…Uff!!
• Sunny Deol’s rocking dance….with lyrics like Tunu Tunu
• Sunny paaji is a saviour…One man show…I believe 2 or 3 SUNNY Deols are enough to replace our army.
The plot is old and stale, with no fresh treatment. Violence and blood forms the crux of the movie. Sunny Deol is a simple and decent ‘dude’ of Delhi and an incident which takes place with his sister, forces him to shift his base to Mumbai. Things worsen over there and then our Sunny Deol decides to rise…Rise from the ashes and throw all the villainy characters into the ashes.
Priyanka Chopra is a sheer waste in this one as she dances around in three songs and cries wholeheartedly. Raju Shrivastava is a forced humour, and he seems to be better on television.
Songs stand out of place and lyrics are bad, to say the least. Direction, story, screenplay all fall in the ‘bad’ category too. Cinematography is okay.
Watching this film will add on to the single digit collections of this film, and all the technicians and actors belonging to this film must be awarded a medal.
Radiosargam Movie Rating: 2/10
