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.

I really am astonished by Bollywood for casting these stupid flicks even now. Same old same old. A street thug falls in love with a rich or influential girl whose daddy is of course, either a respectable man in society or an honest police officer.

The girl, obviously, does the same shitty deal again and falls in love with this thug (like it's a norm in the Indian society, phewww). Now they fight together to win their love. Love is in the air, the same shitty screens again. When will Bollywood grow up and people will stop wasting their money on these shits.

It's pathetic to watch, can't even stand for half an hour.

My advice to people who love meaningful movies, movies that really represent the true face of society, problems, real deals, please don't watch it. You'll feel like betrayed.

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.

The movie is below average. There is nothing in story.

A love story with fool and stupid heroine.

Who is villain in story is still confusing me. It could do better if they could have replaced heroine. But songs are nicely composed.

Lyrics are awesome. But for that you don't need to go theater. Hero's acting is nice. Action is nicely pictured. Dialogs are boring.

I could not recall a single dialog from it.

But it is still worth one time watch.

The film could have a better end.

Old movie was very nice. It has emotions and dramas and songs are still popular among youngsters.

Newcomers have a tough time staying afloat in the volatile entertainment industry. In 2020, when there will be no trace of either of the lead actors of this film, we can finally corroborate that the previous statement is, in fact, true.

After he's done with his theatrics, heroics, and groovy dance moves, Sooraj (Pancholi Jr.) is assigned the task of kidnapping the daughter (Shetty) of the city's Inspector General (Dhulia) by his gangster-turned-politician father (Pancholi Sr.) on grounds of political vendetta. Soon idiotic dialogs encapsulate the drama that has the power to put off its viewers, because in here arguments turn into long-winded sessions of romance, and kidnappers fool around with their captive. Just because the original villain is the real life father of the so-called hero of the film, he's not sent to the gallows at the end. But worry not, because we have some random villains kicking the bucket. It is basically a love story where the characters use words like "calculate" & "alt+shift+delete" to describe the situations. You now know what you're looking at.

Pancholi Jr. has a long way to go if he wants to stick to acting that is not solely driven by his toned body, and Shetty may want to check her options. Taking a French bath and screaming your lungs out is not considered acting. Dhulia is the only good man in the film which eventually drags the hell out to reach a point of stagnancy.

BOTTOM LINE: Hero has a tried and tested story, but the actors playing the characters are like a bunch of toddlers who are yet to grow milk teeth.

GRADE: F

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
