<br />
==Plot==<br />
Teen Thay Bhai is the story of 3 brothers separated for many years and reunited by their grandfather's will.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/The-MOUNTAIN-Story/748062/|author=Indian Express|title=The MOUNTAIN Story|date=24 February 2011|work= The Indian Express|accessdate=24 February 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story starts with an introduction of three brothers. The eldest Chixie Gill ([[Om Puri]]), is a small-time shop owner with 3 obese daughters whom no one wants to marry and a nagging wife (whom he would like to send back to her parents house). He dreamed of opening a big cloth store in his younger days but their grandfather was not ready to sell their village land for the money needed. The middle brother, Happy Gill ([[Deepak Dobriyal]]) is a dentist who has only one diagnosis for any tooth ailment, shifting pain. As a result, he has no patients but a long line of creditors (whose teeth he has removed more than once). He wants to get rid of all his debts and open a big dry-cleaning shop. He was in love with Gurleen Kaur ([[Ragini Khanna]]) in his younger days when they got separated. The youngest, Fancy Gill ([[Shreyas Talpade]]) is an aspiring actor who wants to go Hollywood, but only gets roles in Punjabi cinema, where his habit of putting in disco and English dialogues leads to him being thrown out quite often.<br />
<br />
On the death of their grandfather, by the requirement of his will, they need get together for 3 years on the day of his death anniversary before midnight at the cabin. If not, the property around the cabin (worth crores of rupees) will be forfeited. Also every year one of them has to take care of their grandfather's ashes starting from the eldest and pass it on to the next younger on that day. For the much needed money, they somehow manage to make it through two years, but the last year holds a lot for them. Snowstorms, trespassers, foreign babes with drugs etc. bring them close to each other and make up their differences.<br />

===Casting===<br />
According to [[Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra]], "Omji, Deepak and Shreyas suited the roles perfectly. Given the age difference, the eldest brother is a fatherly figure. And their chemistry, or the lack of it, becomes pivotal for the story to be told."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Production-is-like-mothering-a-movie/Article1-659540.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110210012616/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Production-is-like-mothering-a-movie/Article1-659540.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 February 2011 |author=Hindustan Times |title='Production is like mothering a movie' |date= 7 February 2011 |work= Hindustan Times |accessdate=7 February 2011}}</ref><br />
