Bhaiyya Ji Review: A Tale Of Revenge That Feels Outdated Despite Manoj Bajpayee's Stellar Performance

Bhaiyya Ji Review: ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ comes across as dated. Given Manoj Bajpayee's exceptional body of work, this film falls short of his high standards.

Bhaiyya Ji Review: Manoj Bajpayee is an actor of exceptional range, having proven his versatility in 2023 with films like 'Gulmohar,’ ‘Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai,’ and ‘Zoram.’ ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ marks his 100th film, which he has also produced, with his wife. Once again, Bajpayee's powerful acting shines through, but the storyline lacks novelty. 

Plot

The narrative centers on 'Bhaiyya Ji' (Manoj Bajpayee), who is immersed in his wedding preparations and eagerly waiting for his younger brother's arrival from Delhi. However, tragedy strikes when his brother is killed at the station following an altercation with a thug's brother. Upon hearing the news, 'Bhaiyya Ji', who had sworn off violence, embarks on a path of vengeance. The film chronicles his quest for retribution. 

How's the film

‘Bhaiyya Ji’ feels like a film that would have been remarkable 20 to 25 years ago. In today's era of realistic cinema, it comes across as dated. Given Bajpayee's exceptional body of work, this film falls short of his high standards. The plot moves swiftly, and while the action sequences are adequate, the overall execution feels stale. It might appeal to single-screen audiences, but it's unlikely to resonate with today's generation. 

Acting

Manoj Bajpayee's performance is phenomenal. His portrayal of the character, from being emotional over his brother's death to wreaking havoc for revenge, proves once again why he is such a brilliant actor. Bajpayee is the soul of this film. Vipin Sharma fits well into the role of a police officer. However, Suvinder Vicky as the villain seems weak, failing to evoke the necessary fear. Zoya Hussain is adequate in her role. 

Direction

Apoorv Singh Karki, who directed the excellent 'Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai,’ seems to have faltered here, especially in the choice of story. Had this film been made 20 years ago, it might have been praised, but today better is expected from him. 

'Bhaiyya Ji' is worth watching solely for Manoj Bajpayee's outstanding performance.
