You know what to expect from a David Dhawan film ? Time Pass comedy which in other words means entertaining.
Main Tera Hero is a better off than some of recent ones which includes disasters like Rascals, Do Knot Disturb and Chashme Buddoor and no where close to the ridiculous Chor Machaye Shor.
Main Tera Hero is a Varun Dhawan film from start to end. He lights up the screen from start to end. Boy, he has talent and he can become the next Govinda if he focuses on his performances.
There is nothing much in story and its a series of gags after gags. I enjoyed Anupam Kher's character of a Don whose voice echoes because he was born in a hill station. Or Salman playing God.
However, I wish the story had a bit more for Varun Dhawan to showcase his talent. The dialogues could have been more crisp. The music is peppy.
Arunodhay Singh plays his part well while Shakti Kapoor is wasted. Among the women, Nargis Fakhri is surprisingly good while Illena is lost. My word to Illena, after Barfi, avoid films like these otherwise no one will take u seriously in the future.
So, David Dhawan is slowly improving but needs to get his magic back and make classics like Deewana Mastana and Hero No. 1 again.

Main Tera Hero (MTH) is a glittering vehicle for star son Varun Dhawan to drive, which he does with practiced panache. However, even more than Junior, MTH has his dad David Dhawan stamped all over it. The plot is familiar Dhawan territory - one boy, two babes, a mansion and many clowns - but with new landmarks, from plunging bikinis to lip-glossed kisses, thrown in. Those seeking movies with meaning, note - Main Tera Hero is a pav bhaji picture, quick, spicy, hot. It has the depth of a comic strip but it also has its neon-shaded fun. For those who want a light laugh, here's your boy. On the whole, MAIN TERA HERO is a wild, wacky, madcap entertainer that has the unmistakable stamp of the master of entertainers -- David Dhawan. An over the top plot, humor quotient and performances are three aces the film stands on. The film should work well with admirers of typical Bollywood masalathons, also because Varun Dhawan pulls off the act with flamboyance and bowls you over with an uproarious act in this zany entertainer. Go, have fun and laugh out loud!
Main Tera Hero. Father David Dhawan casts his son Varun Dhawan as a typical Bollywood hero in his typical romantic cum slap stick comedy. The end result is average because although Varun tries hard to replicate the Govinda (David Dhawan's favourite in old times) effect but because the story seems just a forced attempt to keep Varun in spotlight. Varun's charm works using his naughty face and well shaped body. Heroines are there to just smile on the smartness of our hero. Both Ileana and Nargis fall short of putting any sincere effort in their comic timings. However surprisingly Arunoday Singh does well in comic scenes while essaying the role of the typical manly villain who wants the heroine at any cost. Side characters played by likes of Anupam Kher and Saurabh Shukla are descent. I am going with not bad 6 out of 10 for Main Tera Hero. Watch it on a lazy day when you don't want your mind to do any work.
In the 90's David Dhawan and Govind teamed up together to entertain us with the best of bollywood madcap comedies. These movies had the same logic as the Tom and Jerry cartoon shows, u wanna watch u better give your brain a rest-the movies were entertaining and provided a good laugh as long as you ignored the fact that what was happening on the screen was just non stop nonsense, but what the hell, you were being entertained and you were not being bored and you are stress free.
Years later today, David Dhawan brings his son Varun Dhawan with a similar mad cap comedy which catapulted Govinda to stardom. You have the same jarring colors, the same brainless heroines and a villain who is never to be taken too seriously and above all MEIN TERA HERO has good music, the tapori kind which Govinda excelled at dancing to.
Seenu (Varun Dhawan) is an older version of Dennis the menace and when he is rejected in marriage by an obese girl because he is not a graduate, he embarks on journey from Ooty to Banglore to get a Degree.
On the way he bashes some goons who try to eve tease some girls and establishes himself as a hero material and not just a comedian.
He joins a college and woos Sunaina (Ileana De Cruz-with bad makeup) who is in fact being stalked by a police officer Angad (Arunodhay Singh), who bashes any guy who even talks to his girl.
Seenu outwits Angad and takes off with Sunaina, only to witness her being kidnapped. Angad informs him that the kidnapper is Vikrant (Anupam Kher) an international Don located in Bangkok. Vikrant's Daughter Ayesha (Nargis Fukhrey-with bad acting skills) is in love with Seenu and so her father had Sunaina kidnapped to blackmail Seenu to marry Ayesha.
The movie then heads for a roller coaster ride with laughs galore including a rather funny shiv bajan tuned to the music of badtameez dil.
Varun Dhawan is confident and carries himself well and you can see sparks of Govinda in him in most of the scenes.
Arunodhay Singh is funny with a poker face and gives a good performance, especially the anger management scene is one of his best in the movie.
Ileana De Cruz would take the award for the worst makeup of the year. The girl was good in Barfi, but gives a kind of kindergarten school kid stage show performance.
Nargis Fukhrey with the weird accent tries hard to perform, but drops her act midway and joins Ileana as why the hell do I have to act, when I can expose attitude.
Anupam Kher is the highlight of the movie, the don who says the word in his every sentence thrice because he was from a "Pahadi Ilaaka".
Music by Sajid-Wajid replicates the Anu Malik style of music, the songs are fresh, foot tapping and energetic. The PALAT song says it all.
Kudos to David Dhawan for bringing the colorful comedies of yore back.
If you love tom and jerry, you would love this movie too-please do not forget to leave your brain behind when you set off to watch this.

They turned a pretty fun college love drama into a house drama that if I wanted to see the extremely (and I mean extremely) obvious turns with Nargis liking this guy oh now she likes him and so on and so forth. While De Cruz and Nargis are so hot and De Cruz acted well as the awesome college girl and Nargis as the dumb blonde (she's not blonde but that's what it felt like). If your interested in laughs, weird talking God statues, ok romance and decent acting then this film is for you. Oh and this movie had a kick a*s sound track that's original, Arjit knocked it out of the park.
