I think it is just a matter of time in which this movie was released , if this were released in 2015 to 2020 .
This movie could have done better.
Better then tiger zinda hai and all.

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 true to its title, especially with Sunny Deol playing the action hero. This is a the second Desi James Bond type movie that Sunny is doing (the first was Himmat in '96). The movie has an interesting direction, thanks to Anil Sharma, who directed the awesome patriotic action film, Gadar. Action in this movie is superb, especially the scene where Sunny falls 11,000 feet down and does not even get hurt (Sunny is known for doing his own death-defying stunts). I like that fight with that giant guy (I forget his name, but I know he is a famous wrestler) and the train climax. Amrish Puri is the greatest and most intriguing villain ever to hit the big screens, and only he could pull off his role as the ISI agent with élan (I do miss seeing him, but he will be remembered forever). (Only flaw was playing the same song repeatedly as it got annoying). The confrontation scenes between Amrish Puri and Sunny Deol are definitely worth watching. Anyways, there are twists and turns to keep you at the edge of your seat. Just sit back and relax and enjoy the movie!! Cheers!!
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.

Did you know
- TriviaSunny Deol jumped off an 11,000 feet tall peak for an action sequence in this film without using stunt double.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor chose to cut sight of strong and bloody bullet impacts to man's head and to man's arm, and clear sight of headbutt - all of which are singularly focused upon. Cuts made in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
