Prize-fighters David and Monty are bitterly estranged brothers - who wins when they face each other in the ring?
Review: So, Brothers is essentially Akshay Kumar's triumph, with some knock-out moments - and a few punches that fall flat. Gary Fernandes (Jackie) is a prize-fighter married to Maria (Shefali). They have one son, David (Akshay) - and then, Monty (Siddharth), born from Gary's extra-marital affair, appears.

Monty's mother passing on, the boy has nowhere to go. After turmoil, Maria accepts him into their home. David becomes Monty's protective big brother - but relationships shatter when Gary's drinking causes a tragic accident. The brothers bitterly split - only to face each other in a prize-fight years later.
Who wins this battle over body, soul - and memories?
Brothers features Akshay Kumar in one of his best roles. Sans his trademark twinkle, Akshay is grimly severe here, using tense muscles and intense silences rather than Gabbar Is Back-style bombast. With greying hair and soft, sad eyes, Akshay carries Brothers on his shoulders, meriting applause for a vulnerable, memorable performance.
The other performances are weaker.
Siddharth Malhotra remains an enigma wrapped in a mystery,
