Bhaiyya Ji Film Review: Manoj Bajpayee’s Cliché-Ridden Revenge Tragedy Slow-Mo’s Into Ridiculous Comedy

Manoj Bajpayee appeared to enjoy his role as Ram Charan, aka Bhaiyya Ji.

“Bhaiyya Ji,” directed by Apoorv Singh Karki and starring Manoj Bajpayee, Zoya Hussain, Vipin Sharma, Jatin Goswami, and Suvinder Vicky, receives a rating of 3/5. While the film offers a talented ensemble cast, its execution and dialogue fall short, making it skippable for most viewers. The overuse of slow-motion sequences becomes tiresome, and even a brief break won’t spare you from Bajpayee’s prolonged action scenes. Only recommended for those specifically interested in seeing Bajpayee in action and willing to endure mediocre storytelling. 

When Ram Charan’s (Manoj Bajpayee) younger brother Vedant is brutally murdered by Abhimanyu (Jatin Goswami) and his father Chandrabhan Singh (Suvinder Vicky), he is forced to resurrect his cruel side—Bhaiyya Ji. Ram Charan, called Bhaiyya Ji, would go to any length to exact revenge on the father-son combination for the devastation they caused his entire family.

Bhaiyya Ji Film Review: Script Analysis

Bhaiyya Ji is a story of revenge by Manoj Bajpayee. It becomes necessary for an older brother to betray his word to his dying father that he would never again choose the violent route. Following the devastating loss of Vedant, Ram Charan and his family are prepared to fight for revenge throughout the entire community. The idea seems appealing on paper. The execution, meanwhile, is not up to par. For a while, the first hour keeps you interested, but after Ram Charan starts acting, too much of the film is devoted to showing off his talents; it starts to seem like a photo session. I know it’s important to demonstrate that he’s his usual boisterous self, but who thought it was a good idea to include slow-motion footage every minute?

The retribution story’s build-up was passable, but the second hour is strange. There isn’t anything in the current to support the wild stories of a man dubbed “Robin Hood ka baap,” who is the father of Robin Hood. Bhaiyya Ji is given an overly dramatic, larger-than-life demeanor and the standard South Indian cinema hero treatment. The peasants blindly (and ardently) accompany a single guy on his quest. Everyone else is dehumanized to elevate and magnify Bhaiyya Ji. It’s not enjoyable. Manoj’s persona doesn’t seem threatening at all, and the dialogue between the hero and the evil is weak!

Review of Bhaiyya Ji the Movie: Star Performance

Manoj Bajpayee seems to be enjoying his role as Ram Charan, popularly known as Bhaiyya Ji, for one thing. The veteran actor got the chance to play a charming action hero in a lot of slow-motion and elegant action scenes. He’s usually paired off against these kinds of heroes as a villain. But a stronger story would have highlighted his abilities—especially for an actor of his caliber. It’s unfortunate to see him wasted in this bizarre tale of revenge.

Here is the Trailer for the Bhaiyya Ji Movie

Suvinder Vicky’s Chandrabhan Singh appears to be a significant threat to Ram Charan, nicknamed Bhaiyya Ji, but the script ultimately treats Suvinder’s character poorly, producing nothing spectacular from him. Jatin Goswami provides nothing significant aside from being Chandrabhan’s spoiled brat son, Abhimanyu. Vipin Sharma plays a cop and delivers genuinely funny lines.

Bhaiyya Ji Movie Review: Direction and Music

Apoorv Singh Karki directed ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’, which stars Manoj Bajpayee and is regarded as one of the best films of 2023. Apoorv admires Manoj, as evidenced by his portrayal of the Family Man star on television. The director aimed to convey that, like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, Manoj can fight ten men at once with beautiful kicks and punches. However, despite all of the heroism, the plot loses its sense of direction. The revenge action thriller, which could have been completed in 90 minutes, is extended for over two hours without need.

Bhaiyya Ji makes people laugh more because of its ridiculous speech and over-the-top melodrama than because of its intended humorous qualities. Vedant’s terrible loss appears genuine, but everything that follows gives the impression that the performers were forced to do things against their will. The tragedy loses its meaning and becomes an absurd and unexpected farce.

Your mind is already dulled by the movie, and the loud background music makes it even worse.

Review of Bhaiyya Ji: The Final Word

The Manoj Bajpayee film, while having the potential to be a compelling revenge story, falls flat overall. The film turns the tragedy into an inadvertent comedy by giving in to cliches and excessive exaggeration.
