Recently, Salman Khan starrer – Kisi Ka Bhai Kis Ki Jaan – hit the theatres. But, unfortunately, the movie miserably failed at leaving the audience or critics impressed. Many people took to social media to share their disappointment.
From calling it illogical to cringe-fest to terrible, many people called out Salman Khan’s movie as a sheer waste of time. While reviewing the movie Hindustan Times wrote, “Loud and senseless, Salman Khan’s cringefest makes you say, ‘stop it, Bhaijaan’”
Indian Express called the movie boring! While reviewing the movie, the critic wrote, “ A tired, unimaginative amalgamation of every Salman Khan version” Even TOI called the movie dull. While reviewing the movie, the critic wrote, “Bhai’s mighty punches land on a dull plot… The first half tests your patience with scenes that intend to be funny, but are not. The loud performances don’t help much. The story simply doesn’t kickstart until the interval.”
While Salman Khan’s KKBKJ disappointed many, these hard-hitting OTT shows and movies of 2023 are the saving grace.
