Palamattathu Varghese Mappila is a generationally wealthy man and retired captain from the Indian Army. He is a widower and has four children named Christy, Joji, Jessy and Stella. Varghese is entrusted with an important document pertaining to the transfer of vast amount of land, which was once granted to the Christian missionaries by his younger brother Thomas alias Kochu Thoma, a village officer. While Varghese was serving in the Army, his children were taken care by Kochu Thoma, who is unmarried, takes care of them and buries the absence of motherly affection and care. Christy is currently working as a high-profile police informant and as a secret agent of the Central Government in Mumbai. Joji left to Italy to study theology, but he travels to London and later opts out after he falls in love with Meenakshi, the daughter of State Home Minister Sudhakaran. Kunnel Kumaran Thampi, a ruthless liquor baron wants to usurp the land for the construction of a resort, where he kills Kochu Thoma for his incorruptible obstinacy and orders to dump his body in a quagmire with his car, where he sets to find the documents. Varghese lodges a missing petition with the cops regarding the prolonged disappearance of his brother. Meanwhile, Meenakshi's father learns her relationship with Joji and fakes a heart attack to make Meenakshi come back from London. When Joji finds out that she is going back, he joins her but her cousin Vinod and his friends burns his passport. While returning to India, Meenakshi gets kidnapped and the case is assigned to Christy due to his handling experience. To his shock, Christy learns that the kidnapper is Jessy's husband Georgekutty and recollects his past.

Past: Christy arrived at Mumbai to work as a senior manager in a bank, where he decided to spend some time with Jessy and Georgekutty who were also in Mumbai at the time. Unbeknownst to them, Georgekutty was a pimp, womaniser and a gangster, who is also involved in narcotics and extortion. Christy happens to run into a cat and goose chase when Georgekutty was targeted by Karim Lala's men. Georgekutty gave a gun to Christy, which he killed few goons during the fight. Christy was imprisoned as the gun carried his fingerprints. When Jessy learns this, she tries to inform Varghese, but Jessy is killed by Georgekutty. Georgekutty misleads the entire family into believing that Christy was the reason for Jessy's death. Since then, Varghese disowns Christy and considers Georgekutty as his elder son.

Present: Christy goes a building where Georgekutty has kept Meenakshi as a hostage and rescues her. After few hours, the cops learns that Georgekutty is murdered, where they arrest Christy through the assistance of Joseph Vadakkan who is handling the case. But Christy escapes from the custody and hides in the Minister's house, to find the real culprit and prove his innocence infront of Varghese. Joseph marries Stella while Christy attends the marriage in secret. Along with Joseph's help, Christy helps Joji and Meenakshi to get married. Later, Joseph tells Varghese about Christy's innocence in Georgekutty's and Jessy's death. They all return home and Christy reconciles with Varghese. Christy's friend Andrew Bandra, who was waiting to meet Georgekutty (Andrews was Karim Lala and he released Christy earlier when he was imprisoned in Mumbai) assisted him in escaping from prison. Soon, Joseph concludes that Joji is Georgekutty's murderer. Being questioned by Joseph, Joji reveals the truth. After Vinod and his friends burned his passport, he revealed everything to Georgekutty and seeks help from him to convince her about the plan her father had made to separate them. But, Georgekutty plays foul and bargained ransom with Meenakshi. Joji arrrives at the place and learned this after he saw Georgekutty's conversation with Christy. When Joji confronted Georgekutty, he reveals his true face and Christy's innocence. Angrily, Joji kills Georgekutty with Christy's gun, as he ruined their family and killed Jessy. Christy believed that what he did was right and decided to take the blame to save Joji. Varghese sees this and becomes very emotional. At this time, Kunnel Kumaran Thampi, along with his sons and goons barge into Palamattathu steal the property deed from Varghese's locker and hurriedly leaves after fatally shooting Varghese. During the chaos, Thampi reveals the fate of Kochu Thoma, which is later told to Christy by a terribly wounded Varghese. At the hospital, the doctors administer ventilator support to Varghese, as his condition is critical. Enraged about Varghese's plight and the murder of his loving uncle, Christy and Joseph goes to take revenge on Kunnel Kumaran Thampi.

Production

Development

The film was announced as a big budget film but the Kerala Film Producers Association had set a norm that no Malayalam film should have a budget of more than ₹3.5 crore. The association refused to give a clearance for the film's shoot. The producers stated that given the star-cast and the subject of the film, it is not possible to make it at a lesser budget. Following the interests from stars, exhibitors and theatre-owners, the film was given a clearance despite its budget, which was many times the restriction set by the association. [2]

Tamil actor Arjun Sarja registered a complaint with Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) about using his name and photographs in connection with the film without his consent or knowledge. [3] Arjun commented that no one has approached him to act in Christian Brothers and all this has happened without his consent or knowledge. [2] However, the issue was resolved when there came an official clarification that Arjun was replaced by actor Sarathkumar in the film. [4]

In February 2010, it was reported that the producers of Christian Brothers excluded actor Thilakan from the film at the request of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA), the predominant film technicians association. Thilakan had been earlier signed for the role played by Sai Kumar in the film. [5] On 3 February 2010, Thilakan publicly protested against the unofficial ban enforced on him by FEFKA. The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists issued a show cause notice to Thilakan for bringing the issue into the public domain. Thilakan accused AMMA, of which he too is a member. [6] Several political parties came out openly in support of Thilakan. [7]

Critical response

The film received positive reviews praising plot and the performances. [22] Neethu Reghukumar of Bangalore Mirror gave a positive review and said, "The much-anticipated Christian Brothers proved to be worth the wait. Finally fans have something to rejoice as he has made a rollicking start this year. Back in all elements, all steals the show, firing on all cylinders. However, at no stage the multi-starrer film does appear as a one-man show." [23]

M. Ashitha of Deccan Herald commented, "True, too many cooks spoil the broth. Despite having the luxury of actors like Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep and Sarath Kumar together in the movie, Christian Brothers turns out not to be a disappointment. The film, heavily depending on the star power, is a good entertainment." [24] Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com stated, "Christian Brothers is a typical multi-starrer that is made with an eye at the box office with not much depth in the subject. But you still get entertained." [25]

Sify.com's reviewer rated the film as a "Racy Entertainer" and stated, "Christian Brothers is a loud and high voltage thriller, for which you don't have to use your brains much. It could have definitely been more enjoyable if it was shorter by some twenty minutes or so, but even in the current form it could make you smile as the end credits start rolling. It's absolutely a no logic-popcorn fun and perhaps not meant to be taken too seriously." [26]
