Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan review: Salman Khan defies logic one head butt at a time

Salman Khan Day is here. Also known as Eid to many, the festival celebrated by Muslims has over the years become synonymous with the day when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's big-budget films hit theatres. This year, Salman takes his Bhai (big brother) status literally in Fahad Samji's film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Throughout the film, Salman is either addressed as Bhai, Bhaijaan or simply Jaan. His character has no name, religion and cast do not bind him and he chants Vande Mataram before bashing goons double his size. He also recites proses fromthe Geeta to woo the girl of his dreams. He is the leader of a pack - which operates in set of threes. He has been a foster parent and overall big brother to three orphans, whom he calls his own. He has three friends, his tackles three villains...you get the drift?

His young brothers seem to operate together. They hang out together, fight together, get emotional at the same time about the same things, romance and go on dates together. So when the three brothers, (who also dress up similarly and have similar beards and cannot really be distinguished from each other) want to get married, their only hindrance is their elder brother, Bhaijaan. The man had apparently vowed never to get married or let his younger brothers marry as a woman can ruin their bond.

The three brothers decide to break that vow and find a girl for their Bhaijaan in order to settle down with their respective girlfriends. The yardstick is pretty simple, the girl should be called Bhagya, which was Bhaijaan's ex-girlfriend's name. Their wish is fulfilled when Bhagyalakshmi comes to their colony to stay for a month. She is an antique conservationist we are told but never really works. We do see her being friends with the three brothers and very strangely falling for the scruffy, unkept, long-haired, and nearly mute Bhaijaan because the bhais want them to hook up. She calls him Jaan, they fall in love over the course of two songs and soon realise that her family's life is in threat from a local goon in Hyderabad.
