Brother Movie Review : A comedy-drama that leans on familiar tropes

**Synopsis:**
*Brother* follows Karthik (Jayam Ravi), a carefree and impulsive young man who often causes trouble due to his lack of awareness and obsession with justice. When Karthik's actions disrupt the marriage of his elder sister Anandhi (Bhumika Chawla), he must work to repair the family rift and prove himself, all while balancing his relationship with Archana (Priyanka Mohan).

**Review:**
*Brother* is a lighthearted family drama that sticks to familiar formulas. The film opens with Karthik's antics causing comedic chaos and moves into deeper family drama. The humor is consistent but mild, and the storyline is simple without pushing any major themes.

Jayam Ravi delivers a strong performance, portraying Karthik's range from cluelessness to self-awareness. The supporting cast adds charm, with Bhumika Chawla as the caring sister and Rao Ramesh as the proud, stubborn father-in-law providing standout moments. The film is colorful and features typical commercial elements like song-and-dance numbers and comedic side characters.

However, the shift from comedy to drama feels uneven, with abrupt character changes and overly melodramatic scenes. While the movie entertains, the emotional moments can feel forced, and the resolutions are too convenient. Despite these flaws, *Brother* offers enough laughs and performances to make it a decent, if predictable, watch.
Richard Boyd :D :D :D
