Neha Arts' CHAL MERE BHAI tells the story of two brothers, Vicky (Sanjay Dutt) and Prem (Salman
Khan), who fall in love with the same girl, Sapna (Karisma Kapoor). Vicky heads the business empire
and is a committed and responsible man, while Prem is a happy-go-lucky youngster, who is inclined
towards acting. Enters Sapna and Prem falls for her charms. Later Vicky too falls in love with her and the
family decides to get them married. Vicky is unaware that Prem and Sapna are in love with each other,
but when truth dawns upon him, he takes upon himself to get the lovers united.

The story is a mix of SAAJAN, HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN, DILLAGI and PYAAR KOI KHEL
NAHIN, wherein two brothers fall in love with the same girl. Since the plot has been witnessed earlier,
little care has been taken to make the screenplay gripping or exciting. The film lacks the by-now-famous
gags associated with David Dhawan films and the comedy scenes, barring a few, are not worth a
mention.

The screenplay (Ikram Akhtar and Yunus Sajawal) does little to help elevate the proceedings. With a
solid cast and a director who knows the pulse of the masses, the writers should've come up with gripping
incidents to woo the masses. But both the first half and the second half are too routine in content and
offer nothing original. Even the comedy scenes, which are so characteristic of David's films, seem to be
conspicuously missing this time.

Another drawback of the film is the climax, which stands on a weak drama. The ease with which Sanjay
hands over Karisma to Salman comes as a jolt to the viewer since he expects some fireworks. Even the
songs and their placement are far from impressive. Barring 'Chori Chori Sapno Mein Aata Hai Koi', the
remaining songs don't contribute to the plot at all. In fact, atleast two songs -- 'Meri Neend Jane Lagi Hai'
and 'Chal Mere Bhai' -- have been placed without any relevance to the goings-on. Even action scenes
look forced and weren't required at all.

Sanjay Dutt has been given a sober role, whereas Salman Khan plays straight to the gallery.
Comparatively speaking, Salman's role being such, he will endear himself to the masses and will be
appreciated for it. On the other hand, Sanjay Dutt is mediocre. Karisma Kapoor once again allows her
acting potential to come to the fore. Naghma has no scope at all. Dalip Tahil is quite good. Sushma Seth
is as usual. Shakti Kapoor makes his presence felt. Himani Shivpuri is okay. Sonali Bendre and Twinkle
Khanna, in guest roles, don't create any excitement.

Director David Dhawan should've chosen a better script to work on. Those going to watch a typical
David Dhawan kind of a masala film are bound to be disappointed this time. The film lacks in substance,
which is its biggest flaw.

At the box-office, CHAL MERE BHAI has weak merits and will find the going tough.

Another love-triangle, Chal Mere Bhai is the story of two brothers Vicky and Prem who are close
by heart.

The elder Vicky (Sanjay Dutt) is a serious, responsible and hard working businessman looking
after group of multinational companies. The younger Prem (Salman Khan) is carefree and aspires
to be an actor. Prem enjoys being pampered by Vicky and grandma, but his father Balraj Oberoi
(Dilip Tahil) wants him to mend his ways.

One fine day, a girl Sapna (Karishma Kapoor) enters their lives. Sapna is Secretary to Vicky and
normally gets too nervous in her boss' presence. Prem also gets to know Sapna and develops a
soft corner for her. Vicky gets hurt in fight and Sapna volunteers to nurse him. The entire Oberoi
family takes a liking to Sapna and wishes to see her married to Vicky.

Not knowing his younger brother’s love for Sapna, Vicky agrees to marry her. Prem, on the other
hand, is caught in a fix over whether to reveal his emotions or not. Who gets the girl in the end is
surprise.

Chal Mere Bhai is sheer entertainment with some belly-churning comedy. Producer Nitin
Manmohan says, “It is not a typical David Dhawan film. Although it has some slick editing just
like other David Dhawan films, there is a considerable difference as far as the content of the movie
goes”.

Shot in exotic locales the film is fast paced. Music is OK. The chemistry between Sanjay and
Salman does work in the film. A song sung by Salman and Sanju reminds us of Amitabh and
Rishi in Naseeb.
