For the longest time, I refused to watch "My brother... Nikhil" because I knew it would linger on much after the movie ended. I knew the sort of impact it would have on me. The movie released when I was 14 years old and I remember listening to the song 'Le chale' and feeling SO SAD. I did not, however, watch the movie then. 16 years later, at the age of 28, I watched this movie and OH MY GOD. I am glad I waited to watch the movie till a time I could fully understand what it meant. I personally felt every single emotion each character of the movie felt. When Nikhil was humiliated in the police station and then left isolated in the sanitorium, I felt the anger, the sadness, the depression, the helpless/hopelessness Nikhil's character must have felt. I felt.. the sadness.. when Anu, Nigel and Sam met Nikhil for the first time in the sanitorium. I felt.. the hope the characters must have felt when they met with a competent lawyer to take Nikhil's case. Finally, the scene.. of Nikhil's death.. the conversation between Nigel and Anu, the scene between Nigel and Nikhil.. every single minute of the ending scenes .. the emotions were so strong.. and emoted so well by the actors. This is a 100000 stars movie. Sanjay Suri as Nikhil in the titular role and every other actor in the supporting roles like Juhi and Purab Kohli .. mind blowing! I wish this movie had released today.. in 2020. I am sure it would've been a roaring hit!
