MIDDLING FAMILY DRAMA WITH MANUFACTURED CONFLICTS
The New Indian Express|November 02, 2024
BROTHER begins by showing us how Karthik, a law school dropout, who cannot tolerate irresponsible behaviour, goes on to start a fight with anyone and everyone.

MIDDLING FAMILY DRAMA WITH MANUFACTURED CONFLICTS

As the tradition of Tamil cinema has it, every unruly brother can be fettered only by his dotting elder sister. Enter Anandhi (Bhumika Chawla), Karthik's sister, who promises her parents to make her brother a better person, and takes him to her house in Ooty. How Karthik brings chaos into the lives of Anandhi and her husband Aravind (Natty), forms the rest of the story.

A protagonist who makes light of serious situations is director Rajesh M's forte. However, it seems he hasn't been updating his humour to suit the changing sensibilities of the audience. Brother could have been a better film if Rajesh had stuck to the exploration of emotions instead of reverting to the no-longer-funny comedy routines.
