Mert Baykal directed the 2017 Turkish comedy Kardeşim Benim 2 ("My Brother 2"), the sequel to Kardeşim Benim (2016). It reached cinemas on 24 November 2017 through UIP and drew about 573,000 viewers. It is a road comedy in which a brotherly bond is put to the test.

The story begins when two famous brothers, Hakan (Burak Özçivit) and Ozan (Murat Boz), go to the Aegean to pay a last duty to their friend Tato (Ferdi Sancar). Tato has died, and, oddly, Hakan's own wedding is only two days away. He is to marry Didem (Pınar Deniz), the daughter of Muzaffer (Engin Şenkan), a prominent tea merchant from Rize, who opposes the match because Hakan is a famous singer. Even a funeral does not calm things down: the brothers end up on a journey from the Aegean to Central Anatolia, across a border and finally to the Black Sea. With them is Leyla (Leyla Feray), who is running from her brothers and her fiancé. Will the brothers' bond, and Hakan and Didem's love, survive the pressure?

The cast also includes Korhan Herduran (Basri), Hakan Karsak and Sezgi Mengi. Zafer Külünk wrote the screenplay. Burak Özçivit and Timur Savcı produced it for Taff Pictures, with music by Cem Öget.

Through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

It is a road comedy: two brothers, a funeral, a wedding. There is love and adventure too, and it seems to have a light feel. It can be watched comfortably with teenagers. The story does start with a death, though, which may feel odd to very small children. A nice follow-up for fans of the first film; for those who did not like it, little will change.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Kardeşim Benim 2 touches an interesting social line through the distance between a famous singer and the father of the woman he wants to marry: Muzaffer, a tea merchant from Rize, objects to his future son-in-law being a singer. This friction between profession, fame and the idea of a suitable family becomes the comedy's raw material. The journey from the Aegean to the Black Sea also gives an excuse to tour regional differences in a light tone. But the film seems to use that richness for fun and move on rather than deepen it.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A journey that starts with a funeral and runs from the Aegean to the Black Sea; road films are lively by nature, so pace should not be a worry. But about 115 minutes is a bit long for a comedy, and when the brotherhood, wedding and escape threads pile up, the rhythm may sag. Do not come expecting action; it is more of a situation comedy. Enough for those who want changing scenery, too light for anyone after tension.
