The Big Brother Movie Review

Better not bother

RATING: 2

Sunny Deol's latest but outdated film 'Big Brother' is a painful throwback to the days when the heroes of Hindi films championed noble social causes by bashing and bumping the baddies.

One must commend the optimism of the makers of 'Big Brother' that they actually thought of releasing the film despite it being absolutely obsolete to the present-day tastes of cinegoers.

The film reminds of the days when Sunny Deol played the 'angry, angst-filled young man' in a series of violent movies (like Ghayal, Ghatak and Farz). To add to the torture, there are a series of pointless songs that come in quick succession in the film's beginning. And if anything was left, poor acting, horrible screenplay and shoddy direction put the last three nails in the coffin of 'Big Brother'.

Sunny Deol plays Deodhar Gandhi, a simple, good-natured guy committed to his family and girlfriend (Priyanka Chopra). Deodhar's is a middle-class family in Delhi. He has a mother (Farida Jalal), brother (Imran Khan) and sister (Prachi).

Things take a turn after a minister's son throws acid on Deodhar's sister's face. The family leaves the city and moves to Mumbai. But troubles follow them there too.

Once the water is above their necks, Deodhar and his mother decide enough is enough. Deodhar's angry side comes to the fore. And what he does makes him a hero not just for his family but in the eyes of public as well. Deodhar becomes a savior, Big Brother, who brings justice to people in his own aggressive ways. Predictably, the good prevails over the evil.

Even if we discount the film's hackneyed storyline, it is hard to forget the pain of sitting through the senseless violence in the film. In his crusade over the evil, Sunny throws people off buildings, throws acid on people's faces, beats the baddies to pulp, and guns down corrupt cops.

It is a role that Sunny can perhaps play even in his half-sleep. The actor adds nothing new to his character of Deodhar than what we have already seen from him in similar roles in the past. Priyanka Chopra's presence in the film is strictly for the sake of having a heroine for the hero. Other actors like Govind Namdev and Shahbaaz Khan are over the top.

The film's music is terrible. Cinematography is not that bad.

To sum it up, 'Big Brother' turns out to be a big loser on the celluloid. The movie is a waste of time.
