vellachsamie This is not your normal movie with 2 stories running parallel moving between them. This is not a movie with special effects. This is not even a gangster movie with lots of gunfight or blood and gore. This is a story about brothers. Brotherhood and commitment. This is a story about people with choices. This is about bravery. This movie is also about how bad people actually do things. Bad people don't go around shooting others. Lest they go to the jail. Bad men make others kill each other. Survival in this world is to know what is right and wrong. It has been a long time since I have seen a moving story such as this. The acting was above average by all actors. Even the girl who only appears a few times makes an impression. This movie is not for action fans. Please stay away if you are. This movie is for sensitive people who like to think during a movie and talk about it after the movie.

Partha Dhar Gupta After the first 15 mins of the Movie I was really glued to my seat. Though the story line is the 'Baap' of all Hindi Movie plots but the way the thing was shown on the Silver Screen really demands some kudos from the audience. Mr Vidhu Vinod Chopra has done a excellent work in presenting the old wine in a new bottle packed with superb flavors which has aged into perfection and is a feast for the eyes. Hats off to the Screenplay and Direction skills which has enriched the movie from all angles. Some may say that it was too melodramatic and I also agree to it at some point but at the same time my other half tells me that as this is a Commercial movie so some things need to change in order to get a good Box Office review. I would recommend this movie to all Indian Audiences in India and Abroad including our veteran Film Makers, Actors and Producers too, to take this as an Inspiration and conquer Hollywood. We shall never forget the fact that till now Bollywood is the Largest Film Industry in the Universe and we need to show the World that too through Hollywood. Lastly Hats off to Mr Chopra for giving us a masterpiece in the form of Broken Horses. Keep it Up Sir !!!

papukamakshi As "Broken Horses" was drawing to a close, I formulated my review. I had just one sentence: "You could do worse than spend a totally free evening --when there's no cricket, even--watching this movie."It is just a yarn, spun without imagination, and that yarn isn't substantial enough to be woven into a unique design.There were a couple of twists and turns, some modicum of suspense, many efforts to get the tear ducts opening, but all through I kept thinking, "This is kind of embarrassing." If the movie theater had been full, I dare say there would have been guffaws at the flat story-telling and the clunky dialogs. That would have amused me.With movies on familiar themes you want slick treatment, snappy dialog, and a sound-track that tells some of the story without the aid of words. And in this movie where music is a major theme, I really missed the magic an original score and sound-effects can play.That's it. You aren't likely to go bananas about any aspect of this film, except may be the photography. Having seen this, I am not dying to see "Parinda" either.

subxerogravity It feels like an attempt to create dramatic violence similar to Martin Scorsese but this plan goes south super fast.The typical formula of two brothers whose father is killed before they are men. The oldest brother becomes a bad guy in order to take care of the younger brother assuring he becomes a good guy, And just when the good guy's life is about to turn great, he decides he needs to see his brother after years of silence to make life perfect,but of course things go bad when this happens.The characters were not as stereotyped, as I make it. They had some death to it and it was well executed by the actors playing these characters. The story was a good one as well.But the filmmakers style needs work. I just saw that this movie was written directed and produced by an Indian filmmaker. It could have been culturally I did not find the dramatic pauses appealing, just overall melodramatic, but I'll give him points for not going all Bollywood on me and sliding in musical numbers that made no since( and I can see places in the movie were he could have done that)Yeah, I found it more silly than anything so I won't recommend.
