Movie Review- Bhaiya Ji: The same old revenge story; weak story, scattered screenplay; Manoj Bajpayee’s efforts were ruined by the director
‘Bhaiya Ji’ is the 100th film of actor Manoj Bajpayee’s career. The actor is seen doing tremendous action in this film. Today this film has been released in theatres. The length of this film is two hours and 15 minutes. Dainik Bhaskar has given this film a rating of 2 stars out of 5. What is the story of the film? The story of this film is woven in the background of Sitamandi, a fictitious city of Bihar. Manoj Bajpayee has played the character of Ram Charan Tripathi in the film, whom people call Bhaiya Ji. Bhaiya Ji once had a lot of influence in the politics of Bihar. His shovel has freed thousands of criminals from the world. But Bhaiya Ji now wants to leave everything and get married and live a life like a gentleman. Meanwhile, his younger brother is murdered in Delhi. To avenge his brother’s death, Bhaiya Ji comes to Delhi from Bihar and the game of cat and mouse begins. How is the acting of the star cast? There is no doubt that Manoj Bajpayee has impressed a lot with his strong acting and action. Before this, he has not been seen in such an action avatar. He has tried to do complete justice to his character. Zoya Hussain, who plays Manoj Bajpayee’s lady love, seems to be overshadowing him in the action scenes. On the other hand, Suvinder Vicky and Jatin Goswami did not do well in negative roles. Vipin Sharma tries to tickle the audience with his character, but that too seems artificial. How is the direction? The weakest link of this film is the direction of the film. Apoorv Singh Karki, who has directed ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai’ with Manoj Bajpayee before this film, has directed this film. The story of the film is very weak. The audience has already seen many such stories based on the feeling of revenge. The screenplay of the film is scattered from beginning to end. Within a minute of the film starting, one can guess what turn the story is going to take next? Barring a few dialogues of the film, all the dialogues seem clichéd. The story of the film shows a Bihari touch and a Delhi-Haryana touch. But seeing the action scenes of the film, it seems that we are watching a South film. The cinematography of the film is also weak. How is the music? The story of the film is set in the background of Bihar. Therefore, the songs of the film have been sung by Bhojpuri singers. But apart from Manoj Tiwari’s songs ‘Bagh Ke Kareja’ and ‘Kaune Janam Ke Badla’, no other song has left an impact. The background music of the film is ordinary. Final Verdict, should you watch it or not? If you are a fan of Manoj Bajpayee. If you want to see him in a tremendous action avatar for the first time, then you can watch the film. Anyway, after some time the film will be released on OTT. It is up to you to decide where to watch the film.
