Brothers

It nails the heart, but everything else about 'Brothers' is yawnful.

The film manages to make you care for Akshay Kumar's character David, as well as for Sidharth Malhotra's Monty but it's skewed heavily towards Kumar. Away from them though, it's poorly crafted storytelling in regards to the sporting and siblings/father parts of the plot.

It also goes on for too long, my version of the film - via Colors Cineplex - only ran for around two hours... I'm not sure where the apparent extra thirty or so minutes went, though I'm kinda glad as that extra portion would probably put my rating much lower. At least the music is nice.

There are many better Hindi sport dramas out there.

T'was a cheap remake of Sultan and did not meet the emotional sentimentality required for that kind of film at all. I know Jackie Shroff cried a lot during the whole film but that was just annoying in the end. This movie wasnt well structured at all. and you know what would've made the whole thing worth it, if there was a "I year after" scene where they're all having dinner as family and they've all reconciled and Malhothra's character got to know his nephew and all. that would've made this whole thing worth it but I'm utterly disappointed.
