CGiii Comment
If ever there was an elongated way to tell a flimsy story...then, this is it!
Cut out all the Bollywood, body builders and baloney...and you would be left with about 20 worthwhile minutes.
Basically, one of the brothers is gay...but, you'll have to wait a meandering and mind-numbing 90 minutes to find out who the bum-bandit is...
Cue...the whole shame, disappointment, life of lies diatribe...from a rather vile mother and a horrid father...both would win gold for perpetual nagging.
The 'comedy' is supplied by a dirty old grandfather who is just about to pop his clogs...well, he can't pop them soon enough...
After all the revelations, mayhem and monotony...it veers off-piste and collides - head on - with sickly sentimentality...oooh it's stomach-churning.
Needless to say...we didn't enjoy this rambling film whatsoever.
On a bright note: the cinematography is rather impressive.
