BRO DADDY movie is no laugh riot as the teasers make it out. It is something that you can sit in your arm chair with a cup of tea and samosas and watch it on TV. Once you get to know the plot in the first half , then the latter half proceedings make you fall asleep as there is not much of a comedy and when Shoubin crops up, you expect something but here too there is nothing to retain your interest. Finally when the expected climax happens, you can get up with a feeling of NOT BAD ( koyampam illa).
The film starts with a good timing between Mohanlal and Prithviraj and a nice set of actors like Meena- Lalu Alex - Kanikha - Kalyani Priyadarshan, palatial bungalows, rich settings , tasteful costumes, nice colour sense and a cinematography that captures it all. Now as the wafer thin plot is laid out, you need is a screenplay that has moments of rollicking laughter. It's here that director Prithviraj totally fails , You do not have any great song sequences either.
This film makes you realize the worth of Priyadarshan - if only this was given to him !. Anyway the idea to came on OTT ( Disney Hotstar) is good as it will keep the 50 + age group tuned in . There are no loud BGM's to wake you up. Of the whole lot, Lalu Alex is only one with a role that calls for acting and he does it with ease.
