Reviews

Hello Brother received mixed to positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 7.4/10, indicating generally favorable responses from movie lovers. Critics often praised Nagarjuna’s entertaining dual portrayal, highlighting his comic timing and charisma as major assets that kept the narrative engaging. The direction by E.V.V. Satyanarayana was lauded for blending action and humor effectively, though some reviewers felt the plot relied heavily on typical masala tropes without much originality. The soundtrack by Raj–Koti was well-received, with songs that became popular and added to the film’s vivacity. However, certain critiques pointed out that the screenplay occasionally lacked depth and coherence, which may not appeal to viewers seeking a more serious storyline. Overall, Hello Brother is considered a quintessential Telugu commercial entertainer of the 90s that thrives on its fun, spirited performances and energetic execution rather than a novel plot. It's particularly appreciated by fans of the star Nagarjuna and the genre’s blend of comedy and action.
