Christian Brothers (film)

Christian Brothers is a 2011 Indian Malayalam language action thriller film directed by Joshiy and written by Udayakrishna and Siby K. Thomas.

The film stars Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep and R. Sarathkumar in titlular roles with an ensemble supporting cast.

[citation needed] Palamattathu Varghese Mappila is a generationally wealthy man and retired captain from the Indian Army.

Christy is currently working as a high-profile police informant and as a secret agent of the Central Government in Mumbai.

Joji left to Italy to study theology, but he travels to London and later opts out after he falls in love with Meenakshi, the daughter of State Home Minister Sudhakaran.

Kunnel Kumaran Thampi, a ruthless liquor baron wants to usurp the land for the construction of a resort, where he kills Kochu Thoma for his incorruptible obstinacy and orders to dump his body in a quagmire with his car, where he sets to find the documents.

Christy happens to run into a cat and goose chase when Georgekutty was targeted by Karim Lala's men.

After few hours, the cops learns that Georgekutty is murdered, where they arrest Christy through the assistance of Joseph Vadakkan who is handling the case.

But Christy escapes from the custody and hides in the Minister's house, to find the real culprit and prove his innocence in front of Varghese.

After Vinod and his friends burned his passport, he revealed everything to Georgekutty and seeks help from him to convince her about the plan her father had made to separate them.

During the chaos, Thampi reveals the fate of Kochu Thoma, which is later told to Christy by a terribly wounded Varghese.

Enraged about Varghese's plight and the murder of his loving uncle, Christy and Joseph goes to take revenge on Kunnel Kumaran Thampi.

Following the interests from stars, exhibitors and theatre-owners, the film was given a clearance despite its budget, which was many times the restriction set by the association.

[22] Neethu Reghukumar of Bangalore Mirror gave a positive review and said, "The much-anticipated Christian Brothers proved to be worth the wait.

Despite having the luxury of actors like Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep and Sarath Kumar together in the movie, Christian Brothers turns out not to be a disappointment.

"[24] Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com stated, "Christian Brothers is a typical multi-starrer that is made with an eye at the box office with not much depth in the subject.

"[25] Sify.com's reviewer rated the film as a "Racy Entertainer" and stated, "Christian Brothers is a loud and high voltage thriller, for which you don't have to use your brains much.

It could have definitely been more enjoyable if it was shorter by some twenty minutes or so, but even in the current form it could make you smile as the end credits start rolling.
