First, think about the cleverly-done title -‘Teen Thay Bhai’ and we get ready to see what ‘once there were three brothers’ do. Then comes the banging tagline ‘Ek vasiyat 3 musibatt’, giving us a free hint that there is a side-splitting property crux to laugh our lungs out. But as the three brothers grow, as they timidly and actively show why they are here; the film loses its grip and becomes another predictable story of puerile fun.

Here come the three brothers, our trio protagonists from the Gill clan. Chixie Gill (Om Puri) – a toffee-nosed, unduly angry Punjabi businessman. Happy Gill (Deepak Dobriyal) – an excuse-armed dentist, who’s anything but happy and Fancy Gill (Shreyas Talpade) – an idiot with a fancy lifestyle who lives the dream of Hollywood ‘shahar’. They are brothers on paper, but more like enemies in practical life. No one can stand sight of the other. Definitely, they shouldn’t get together so that no disaster could happen. But as fate would have it, they meet, re-meet and then the unexpected happens.

There is a will that reconnects the Gills. The will is made by their Dadaji Chhatrapal Gill, who dies after leaving behind a huge property for the brothers. The money-looking bros set out to hand their share, but there’s is a crux, typical of any Hindi film. According to the will, the brothers can get their share of whopping money only if they can fulfil some strange clauses; such as they have to spend an entire night at an abandoned cabin with each other they hate most, along with their grandfather’s ashes. Add to this, this abnormal ritual has to be continued for three consecutive years. The last reunion proves to be unlikely for each of them when something surprising happens.

The story handling doesn’t grab any gripping attention. The actors don’t able to showcase their true performance; the only one who somehow manages to grab some limelight is Shreyas, whose one-liners come easy-flowing. The music is okay with no better elements. The film, if headlined properly, could have been a better watch. It has talented actors, a nice story idea, and an able producer. Still it goes nowhere of a quality film. To make it simple, Teen Thay Bhai (TTB) is a Total Tragic Boredom.
