Hello Brother

Hello Brother is a 1999 Indian comedy film directed by Sohail Khan and stars Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Arbaaz Khan. The movie is about a man named Vishal, played by Salman Khan, who is a truck driver that leads a simple life with his two sisters until a deadly accident takes place, and he loses his life. However, his soul returns to Earth in the body of a wealthy businessman, coincidentally named Raju, who is murdered shortly after Vishal's arrival.

Raju has an older brother, Ghani, played by Arbaaz Khan, who is the head of a criminal gang. At first, Ghani thinks that Raju is Vishal, but after a series of misunderstandings, he realizes that Raju is a different person. Together, the two brothers decide to take revenge on the people who murdered Raju, sending their souls to Hell.

In the process, they encounter a beautiful woman named Pallavi, played by Rani Mukerji, who is Ghani's love interest. Raju falls in love with her and decides to impress her by pretending to be wealthy. Meanwhile, Vishal's soul is still on Earth and is attached to his dead body. He turns into a ghost and starts haunting his family and friends.

The story is a typical Bollywood masala film that combines comedy, romance, and action. The movie has several musical numbers, which are catchy and entertaining. The chemistry between the lead actors is fantastic, and they deliver excellent performances.

Salman Khan, who plays two roles in the movie, is at his best. He perfectly depicts the contrast between the simple truck driver and the sophisticated businessman.
