Teen Thay Bhai – Hindi Movie Review

With such an ensemble star-casts known for its excellence coming together and Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra backing the project, the expectations were literally far above our usual limits as we felt that there could be something interesting involved in the project. Of course, we must accept the fact that basic plot of the film is good and quite interesting. New filmmaker Mrigdeep Singh Lamba really deserves a pat on his shoulder. But then, what goes terribly wrong is the very poor writing. We’re sure that director must have kept the screenplay away from these actors and it makes us wonder how come Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra could really okay such a crap work.

Even if this is not the situation, it badly disappoints us to see how come these great actors like Deepak Dobriyal, Shreyas Talpade and Om Puri could sign such project that would really warn them on the paper itself that it’s going to ruin their career.

Sorry to say! ‘TEEN THAY BHAI’ is such a boring piece of work that will grab hold our necks and urges us to run out of theatres. There is nothing much to be analyzed with this movie as there are whole lot of loopholes and on whole, it’s a movie to be avoided at any cost.

Three down-on-their-luck and out-of-money brothers meet for the reading of the will when their grandfather dies. And this is no easy meeting, because they hate the very sight of each other. This is no death at the funeral, but a pre-monition of hell, and all they want to do is to get back to their lives, miserable as they might be.

But suddenly, there is hope for freedom-from their money, woes and from each other. They find that their grandfather has left them an inheritance that will free them of financial worries for ever. But-as always-there is a catch, the brothers will get the multi-crore estate only after fulfilling a series of bizarre clauses set forth by their eccentric grandfather. They will have to spend an entire night at an abandoned cabin on the estate; along with two other people they hate the most – their brothers. And their dead grandfather’s ashes for company.

It is blatant that Hindi cinema is touching new line of experiments and is proving to be successful on that front. For illustration, we can bring the films – LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA, PEEPLI [LIVE], UDAAN, TERE BIN LADEN, PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA and BAND BAAJA BAARAAT…

Naturally, ‘Teen Thay Bhai’ would have been one amongst these films, if the filmmaker had tried placing everything at the right place. But, when it’s not happening, it will turn to be a film that has to be forgotten forever.  When we have three brothers on the opposite sides, we naturally expect them to come closer through a meaningful trait. Though, it sounds cliched, it would become a good flick with its visual significance, but nothing is perfect here.

Inspite of the film boasting of some best technical aspects, everything dashes down our hopes as even the actors are so withered with their performance.

It looks like they took up the film for time-pass…
