BRO Movie Review:
The concept of BRO revolves around living life to the fullest and accepting it as it unfolds. The film stars Pawan Kalyan, who steals the show with his presence and vintage looks, enthralling fans by enacting his own blockbuster songs from the past. Sai Dharam Tej plays the role of Markandeyulu, a busy man who prioritizes work over emotions and opinions of others. However, a fatal accident leads him to meet the Time/God Titan, portrayed by Pawan Kalyan. Titan gives Markandeyulu 90 days as a second chance to change things in his life. The story unfolds as Markandeyulu realizes the need for change and strives to make a difference.
Sai Dharam Tej delivers a decent performance as an ignorant workaholic, and his chemistry with Pawan Kalyan in certain scenes is praiseworthy. Other cast members, including Ketika Sharma, Priya Varrier, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, and Tanikella Bharani, play their parts well. However, some felt that Priya Varrier’s role didn’t do justice to her popularity and could have been portrayed by anyone.
On the technical front, BRO showcases Pawan Kalyan in super stylish looks, and the background music by Thaman is commendable. However, the songs fail to impress, and the use of old songs from Pawan Kalyan’s previous movies seemed more effective than the new ones. The film’s VFX work receives criticism for its poor quality, and the screenplay is occasionally rushed and clumsy.
In terms of analysis, the concept of giving a person a second chance to change their life is not entirely new, but the director makes it more elaborate by keeping the God (Pawan Kalyan) present throughout the narrative. The movie tries to convey the message of realizing the true nature of life and time’s role in shaping it.
While the film has a good storyline, its weak narrative prevents it from reaching its full potential. The initial 20 minutes and some comedy scenes fail to engage the audience before getting into the main plot. Pawan Kalyan’s entry as Titan is powerful and captivating, but the emotional connection between Markandeyulu and his girlfriend is not well-established.
The combination of Pawan Kalyan and Sai Dharam Tej on screen is a highlight, but the subpar VFX in their scenes takes away from the overall experience. The second half of the film becomes predictable, and it lacks an emotional connection with the viewers. However, the climax and pre-climax song leave a positive impact and deliver meaningful life lessons.
In conclusion, BRO makes a good watch for Pawan Kalyan’s fans, thanks to his stellar performance and captivating presence. The film’s storyline is interesting, but the weak narration holds it back from becoming exceptional. Its fate at the box office will depend on time and audience reception.
