Kumal and Sangha are tiger cub siblings in the wilds of French Indochina. It is 1920, and the cubs are separated when a hunter captures Kumal and sells him to a circus. Sangha is given to the son of a French colonial administrator and raised as a pampered pet. One fateful day, Kumal and Sangha are pitted against one another in a public fight, but the two brothers evade a gruesome death and escape, starting a journey home. Jean-Jacques Annaud achieved incredible international success with his similarly themed The Bear. Unlike that film, however, where the bear was always treated like a wild animal and never sentimentalized, the tigers of Two Brothers are endowed with almost human motivations that play out in an old-fashioned melodrama. With the aid of some carefully utilized CGI, the two tigers are astonishingly photographed and lend this heart-warming story of the bonds of family and friendship added impact.
