‘Bhaiyya Ji’ movie review: Manoj Bajpayee burns bright in this toothless revenge saga

The Hindu  

A cross between Bhojpuri and South Indian masala movies, Bhaiyya Ji is a different beast for popular Hindi cinema. After reveling in realism where they make their silence heard, Manoj Bajpayee and Suvinder Vicky seem to have walked into the set of a Salman Khan actioner this week, with their toolkits of method acting. Director and co-writer Apoorv Singh Karki, who worked with Bajpayee on courtroom drama Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, sets up the stage for a revenge saga this time but after dressing up the age-old premise and talented players, this Badle Ki Aag fizzles out. Based on the internecine battles between Brahmin and Rajput satraps in Bihar and eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh, Ram Charan alias Bhaiyya Ji has to come out of self-imposed retirement when his stepbrother Bhola is killed by the son of Chandra Bhan Singh after an ego tussle takes an ugly shape. Bhaiyya Ji Director: Apoorv Singh Karki Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Suvinder Vicky, Jatin Goswami, Zoya Hussain, Vipin Sharma Run-time: 135 minutes Storyline: Ram Charan, who goes by Bhaiyya Ji, seeks violent revenge for the murder of his stepbrother After spelling out the premise, the narrative takes a predictable shape.
