Family of Thakurganj Review: It’s a story of two brothers, who live in Thakurganj, a small town in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Both Nunnu (Jimmy Sheirgill) and Munnu (Nandish Singh) have different values and while one takes the law into his hands, the other sibling is sincere and law-abiding. After their father’s sudden death, Nunnu takes the responsibility of the entire family on his shoulders and soon becomes a famous goon called Bhaiya ji of Thakurganj. Both Bhaiya ji and his wife Sharbati (Mahie Gill) are successfully running the extortion business, too. Their life takes a turn when the violence happening all over the town starts affecting their personal lives. To deal with the situation, family can either be lawful or take the law into their own hands.
Writer Dilip Shukla’s story is quite average, the bigger problem here is that the plot which is weakly woven. But again, it’s the performances that will keep you hooked and not the narrative. Sheirgill nails it as the power freak goon and Sharbati (Mahie Gill), as Jimmy’s dominating wife, is convincing. Saurabh Shukla, as a goon and Supriya who plays mom to the boys, pull off fine performances.
With a decent concept at hand, had the director focused on keeping the story tight, it could have engaged the viewers. The film’s length is problematic, even the humour and the one-liners don’t help in keeping the film afloat.
