Story: Set in the picturesque locales of Ooty, it is an official Indian adaptation of the BCC 2019 series Guilt. A man Samuel Alvarez (Asrani) has been knocked down and killed by two brothers Jaggi (Jaideep Ahlawat) and Daljeet (Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub) while they drive back home on a fateful night. Daljeet who was driving the car is taken aback, but he is determined to do the right thing by reporting the incident.
However his wealthy elder brother Jaggi who is a lawyer by profession forces him to leave as quickly as possible. Due to their differences of opinion the duo decides to lay back the body of who is terminally sick with cancer at his home (supposedly the house in front of where the accident occurred) and pretend as if it never happened. Later in order to cover up the crime their problems escalate.
Daljeet leaves his wallet at Samuel’s house and returns to the crime scene, where he encounters the deceased man’s niece Sophie (Tina Desai). Despite Sophie’s suspicions and belief that her uncle’s death was not natural, Daljeet overlooks this and starts mingling with her regardless of the consequences.
Jaggi on the other hand and intuitively perceives himself as a take-charge sibling, tries to ward off Sophie’s suspicions by recommending the services of unreliable and alcoholic private investigator Dushyant (Jitendra Joshi) who works in Jaggi’s office. At first, it appears to be a brilliant decision until Dushyant gives up booze and devotes his full attention to uncovering the truth.
Even Jaggi’s bored wife Priya (Shruti Seth) is baffled as to why both brothers have suddenly begun spending so much time together. She also befriends with Tanya (Mugdha Godse). There is nosy neighbor Sheila aunty (Maya Alagh) who keeps a close eye on what’s going on in the neighborhood particularly at Samuel’s house and she was the one who saw the murder and blackmailed. There is also don Handa (Satish Kaushik) whose money laundering work done by Jaggi. When everyone around them is becoming suspicious; then how can the brothers manage to walk out of this bloody mess.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I have watched the trailer of this series planned to watch in my free time as trailer looks good and Sunny Leone looks in completely different Avtar in this series.
Driving home late one night, two brothers, Jaggi & Daljeet run over an old man. Laying the body back in the Old man’s house they feel they have covered their tracks but when people suspect, the brothers’ lives falls apart. What follows is tale of twist & turns They realise they can trust no one. Will the Bloody Brothers get themselves out of this bhasad?
The warped camaraderie between the two brothers, the comedy of errors, doling out twists and the witty one-liners all contribute to the story’s success. Throughout the show, viewers are kept guessing as to whether the next line of dialogue will be serious funny or dipping in sarcasm. The plot is initially infused with a lot of humour (especially in the first two episodes) but as the story progresses and it takes on a more serious tone. While it starts off well, it quickly becomes exceedingly convoluted to the point where the climax falls flat.
Bloody Brothers comprises of six-episodes with a thread of a second season. Perhaps this is why the majority of the characters and their subsequent narratives add anything substantial to the story. Despite a few flaws, the show manages to strike a balance between the dark humour and the tense circumstances of a criminal cover-up and these brothers lives are a jumble that deserves a watch. My View on this web-series Recommended.
