Movie Review: 'Hey Bro' is a roller coaster joy ride of fun, comedy & entertainment

Hey-Bro

Banner: Pushpa Krishna Creations Presents
Producer: Vidhi Acharya
Director: Ajay Chandhok
Cast: Ganesh Acharya, Maninder Singh, Nupur Sharma, Hanif Hilal, Indira Krishnan, Prem Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh, Prabhudeva & Govinda
Music: Nitin Arora & Sony Chandy

A couple of years ago director Ajay Chandok had, had his 1st directorial outing with ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’ with not much directorial success to his credit. And now years later he has again failed to display his, maybe, latent directorial skills.

So the million dollar question is what is the movie ‘Hey Bro’ all about. Well! ‘Hey Bro’ with the tagline “Judwa (Read Twins) with a twist”, is a comedy action drama film that depicts the journey of a very cute, innocent & loveable Gopi (Ganesh Acharya), a village bumpkin from a small village in Rajasthan who comes to Mumbai in search of his twin brother Shiv (Maninder Singh) & mother (Indira Krishnan) separated from him at birth. He doesn’t have an address or any picture of his brother & mother, but to fulfil his dadaji’s (Prem Chopra) wish; he leaves the village in their search with his ‘own picture’ naively believing that his brother would look ‘just like him’ as ‘twins always do’, because he had seen that in a lot of movies. What follows is a roller coaster ride of fun, comedy & entertainment. The ‘hunt’ for his brother lands the innocent Gopi, in a lot of crazy situations, the wrong side of law as well as a law breaker ‘Land Mafia Don’ Baba (Hanif Hilal). How Gopi gets out of those situations, escapes from the clutches of the villain, finds his brother Shiv & his mother, plays cupid between his brother & the beautiful & sexy Anjali (Nupur Sharma) & finally re-unites the entire family, is one hilarious, funny yet emotional, enriching & entertaining experience.

Director Ajay Chandok’s directorial skills leaves much to be desired but it is the plot and the hilarious twist & turns at the scripting level that takes precedence and enlivens the entire proceedings. And the due credit goes to its technical crew too.

Performance wise It is Ganesh Acharya who scores all the brownie points in the histrionics department. He is cute & he is lovable, just like his character in the film. Besides he defies the convention mores that only smart & dashing person can play the lead role. Next in line is Maninder Singh leaves an impact as the lost brother. He impresses a lot with his dashing persona in a uniformed role having done such roles in the small screen arena too. While the rest of the cast comprising of Nupur Sharma, Hanif Hilal, Indira Krishnan & Prem Chopra (the latter in a brief role) complement the main lead players Ganesh Acharya & Maninder Singh. And as for superstars & stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh, Prabhudeva & Govinda adequately add to the value of the box office turnstiles by making a very special appearance in a very special song “Birju”.

Tailpiece: To be very frank ‘Hey Bro’ is like a David Dhawan kind of commercial movie. So leave your brains behind and just have a hearty laugh.

In the 2013 Assembly polls, Kejriwal had made a stunning electoral debut by defeating Delhi’s three-time Congress Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.

The AAP chief bettered the margin of his victory this time as he had defeated Dikshit by 25,864 votes.

Both PM Modi and Bedi tweeted to congratulate Kejriwal on his massive victory.

New Delhi: The BJP Monday fielded a young party member Nupur Sharma to take on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi seat in Delhi assembly polls. The party’s first list of 62 candidates included new entrants Kiran Bedi, Krishna Tirath and Vinod Kumar Binny.

The list includes former union minister and Congress leader Tirath from Patel Nagar. Tirath got the BJP ticket on the day she declared her association with the party, creating a record of sorts.

Bharatiya Janata Party’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi, a former IPS officer, has been fielded from Krishna Nagar, a “traditional” seat of the party. Bedi joined the BJP Jan 15.

Binny, a former AAP MLA, will contest from Patparganj. He joined the BJP Sunday.

Briefing reporters after the meeting of party’s central election committee and parliamentary board, BJP leader and union minister J.P. Nadda said that party’s Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay will not contest the polls.

“He has a huge responsibility. He will not be fighting the election,” Nadda said.

Those fielded by the BJP also included Vijendra Gupta from Rohini, Jagdish Mukhi from Janakpuri, Karan Singh Tanwar from Delhi Cantonment and M.S. Dhir from Jangpura.

Dhir is a former speaker of Delhi assembly and had won the 2013 election as an AAP nominee.
Elections to 70-member Delhi assembly will be held Feb 7.

Nupur Sharma is a former Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) president. She was associated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the BJP. Her name was being considered by the party against Kejriwal even in 2013 elections.

On November 6, 2008, when she was DUSU president, she led an ABVP mob into an arts faculty seminar room in the university, where some students and teachers groups had invited Zakir Hussain College professor and former accused in the Parliament attack case SAR Geelani to participate in a seminar titled ‘Communalism, Fascism and Democracy: Rhetoric and Reality’.

While a number of them vandalised the venue, an ABVP activist spat on Geelani’s face. Sharma herself was seen heckling Geelani.

Late that night, she was on a popular television show where the anchor asked whether she, a student, would apologise to Geelani, the professor.

“I am not going to apologise… What for?” she quipped. Later in the show, she ventured, “I’ll take a stand. The whole country should spit at him. Who invited him to the university to speak on terrorism?”
