Heropanti

I give this movie 5 because this could have been a decent movie to watch. However, it was let down in more than one aspects and its a pity as this was the debut movie of 2 actors who did show potential.

So in this review I will highlight all the good things in the movie and how it was let down.

First the plot. Well as with most bollywood movies it followed the age old formula of arranged marriage vs love marriage. However, it did have some new perspectives which could have been interesting. However, the movie fails to develop on these perspectives and hence the plot feels a bit empty or shallow.

Second the acting. Though it wasn't exemplary I would say the actors weren't too bad. In fact Kriti Sanons acting was quite fine. However while Tiger shroff's acting wasn't all that bad, terrible dialogue and weird lost expression scenes marred his performance. In almost every scene he repeats a cliché stupid dialogue and I found myself doing a facepalm at each of those times. Plus the weird expression of love on his face...another facepalm.

Third and this is the part that impressed me, the action. Now surprisingly and as opposed to other over the top bollywood movies, the action sequences were good. The stunts were very authentic given the fact that Tiger Shroff is a martial artist.

Finally, the film is riddled with sudden cut scenes whereby you find yourself suddenly in a different scene without any indication or clue whatsoever. Furthermore, at several places the music seems so out of place an awkward.

Overall, I believe in an attempt to make the movie over melodramatic with terrible cliché dialogues and awkward music cuts the director spoiled what could have been a decent movie. But do watch it for the action.

When i first saw the trailer of the movie i thought that Tiger shroff is trying to ape salman khan but no he isn't trust me you can watch this movie for Mr.shroff alone .He carries the whole movie on his shoulders .He is the best thing that can happen to this movie .And i can say that this movie had a promising debut What is good about the movie ? Like i said tiger shroff is the soul of the movie .His dance,style and fights adds great attraction to the movie .He has the potential and can deliver hits .I think we will be hearing more of Mr.shroff .His versatility is praiseworthy . Music of the movie is fantastic .The script is pretty decent .But bollywood should stop relying on south Indian movie scripts What is bad about the movie ? Well apart from Mr.Shroff none of the actors deliver .Prakash raj did a convincing job but he needs to work on the dialog delivery .Kirti sanon has just been a pretty face in the movie and doesn't do much in the movie except for playing a damsel in distress . I would give this movie 7/10 one star for Mr.Shroff

Not too good,an average movie,this movie only for tiger fans and masala film lover

A remake of the 2008 Telugu film Parugu, 'Heropanti' is A Good Entertainer, that introduces two new-faces, Veteran Actor Jackie Shroff's Son Tiger & Kriti Sanon. And luckily, the new-comers pack a punch!

'Heropanti' Synopsis: When Renu (Sandeepa Dhar) runs away with her lover, her father Chaudhary (Prakash Raj) launches a manhunt to track them down and eliminate them. A livid Chaudhary soon discovers that Bablu (Tiger Shroff) is the man who has assisted the couple to elope & who also happens to be his daughter's lover's friend.

'Heropanti' is unabashedly aimed at the masses. Its an out-and-out commercial masala film, that offers everything that will be loved by the aam-junta. In short, a paisa-vasool entertainer, that aims for nothing else, but to entertain its viewer.

The Screenplay is interesting & well-paced, but there are a few shortcomings. While the first-hour moves with force, the second-hour is comparatively slow. The culmination, especially, is prolonged & doesn't leave much of an impact. Even the running-time for that matter of fact, could've been trimmed by at least 20-minutes. 146-Minutes seems a bit too long!

Sabir Khan has directed the film well. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing is fair. Action-Sequences/Stunts are tremendous! Music by Sajid-Wajid & Manj Musik, is fabulous.

Performance-Wise: Tiger makes an impressive debut. He's superb when it comes to doing action & dance. His impeccable flexibility & grace are impossible to ignore. However, his performance has a few rough edges. He certainly needs to work on his acting skills. But for a debut-performance, he shows potential. Kriti Sanon, also makes an impressive debut. She looks gorgeous & delivers a highly confident performance. Also, the on-screen paring of Tiger & Kriti, is exciting. Prakash Raj is first-rate. His emotional outburst in the second-hour, is brilliant. Sandeepa Dahr leaves a mark. Vikram Singh is effective in a brief role.

On the whole, 'Heropanti' works & welcomes two talented newbies - Tiger Shroff & Kirti Sanon.

All right guys & gals...Disclaimer : If you are the serious types, going to a movie theater or even downloading a movie from the internet which is again serious or has a lot of drama or too much romance or even too much of violence; Heropanti is not for you. Sabbir Khan (Director) has recreated a sort or late 80s-early 90s era in his 2nd directorial venture. His earlier movie; Kambhakkt Ishq was total CRAP. But Heropanti is a fantastic improvement. Direction, cinematography, choreography, music everything is good. This movie is a TTP {TOTAL TIME PASS} movie. When you enter the movie hall, you should leave behind all your worries of your life, go in with a clear mind & do not pay too much attention to small details. This movie has a lot to offer to the diversified audience. Action, Romance, Drama, Dance, Emotional Moments, Fantastic Music & a very attractive lead pair. This movie does have some sexist jokes which should be taken in a light manner as it is NOT gross or vulgar in any way. Plot is good, set in modern day Haryana. Although it is copy of the Telugu Film "PARUGU" (Veerta: The Power). See it for the amazing stunts done by Tiger Shroff, the utterly gorgeous Kriti Sanon, Prakash Raj in a different look than his usual gangster character. Emotions are also portrayed beautifully by Prakash Raj & Tiger Shroff. Overall, its a Bollywood entertainer with a fresh cast & good content. Go for it!!
