Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan review:Apparently, Salman Khan's bad wig isn't the worst thing about Farhad Samji's latest film

There's Salman Khan, some more Salman Khan swag and lots of Salman Khan action. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is a no-brains family entertainer led by Salman suitable for nothing other than a cringe-binge hatewatch.

If you've missed seeing Bhai on Eid in his truest avatar pulling off some raw, hardcore action and signature hook steps with unbearable melodrama, then Kisi Ka Bhai is for you.

Directed by Farhad Samji, the film has no sense, no logic, no story to blow your mind, but yes, there's a lot of action, drama, emotion and action.

Loosely based on 2014 film Veeram, KKBKKJ revolves around Bhaijaan (Salman), who has dedicated his life raising his three brothers - Ishq (Raghav Juyal), Moh (Jassie Gill) and Love (Siddharth Nigam) - and in that hustle, he decided never to marry. 

But when Bhagyalaxmi (Pooja Hedge) enters the scene, things change and he finds a new purpose in life.

However, on learning that Bhagya's brother Annayya Gundamaneni (Venkatesh Daggubati), is a non-violent person and their family is being threatened by rival Nageshwar (Jagapathi Babu), Bhaijaan takes it upon himself to protect them.

Meanwhile, Bhaijaan and his brothers' lives are already in danger as Mahavir (Vijender Singh) is out to kill them for a piece of land where everyone worships Bhaijaan.

At 144 minutes, the film is painfully long and stretched. Even if you throw all the songs away, the story, whatever little is there, remains the same and it would make for a crisper watch.

Actually, since the songs are so abrupt and loud (though peppy), releasing them separately as an album, not as a part of the film, would have been a wiser choice.

But, it seems the makers were more concerned about showing everyone's dance moves that they didn't mind ingesting as many as seven tracks into the film.

Watching Salman do those extremely cringe dance steps is no longer fun. They neither look good on screen nor do they make him look any good.

Even if you overlook the flaws, you can't get over the poor writing, especially with the dialogues that make Salman look so juvenile.

The film that Farhad has co-written with Sparsh Khetarpal and Tasha Bhambra, has a poor racism joke and a shameless Pepsi plug and then endless one-liners that just come from nowhere and leave no lasting impact.

There are countless cliches and you don't even have to wait for them; they start as early as Salman's entry scene - jumping from the top of a building, wearing his jacket mid-air and then having a funny exchange with the bad guys before he beats them to a pulp.

Among other guys, Raghav, Siddharth and Jassie get enough screen space to shine and show their action skills.

All three of them have a great screen presence and even with Salman in the frame, they hold their ground. Talking of screen presence, Pooja Hedge, for some reason, has never impressed me.

Her weak screen presence never lets her be that larger-than-life heroine, even though she has been paired opposite the most sought after male actors including Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas and Ranveer Singh in her earlier outings.

She tries too hard and goes overboard with her expressions, which starts to appear a bit annoying after a point. In KKBKKJ, her chemistry with Salman is negligible and as a South Indian woman, she struggles to look half as authentic.
