Brother is a 2024 Indian Tamil-language comedy drama film written and directed by M. Rajesh, and produced by Sundar Arumugam under the banner of Screen Scene Media Entertainment lootherPvt.

The music was composed by Harris Jayaraj, cinematography was handled by Vivekanand Santhosham, and editing by Ashish Joseph.

After complaining about his apartment's condition, his neighbors confront his family, exacerbating his father's high blood pressure.

Anandhi's sister-in-law, Archana, secures him a job as a hospital bouncer, but Karthik is terminated for confronting a patient's relative about exploiting the elderly man's wealth.

Anandhi's father-in-law, Sivagurunathan IAS, District Collector of the Nilgiris, takes Karthik under his wing, tasking him with observation only.

Recognizing the collector's inaction, Karthik advises the villagers on a self-immolation threat, prompting Sivagurunathan to expedite the installation of electric fencing.

Dr. Vinay, who harbors one-sided feelings for Archana and seeks to leverage Sivagurunathan's influence, proposes marriage.
