Express News Service Thank You Brother embodies every claustrophobic’s worst nightmare — getting trapped in an elevator — but the consequential terror is minimal, and its punches, barely effective. A remake of the Nigerian thriller, Elevator Baby, it doesn’t take much to figure out why the makers chose to remake it in Telugu. The original managed to strike the right proportion of exhilaration, humour, and most importantly, melodrama, deemed as the essential ingredient in the recipe of a Telugu film. The Nigerian thriller has the DNA of a quintessential Telugu film, and Ramesh Raparthi’s Thank You Brother succeeds in replicating the soul for most of the running time, and as a result, also ends up inheriting the tonal issues of the original.
