Hero
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...offers bucketful of entertainment and victoriously conveys that commercial movies needn't be puerile to show people a good time.
-
...a breezy entertainer.
-
Despite a shoddy story line and a weak script, Hero will be worth your money. And it's majorly Sooraj and Athiya's earnest efforts that will set the ball rolling for the film.
-
Nikhil Advani had a hit story, a fresh young pair of actors at his disposal and he unfortunately chose the safe route of the same old, with all the commercial trappings intact.
-
...is below mediocre fare except for the lead pair's straightforward performances.
-
It appeals in very small measures and is not an ideal weekend entertainer.
-
It's an 80s film remade in 90s style. Tell me why this remake is necessary again?
-
New faces, but no value addition to the film, no new story.
-
This is lazy, indifferent filmmaking, and a colossal bore for most of its running time.
-
He has co-written the film’s screenplay and that’s where the film’s first major problem sits. The second is his direction.
-
...this photocopy with no plot tweaks seems little more than a tired effort.
-
Advani loses his grip and settles into autopilot mode.
-
Foolishly cast and strangely anachronistic, this remake of the 1983 classic Hero is a travesty.
-
This is a poorly-written film where the kids don’t seem to have any true allegiance to the parental figures or any consistent morality or conflict, even.
-
An ineffective remake of a 1983 box office hit mislabelled as a classic, Hero is yet another instance of the resilience of the ancient Indian tradition of nepotism.
-
...it ends a project so botched up just so that Sooraj Pancholi could show off his body and action skills, while Athiya could present her dancing skills. Hero is an example in irony!
-
Then who's the real hero of this 131-minute film? Salman Khan. Why? Haven't you heard his soulful number 'main hoon hero' yet?
-
Hero is a debut film that makes Saawariya and Student of the Year seem good movies. That says a lot about the film itself.
-
If you have the resources, filmmaking expertise, and an obvious passion for cinema, why not back good films that take us forward and not a hundred steps behind?
-
Could have been a frothy entertainer for teenagers but the bubble bursts mid-way.
-
...starts off as awful and ends as boring.
-
This ‘Hero’ is a zero.
-
It’s unlikely anyone in this day and age could have made a totally convincing film with material like this, but Hero is dragged down further by pedestrian writing, unremarkable music and patchy direction.
-
...dull dull dull.
-
This film is just an extended promo for two star kids of the industry who have got the backing from Salman Khan, Subhash Ghai and Eros International; not necessarily in that order.
