The Hero: Love Story of a Spy

The Hero is another one of Sunny Deols disaster movies. Sunny enjoys making movies, which he thinks he is loved by audience. Yes, but only people you know, not millions in the world. He once again beats up 100's of guys alone, When will he learn he is not Supermen. He does the amazing stunts with a big belly. He even out smarts the English Special services. I can go on discriminating this guy, but he will continue to make Flops. This was Priyanka Chopra's second film, where she didn't look pretty as usual. Maybe, because her role didn't demand this. Sadly, Priyanka couldn't save this film from being a SUPER FLOP. Preity is annoying and delivers a boring performance. Overall, this movie was awful and is a big waste of time.

The Hero is an Indian reincarnation of James Bond with none other than Sunny Deol. The reason I scored it a perfect ten is become it was my the first ever Spy Film. I remember watching this film when it was released in theaters. I was jusy 7 at that time. At that age, I didn't knew about Bond, Indo-Pak rivalry, Covert Spies or any other related thing and I just enjoy the movie experience.

THE HERO is one of the best spy thriller from india... right behind AANKHEN some 30 years ago, ironically that blockbuster starred SUNNY'S father megastar DHARMENDRA... THE HERO is technically as good as big hollywood productions, stunts are breathtaking, movie is highly entertaining and for all indians who like good movies this must be seen...

This dreadful film is a classic proof that a big-budget and innovative stunts cannot save a poor script. A director who just tries to collect many clichéd moments from different films in history cannot make a film good enough. A film cannot look new and fresh with advanced film-making when the dialogues are so ancient. A title like "The Most Expensive Indian Film Ever" cannot draw audiences to cinemas. This film was evidently treated like a good lure to make money. But happily it didn't work out. Sunny Deol stands there with no expressions. Preity Zinta may be the film's saving grace. She looks amazingly beautiful and manages to do the best of the otherwise bland role she was given. There is hardly a chemistry between Sunny and Preity, by the way. Priyanka Chopra cannot act to save her life in her debut role (thankfully she would later improve). The result is a disastrous, pretentious flick for children, who too will get bored at some point. Avoid.

Sunny does a good job. Politics are the only thing that stand between good and great. Pakistanis are not evil. Muslims are not evil. Kashmir is a land blighted as much by ISI as by the Indian Army.

That said, there were some problems with the plot. However, those used to Deol's fanciful movies will ignore this oversight.
