Sorry bhai (2008)
This is one of the boldest movies Indian cinema has ever produced. Director Onir proves his mettle in directing extremely sensitive subjects with absolute ease and a flow which lacks any artificiality. His previous film, My brother Nikhil, was about a homosexual swimmer who contracted AIDS and lived his last days with his loving sister.
This movie has two basic colour tones - blue and white. And the influence of oceans and beaches is sketched all over Onir's movies. Gives the film a very fresh and raw feel. The film is shot with minimal background score and the story is gripping.
The characters - Boman Irani is by far the most lovable of the cast. He is very cute playing the playful dad in his own way. I just hate Shabana Azmi, but her acting skills can't be denied. She plays the nagging mother who nags only because she means well for her children. Sharman Joshi has excellent comic timing, but doesn't look like a psychisist who plays the saxophone and is the perfect man. Talking about perfect, actress Chitrangadha Sen is. She is hot, has brains and money (She is the real life wife to golfer Jeev Milkha Singh) Brand new addition to my hot list. After Hazaaron khwashein aisi, she returns with a good performance. That leaves us to the smallest character in the movie, Sanjay Suri, who is incidentally also the producer. No wonder he kept his role as short as possible, he wanted the movie to work!
But I'm afraid that ain't gonna happen. This movie is conceptually ahead of its time for Indian ausdiences. A man falling in love with his future sister - in - law won't be well taken by the public. But I guess you should watch the movie to find out how hot Chitrangadha really is!
Rate - 2.5/5
Trivia - Chitrangadha Sen has acted in three bollywood movies. Hazaroon khwashien aisi, Sorry bhai and..? Kal
