Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra's much-awaited movie Brothers hits screens today. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the movie also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff and Shefali Shah in significant roles.

Brothers is an official remake of the 2011 Hollywood hit Warrior which featured Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton as the two estranged brothers, to be played by Akshay and Sidharth in the Hindi version.

Jackie, who plays father to the troubled brothers in his comeback movie of sorts, recently said that he is thankful for a "solid and powerful" role in the movie. He added: "Throughout the 30 years of my career in the industry, I've done several emotional roles, but this is the first movie in which Karan Malhotra has extracted a lot of emotions from my heart."

Kareena Kapoor features in an item number. Brothers is produced by filmmaker Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Gour Hari Dastaan, which stars Vinay Pathak in the titular role of Gandhian Gour Hari Das, too releases today. Directed by Ananth Mahadevan, the movie also stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Ranvir Shorey and Tannishtha Mukherjee and tracks the story of a man who exhausts 30 years of his life in order to establish his identity as a freedom fighter, fighting corruption at every step.

Meanwhile, Hollywood has the animated stop-motion film Shaun the Sheep on offer, which is based on the TV series of the same name. Directed by Mark Burton, the silent comedy features Shaun, his crew and a guard dog in a series of adventures, in an attempt to rescue their master, which spice up their otherwise mundane life. The movie, which first released in the UK in February this year, is slated to release here today.
What is sad is that Pakistanis are forgetting that just recently Bin roye was banned in Maharashtra and even more importantly that this movie basically stole an iconic and classic Pakistani qawwali sung by Great and late Aziz mian qawaal. To add insult to injury they had this sung by notorious turncoat Adnan Sami. I have forgotten the number of times Indians have used his example i.e. his desperate attempts to acquire Indian nationality to humiliate Pakistanis on Facebook. By the way why was he singing an Urdu Qawwali in a Kashmiri dargah?
To all the pseudo-intellectual Pakistanis bashing Bin roye online I just have one question. You would gladly watch any cheap masala Indian film but have suddenly acquired high-brow tastes when it comes to a Pakistani movie? Pathetic. As for people saying that at least it’s a start and this film is NOT AS BAD AS THE PREVIOUS MOVIES! I would just like to say have you heard the fable of the coffin thief and his son? May God give our people the strength to find some self-respect and national pride.
I rate Bajrangi bhaijaan 1 out of 5 stars and hereby formally nominate this movie for ‘Black Award for Emotional Blackmail’ category in Indian golden kela awards which ironically are themselves are a copy of the golden raspberry awards. LOL.
