Story: Sorry Bhai is the story of two brothers – Harsh (Sanjay Suri) and Siddharth (Sharman Joshi) and the common love of their lives - Aliya (Chitrangada Singh). Harsh is a businessman in Mauritius, who is devoted to work while Siddharth is a shy, scientist who hopes to prove his theory to the world, and who also happens to be a mamma's boy.

Well the story goes like this - Harsh informs his parents (Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani) about his plans of getting married to his lady love - Aliya (Chitrangda Singh) in a month's time. ,He requests them to come to Mauritius for the wedding and urges Siddharth to convice their mother to come. Mommy dear is very upset and refuses to go, but finally agrees after a lot of convincing by Siddharth.

On reaching Mauritius, Siddharth and father-in-law bonds well with Aliya , but mommy dear showers all her sarcasm and snide remarks on Aliya to vent her pent up anger. While Aliya tries to make friends with her mom-in-law, she ends up falling madly in love with Siddharth. To make things worse, Siddharth reciprocates the feelings.

Despite conscious efforts to avoid any uncomfortable situation, Aliya and Siddarth acknowledge the mutual feelings. Siddharth breaks the news to Harsh. As if this was not enough, mother dear makes Sidharth swear on her for not marrying Aliya - mamma's boy after all!

Obviously this leads to further mayhem in the family.

However, like all Bollywood films this one too ends on a happy note. And no one other than mommy the great who comes up with the novel and unique idea as an antidote!

Review: Ma kasam, what a movie sir ji! And believe me, you will say the same after you watch the movie.

A fun-filled romantic comedy that grips your throughout, a good storyline (except the Kasam factor), beautiful locations, and good performances, the movie is definitely a one-time watch. It also Chitrangada's comeback movie. She is very good blend of looks and acting..

My only question to the directors is - Why could they not find anyone better than Sharman Joshi for Chitrangada to madly fall in love with? Honestly, the movie would have been more convincing had it been for a more handsome hero luring the heroine than the existing choice.
