Bhai (meaning “Brother”) is a 2013 Telugu-language action comedy directed by Veerabhadram Chowdary and produced by Nagarjuna under Annapurna Studios with Reliance Entertainment. It stars Nagarjuna and Richa Gangopadhyay, whose last Telugu film it remains, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. It drew mixed to negative reviews.
Story
Bhai is the most skilled and trusted enforcer of David, a Hong Kong-based don, to the resentment of David’s sons. Sent to Hyderabad to eliminate an undercover police officer who is disrupting the gang’s business, he meets Radhika, a horticulturist who falls for him. When he finally tracks down the officer, Arjun, he discovers a family connection that turns his mission upside down.

The Brazilian model Nathalia Kaur and Hamsa Nandini each appeared in a song with Nagarjuna, and Zara Shah, known from Life Is Beautiful, joined the cast. Some sequences were shot at Predjama Castle.
Music
Devi Sri Prasad composed the five-song soundtrack, released through Aditya Music on 14 October 2013, which was well received.
Release and reception
