Review of Sorry Bhai (2008) by Harry T — 27 May 2009

Great and enjoyable movie. The plot may be a bit predictable but the ending is surprising. There are moments of sweetness and tenderness.

This is a Hindi film - Sorry Bhai! - means "Sorry Brother!".

Two brothers (Sid and Harsh) are very close. Harsh left India and moved to Mauritius for work. What is supposedly to be a year or two overseas stint became years and years. So miuch so, that their mother (Gayatri) is furious and does not forgive Harsh for leaving her side.

One day, the family received news of Harsh's engagement and invited the whole family to go to Mauritius for the wedding. Initially, the mother refused to go but she was managed to be persuaded by Sid and her husband (Pop). Pop is a fun loving and easy going father and husband.

In Mauritius, Gayatri is still having difficulties in accepting her future daughter in-law (the beautiful, Aaliyah). She is trying to understand Aaliyah and why her son wants to marry this girl. Thus, funny and sad moments exploded between them.

What got it worst is that Sid realised later that he had fallen in love with his brother's wife to be (Aaliyah). And Aaliyah also started to have the same feelings for Sid (she feels that she has been left aside after Harsh started his own carreer in investment and no time for her). She realise that she doesn't love Harsh anymore and Sid is the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Sid, not wanting to get involved later succumbed to the web and gave in to his feelings for Aaliyah.

What are they going to do? Aaliyah just started to get into Gayatri's good books.. and how is she going to face Gayatri and above all, Harsh.

Is Harsh going to forgive Sid for snatching his bride away?

It has wonderful scores of music as well. I wish they shot at nicer scenes in Mauritius... I've never been there but I bet there are more beautiful scenes.
