3 Thay Bhai: The Brotherhood of Bakwaas 2/10

Given the fact that there were some of the finest actors in the industry today like Om puri, deepak dobriyal and Shreyas Talpade, i was quite excited about the movie even though the promos didn't seem quite promising. But to be honest, its one of the worst movies i have seen in recent times. it makes even Tanu Weds Manu seem like a masterpiece. The Trying hard performances by the lead actors doesnt seem to compensate for the lack of script. Its a one line storyline which tries very hard to rest on performances but when even the gags are not funny, there is little that the performances can do as well. Its just a bad movie with a bad script and complete lack of direction or sense. It seems heavy on you and with in the first half of the first half itself, i was like WTF why can't it end already. I tried hard hard and really hard to survive the whole length of the movie and don't think most would have the similar amount of courage and patience. Don't Watch it even if someone pays for your ticket.






The movie is about 3 brothers who hate each other (apparently for some kiddish things happened in their childhood) and whose dead grandfather leaves them a real estate which may be theirs if they can spend 1 day every year at the estate together. Two years go by and the third year at the same day, they are trying to spend the day together and a number of things happen which are neither interesting nor funny. It is just a pathetically stretched version of the director going 'hey what do i do now, i still have 2 hours left'. And he starts depiction of supposedly funny 'situations' one after the other. You are like, What the F is happening and more importantly, Why the F is this happening. There is no connection between one scene and the other. Even though the actors try their level best and do not disappoint in their personal performances, the lack of story/script leaves you disappointed AND irritated.







Suddenly, the movie goes in flash back, then comes back, suddenly there are new characters which are introduced which are sillier than the story itself. The movie tries to be intelligent, emotional, slapstick and fails on all counts. You just can't seem to decide what and why is happening. It seems like a college (or rather a School) Skit being performed on screen and to be honest, i have seen much much better skits in my school-college days than this. You can't just take good actors and put them in a bad movie and expect audiences to watch.







There is absolutely nothing in the movie to be excited about. Music is horrible, Background score as irritating as Kangana Ranaut screaming 'you baskeettttttttttt', Direction (or lack there of) is nowhere to be found, Story Script is non existent, Characters are not lovable. Absolutely nothing except decent performances by all 3 which can't seem to hold attention of the audience in the stupidity of narration anyways.







Overall, one of the worst movies i have seen. Left me more irritated than disappointed. Don't watch even if you get free tickets.
