Wish
in
this
aborted
comedy,
rudely
ripped
off
from
the
above
sources,
somebody
had
given
some
thought
to
creating
humour
out
of
a
plot
that
seems
to
have
been
written
only
to
accommodate
choreographer
Ganesh
Acharya's
ample
frame.
What
do
you
do
with
a
size
extra-large
choreographer
who
wants
to
play
the
lead?
Simple!
You
write
a
comedy
about
a
fat
man
and
juxtapose
his
avoirdupois
against
an
extra-fit
man,
preferably
a
close
kin.
So
brothers,
they
are.
Twins
so
unlike
each
other
the
laughter
should
flow
automatically.
Or
so
the
troubled
brains
behind
this
dimwitted
comedy
must
have
thought.
If
the
truth
about
laughter
be
told,
it
flows
effortlessly
only
when
the
humour
is
integral
to
the
plot
and
the
actors
believe
in
the
material
they
are
given.
The
role
must
come
first.
The
laughter
would
follow.
Hey
Bro
takes
the
opposite
route
and
expectantly
loses
its
way
to
reach
a
dead-end.
It
tries
to
generate
laughter
out
of
a
plot
written
for
the
choreographer's
self-satisfaction.
The
plot
about
non-identical
twins
hinges
on
two
unlikely
brothers
thrown
together
for
a
series
of
adventures.
It
would
have
worked
if
the
two
unlikely
siblings
possessed
the
charm
and
screen
presence
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
Main
Khiladi
Tu
Anari.
Given
the
woeful
lack
of
genuine
intelligence
and
basic
common
sense,
the
entire
farcical
edifice
crumbles
to
the
ground.
Not
one
performance
in
this
work
of
ouch-art
is
anything
but
cringe-worthy.
The
direction
is
strictly
about
placing
the
camera
at
an
angle
where
Fat
Bro
(Ganesh)
can
be
pitched
against
Thin
Bro
(Maninder)
in
a
way
so
that
they
look
like
they're
posing
for
an
ad
propagating
a
crash-diet
plan.
Alas,
the
plan
crashes
with
every
passing
moment.
With
each
episode
you
get
the
sinking
feeling
that
the
actors
are
going
to
embarrass
themselves
even
more.
And
they
don't
disappoint.
Choreographers
are
better
left
behind
the
camera.
