Heroine Movie Review

Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine hit the theatres this friday and is getting a mixed response from viewers. But, still Kareena steals the show by her superb acting and gorgeous looks and dress-ups.

Bebo's sexy style makes the movie worth a watch. The movie is directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, who is known for directing hard-hitting heroine oriented movies. Before this Bhandarkar had directed Fashion , Chandni Bar and Page3 which did a good business on the box-office.

Kareena plays the role of a lifetime and regarding her character in the film, she said that she was born to play this role. Her character, Mahi Arora is seen smoking or drinking or crying throughout the film. Her character is one-dimensional, self-destructive, and never happy. Kareena has given this character all, but audience will not be able to relate her to themselves.

Apart from Kareena, Arjun Rampal also does a decent job in the film. He plays the character of Aryan Khanna. His expressions are good and his role becomes more prominent and expressive in the second half. Aryan is a successful film actor and the boyfriend of Mahi Arora who later breaks-up with her.

Heroine seems to be promising but fails to deliver. Heroine only shows the dark side of bollywood - every person smokes and every actor seems to be pouncing upon new actresses. The movie is long and some scenes are unnecessarily included in the film. The script and story of the film are weak and fail to amuse the audience till the end. Overall the film is a disappointment and something better was expected from Madhur's high standard.

Our Take: 2.5 / 5
