Bizarre brothers

Being Bhaijaan (2014)

Directed by Shabani Hassanwalia & Samreen Farooqui this is a documentary from India. We follow two super fans of Bollywood star Salman Khan.

What starts off as a pretty innocent look at those obsessed with a film star takes a turn when it reveals some of bizarre/darker views the subjects have on women and sex. While the subject matter of the film is narrow and the run time short this film does give a good window into both modern India and cult of cinematic masculinity there. I found this to be a really interesting lens to look at life in India through.


4/5
