So, if you missed it on the big screen, mark your calendars — Bromance begins streaming on SonyLIV from May 1, 2025. Expect a ride full of laughs, friendship, and brotherhood! Our verdict for the film We gave a 2.5-star rating for the film, and ETimes review reads, 'The story and the jokes don't work all the time and you are faced with quite a few cringe moments. All the actors have a good chemistry, but the characters are not strongly written and could get a bit annoying, like with Mathew's peculiar rage issue, which is taken over the top. And the second half seems to stretch endlessly. Govind Vasantha's music hits the right note for this youthful entertainer; the wedding song and the youth anthem could become a hit. On the whole, this is a film that could click with the youth.'
