Hero

"Khota hai, par mera hai" Aditya Pancholi correctly said for Sooraj.

'Hero' starts with a heavily tattooed Sooraj (Sooraj Pancholi) flexing his muscles and thrashing the goons, one by one or all of them at once. The villain also says "Hero ki tarah entry maarta hai, khud ko Hero samajhta hai kya". Now you can have an idea, what are you going to watch for next 125 minutes? It is the remake of "Hero" which made Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri stars overnight, it was Subhash Ghai and it was also 1983. Then the love story, dialogs, action scenes, melodrama and villains were not clichéd, but now these are truly are, but it has a soulful music.

It has been three decades and we are watching same thing with different star cast, high voltage action sequences, a muscular protagonist and Athiya Shetty.

Screenplay does not offer anything but clichés, cheesy dialogs, every frame is predictable, forced comedy and but it has some unpredictability too, that is the songs, because songs can come at whatever time. Nikhil Advani thought- "We don't have anything to show, let us insert a song" this way he has inserted six songs. Writing is poor and it does not give a scope for any character to behold the story.

Sooraj could have done better if he had concentrated on his acting than musculature, he used all the screen time arching his muscles and doing death defying action scenes, at one point he escapes a bullet as a bicycle comes in front from nowhere. Athiya Shetty screen presence is bad and her acting too. Sooraj and Athiya speak Hindi doing a weird accent which does not exist, when we speak Hindi.

Tuigmanshu Dulia has been wasted and looks indifferent, other casts have nothing good to do.

I think Nikhil Advani was in haste as he has to release another movie too because his direction was really bad.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete should be the name of the movie.

Not recommended.

Sooraj pancholi should be thrown into jail for even daring to think that he can act and waste other people's money and time

One of the major strength of original Hero, is its magical music, which is still far far better than this Hero tracks. It seems that either creative team was reluctant or confused while making this flick. Story wise, I could not understand it. Screenplay fetch irritating comedy and out dated love scenes, like male protagonist offers Jacket to female, that is in a club!!! Girl says that "Main Kabhi Akele Khana Nahi Khati" so that boy can join her!!! I didn't get the point, why she started loving him, perhaps for his six packs!! Oops eight packs. I.G whispers in criminal ear but just then pours water on his face in front of every one. What a contradictory behavior!? Film starts with typical super star type fight scene and a dance number. Any actor earns superstardom by time not by showing off. Girls brother sees that her sister is not on gun point or any forceful manner, she is riding as pillion then why did he not prefer to announce on P.A to inform her sister and clear all confusion, just because it has to be interval point!? Film moves to different locations just for showing the beauty of locations not for the requirement of script. You can easily find the bruise mark on male protagonist face, changing places and intensity in song "Khoya Khoya Dil". They took care about bruise mark at least but just forgot about gun shot. Movie is already slow and pre climax makes it just crawling. Performance wise Sooraj Pancholi as Sooraj is as flat as he could have been. Speaking lines is his only performance. Surprisingly Athiya Shetty as Radha looks beautiful in some frames and acts well too. She has a spark. Tigmanshu Dhulia is very good as I.G. Vivaan Bhatena as Ranveer Shekhawat is a damn good actor. Rare combination of good physique with apt performance. Music wise "Yadad Teri Yaddiyann" is melodious.

Why do every star-kid believes that it is his/her fundamental, God- given right to become an actor? Both Sooraj Pancholi & Athiya Shetty fizzle out, deliver a sub-standard performance which should never have occurred.

The only saving grave of the movie is the intense confrontation between Aditya Pancholi and Tigmanshu Dhulia.. except that, the movie sucks.

Completely illogical concept and logic of the screenplay. Even if I assume that the targeted audience of this movie is a 17-year old kid, there is no way you can show Mumbai to Kashmir journey completed in 2 hours or a bullet wounded guy, slipping into a fast flowing river, emerging with nothing but 2 cuts on his arms!

The cliché:' Ek gunda kabhi IG ki ladki se pyaar nahi kar sakta' was repeated so many times, that it was cringe worthy actually. Dialogues are the worst part of this movie.

And Salman bhai's hangover on the whole movie was actually way too much.. his song is played after every 10 minutes, and his style of action, dialogue delivery and antics is visible all the way to the end. As if Nikhil Advani had only been appointed as an obligation.

Disappointing movie.. If you want to retain the magic of the original 'Hero', then don't watch it. 1.5/5

Really don't know what is wrong with Salman ? movies do not ride safe just on his name or a song that he sung. Movie cannot run if he just says lies after lies, few are as below.

1) Sooraj will replace me ? come on Salman, he has to live may be million years more to come close to you 2) I have involved in frame by frame making of this movie - top most lie, and if it's not lie then this should be his last attempt to get involved into film making

This film is so lousy along with it's hero that that lady man Heropanti's hero look legend against Sooraj.

Tigmashu Dhulia - please stop acting, if you have not noticed your facial expression remained same all along the movie. You should stick to making Saheb Bivi & Gangster movie where you direct good actors unlike you.
