After four years of hiatus, Salman Khan is back on-screen with a back with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan. The film has released worldwide on April 21, 2023. After a very long wait, Salman's film has released on the occasion of Eid and indeed it's a perfect Eidi for moviegoers. Fans are ecstatic to watch Bhaijaan's film in the theatre. And most of them thronged to cinema halls to watch the first-day first show.
The film, directed by Fahad Samji, features an ensemble star cast including Salman Khan, Jagapathi Babu, Vijender Singh, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Rohini Hattangadi, Satish Kaushik, Shehnaaz Gill, Palak Tiwari.
The plot
The eldest brother (Bhaijaan) refuses to marry as he believes it may create disharmony among their brother. His brothers, who've already found partners, come together to find a match for him. Bhaijaan then becomes "Jaan" for Bhagya.
Bhaijaan's words, "Humein koi nai chahiye jo bhaiyon ka bandhan tode." (We don't need anyone who will break our bond). And then what follows is an amalgamation of emotions, tears, dance and high-voltage action.
One can never forget the dialogue said by Bhaijaan, you wil love it, hate it but can't ignore it. In fact, even during high-voltage action sequences, Bhai has pulled off the dialogues with utmost panache.
The film certainly revolves around Salman Khan. However, seeing the biggest crossover was Bollywood meets South stars especially Ram Charan's cameo for a song, Daggubati Venkatesh as former Rowdy Anna who then turned non-violent, and Jagapathi Babu as an antagonist.
Spoiler alert:
There is a Maine Pyar Kiya sequence with Bhagyashree, Himalaya Dassani and son Abhimanyu. Where Abhimanyu wants to follow Bhaijaan's footsteps. The dialogue "dosti mein no sorry no thank you" (there is no sorry and thank you in friendship) was mouthed by Bhagyashree again.
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi ki Jaan review:
— Xavier Uncle (@xavierunclelite) April 21, 2023
An excellent script, brilliant acting, soulful music and perfect direction.
All ruined.
There were few scenes pre-interval of late Satish Kaushik.
Unlike other Salman Khan movies, the actor has no name, he is called "Bhaijaan" and then "jaan."

MASS MASALA FAMILY ENTERTAINER.
Rating: 3.25/5#SalmanKhan is back bone of the film. #Venkatesh and #JagapathiBabu are solid. All 3 brothers are good. #PoojaHegde is just average.

Three word review - A Missed Opportunity ⭐⭐ 2/5#SalmanKhan is the only good thing about this movie.
Problem is the screenplay which at times is good. But it has all the wrong things of a south indian masala.

The craze and love of fans for #SalmanKhan is unreal ❣️#KisiKaBhaiKisiKiJaanReviewpic.twitter.com/bbnDldaeCa
A netizen wrote, "Forgot Boycott Calls & Paid Reviews, I Will Tell You My Original Review In One Line. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Is Horrible To Watch. Went To The Theatres With High Hopes But were Disappointed. Not Recommending Anyone. Save Your Time And Money"
To sum it up, Salman Khan is the whole and sole of the film and essays his character with ease. East or West Bhaijaan is the best!
