I don’t know what the filmmakers felt while making the film or even while watching the film in its entirety for the first time. Watching Teen Thay Bhai was certainly embarrassing to watch. And this is despite the film being devoid of sexual humor. Just watching three great performers going from one unfunny gag into another is extremely uncomfortable. You still remember Om Puri‘s brilliant performances despite some really awful scripts he’s picked; Shreyas Talpade doesn’t need to prove his comic timing anymore; and Deepak Dobriyal is someone who has graduated from smaller, indie films into a performer you look forward to, however tiny his role. And they have a perfectly funny situation laid out before them. They are 3 brothers who hate each other but are forced to spend time together. Unfortunately, the only few times you do laugh/smile is owing to the actors ‘rising above’ the script and lines they are handed. At other times, all you want to tell the makers is ok, we get the whole shirtless Salman mockery you are trying to pull, but it’s not funny just because Dobriyalis doing it.
