Story:

Markandeyulu is a very responsible person who needs to look after his mother, brother, and sisters, and in the process of looking after them and moving up in his work, he forgets to live his own life. One day, he is involved in an accident that kills him and sends him to TIME, who grants Markandeyulu a 90-day extension on Earth. The rest of the film is about what happens during and after these 90 days.

On-Screen Performances:

Pawan Kalyan, as expected, excels in his part and is presented in the finest possible light. Without a doubt, this is his strongest performance since his comeback in terms of intensity, flair, and total screen presence. It will undoubtedly be a treat for fans to see the Pawan Kalyan they have been missing all this time.

Sai Dharam Tej has the brunt of the responsibility, as he is the one who must initiate and act on the emotional connection. He gives it his all, to be sure, but one can't help but sense that there is a lot more room for him to connect with the audience in terms of emotional delivery.

If that had been done properly, the film would have given the audience a far better overall impression. The actor's efforts are evident, and Sai Dharam Tej has done his best in the circumstances. Ketika Sharma's performance in the role is remarkable, and her on-screen presence adds an added dimension of charm. The remaining supporting cast does not have much to do, but they do it well enough.

Off-Screen Talents:

During the first half of the film, director Samuthirakani and writer Trivikram Srinivas excelled at presenting Pawan Kalyan in an energetic and resonating manner.

After a great first half, the second half can feel a touch slow, but by the time the film reaches its conclusion, the audience feels complete and fulfilled. Trivikram's signature dialogues are also fairly brilliant, and Pawan Kalyan sequences using his classic songs are pure magic, generating a lot of nostalgia in the audience and reminding them of vintage Pawan Kalyan. Overall, filmmaker Samuthirakani was able to create a film that is both loyal to the original and better than the original.

While the film's songs were a significant failure, music director SS Thaman provided a superior background score for the picture. He has not disappointed the audience with the background score and has once again demonstrated that there is no one who can beat him in that department. The film's cinematography is adequate and complements the proceedings pretty well. The production qualities are excellent, and the editing is also extremely good.

Positive Points:

Pawan Kalyan performance

Full feast elements for fans

Crispy runtime

Emotional climax

Background music

Negative Points:

Slight Lag in Second half

Overall Verdict:

If you're a huge Pawan Kalyan fan, this is the movie for you. BRO, on the other hand, has a solid message and is highly enjoyable for wide audiences, with just the right amount of Fun and Emotion. If properly marketed, this film has the potential to draw a family audience to the theatres.
