The Malayalam film "Bro Daddy" is the second film directed by actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directing Mohanlal again after the Lucifer hit came as a surprise. Let's go into the review and find out how this movie is released today on Disney Plus Hotstar.
Movie Story:
John Kattadi (Mohanlal) and Annamma (Meena Sagar) are a happy couple even after 25 years of marriage. Isho (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is their only son who works in an advertising company in Bangalore. Kurien (Lalu Alex) is a family friend of John Kattadi and his daughter Anna (Kalyani Priyadarshan) also works in Bangalore. She is in a live-in-relationship with Eisho and her two families are unaware of it. Suddenly a problem arises that changes their lives. What is that problem? How did they contact their families for a solution? What happened next? If you want to know the answers, you have to watch the movie "Bro Daddy".
Plus points:
Speaking of Mohanlal, his acting looked amazing. Played his role very easily. His comedy timing and naughty actions will surely make you laugh. Moreover, Prithviraj also acted very well as the son of Ayomaya. Lalu Alex still lives as an innocent father in his character. Kalyani Priyadarshan fits the role well and she also gave her best performance. Meena and Kaniha did justice to their roles.
Prithviraj succeeded in making the serious issue ridiculous. He handled both comedy and emotions well. The visuals are rich enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen and the music is great enough to make the scenes even more humorous. The situational comedy between Lead Pair and Male Leads made Bro Daddy worth watching.
Minus points:
The story is nothing new to the audience but the director screened it humorously. In the first half, the story runs with a juicy screenplay, but in the latter part, it becomes dull and accelerates again as the film reaches its climax. Some scenes in the second half are a bit long. The scenes of Unni Mukundan and Saubin Shahar seem to be a bit of a hindrance to the main story.
Technical Department:
Producer Antony Perumbavoor Production values are good. Cinematographer Abhinandan Ramanujam was on screen and provided stunning and captivating scenes. The background score provided by Deepak Dev played a key role in making the audience sense the mood of the story. Editing by Akhilesh Mohan seemed crisp in the second half. Lastly Prithviraj handled the well known story well when talking about directing. He handled both comedy and emotions well.
Final Verdict:
Overall, "Bro Daddy" is a star-studded family drama. Deal with a serious problem in a funny way and end up on an emotional note. Situational comedy is well handled with the exception of a few unnecessary scenes. Mohanlal and Prithviraj gave some of the best performances and turned "Bro Daddy" into a time pass watch at home.
