Director Onir has always defied stereotypes. Recall his first two films -- MY BROTHER NIKHIL and BAS EK PAL. With SORRY BHAI!, Onir takes the road less travelled.
'Come, fall in love... with you brother's bride', says the tagline of the film. Agreed, there must've been real-life instances of a guy falling in love with his bhabhi-to-be, but as a cinematic experience, a theme like this caters to a niche audience. The traditional ones, even with a modern outlook towards life, might not approve of this story in the first place.
Write your own movie review of Sorry Bhai!
As a movie, SORRY BHAI! has some interesting moments and the ensemble star cast pitches in real performances too. But the impression you get is that Onir didn't know how to tie it all up, to conclude the film convincingly.
Siddharth [Sharman Joshi], a shy young scientist, travels to Mauritius for his elder brother Harsh's [Sanjay Suri] wedding. Accompanying him is his Ma [Shabana Azmi], a reluctant traveller since she is angry at Harsh for deciding to get married without consulting them. Also travelling is Siddharth's cheery father [Boman Irani].
Harsh, pre-occupied with work, can spend little time with his family and it is left to his fiancee Aaliyah [Chitrangda Singh] to show them around Mauritius before the wedding. However, Ma's anger at Harsh ensures that she takes an instant dislike for Aaliyah and it is Aaliyah and Siddharth who end up spending loads of time together.
This, added to the fact that Aaliyah feels neglected by the career-obsessed Harsh, leads to them being irresistibly drawn to each other. A horrified Siddharth battles this attraction desperately, but Aaliyah has fallen madly in love and pursues him with single-minded determination.
