Heroes Reviews

A good concept-Told Brilliantly

Samir Karnik- Does any one remember Kyon Ho gaya Na and Nanhe Jaisalmer? With such a stong lineup of cast, the expectations were high and must tell, was not dissapointed. A novel concept very aptly handled.Screenplay,Music,Editing,Direction all A Grade. Entire cast was very good in their brief appearance and Priety, Salman Khan and Mithunda were the best among all. Special mention, Master Dwij Bhardwaj. There are certain moments which can give you goose bumps and moist eyes and the director can get full marks for that. Talking of the performances, Sohail Khan looked misfit for the roll as he seemed too old for the character and he cant carry off an emotional scene too well. Sunny Deol again was at his natural best ( avoid the tiles breaking scene). Overall a good story told brilliantly. Samir has moved into the big boyz league with this movie.

DEAD DISHONOURED DEMEANS BY THE DUMBO

Director: Samir Karnik

Cast: Mithun Chakraborty, Preity Zinta, Sunny Deol, Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Riya Sen, Sohail Khan, Vatsal Seth, Hrishita Bhatt and Amrita Arora.

Reviewer: Dr Usman Khawaja



This is huge freak out as it is a requiem for the Bollywood heroes as well as a maladjusted bereavement reaction for the war martyrs of Indian army.

It is also a huge speech full of terrible dialogues dressed as patriotic philandering which leave you hilarious with an abject affect and baffle you to as where and when will the drama appear and the sermon stop.

It also has Sunny Deol as the Indian ninja playing a double amputee who is a war hero and victim living in a mansion with a Shilpa Shetty lookalike girl friend Hrishita Bhatt and beating the hell out of the army of foreign white villains who try to ravage his girl in a Punjabi disco in Chandigarh, that he beats 50 boys all alone, without both legs is no surprise, I think he could beat the Tamil tigers blind folded.

Mithun plays the frustrated Mr.Naqvi who had a son who went to war as a good Indian Muslim and died while recording his great sacrifice on an audio-tape himself.

Mr Naqvi also likes to play baseball in Chandigarh, while his wife plays bridge in a club to forget her sorrows.

I have never seen anything so lugubrious, tell-tale and minus sympathy which reduces the state of poor bereaved families of the war dead to a jocular inanity.

It is a true travesty and mocking the sorrow of those people to dress this with 2 non-actors as an Indian remake of Gael Bernals Motorcycle Diaries while the 2 boys pursue an adventure on 2 modern bikes and a canon webcam in a kind of horror war docu-drama with infantile acting, overtly bad direction and monologues for dialogues which last 5 minutes in the least form.

Mithun plays Mr. Naqvi and there is a kohl adorned Salman Khan who has a kid with Miss Zinta, who weeps all the time like it was monsoon in India-do not worry Salman has a double identity-he pops back in the most hilariously bad scene of the year.

A hilariously bad exorcism of Bollywood heroes reduced to zeroes.

Rating: ONE STAR

PS. I have taken this 2 review usman khawjas blog new york times- some people used to say that usman khawaja only write good thing for mithun movies-just to show that usman khawaja and my self we dojt write good things about mithun movies too.. heroes mithun is crap..

Read the review and post valuable coments.

     OVERALL RATING - 3 HALF

I  had gone to the China border in sikkim a few years ago ,  there it was unbearably chilly , all the tourist were shivering & shaking . but even in that kind of climate there were some superheroes who were standing there  like rocks or statues firm without even a nerve that could show a sign of chill that we mortals were feeling & physically experiencing – these superheroes were our army man . a year later  the kargil war had started in condition pretty  similar to china border or maybe even in more exhausting conditions . in this war we lost many of such superheroes , heroes is about 3 such people & also the awakening of a youth generation who is not keen to accept army as a profession .

      The story is of 2 good for nothing youngsters essayed by sohail who is good in the funny scenes where he has become a pro at but is slightly awkward in the emotional scenes & the efficient & talented vatsal seth  who comes up with an honest performance . as a result of their failing their graduation , they are asked to make a graduation film , the topic they choose is –why should u not join the Indian Army? They are  given 3 letters by a war journalist who had received this from 3 army officers who had sacrificed their lives in the kargil war . thus starts their quest for making their graduation film as well a journey of their self realization .

     The first story  is the family of balkar singh essayed by Salman  Khan in his finest ever work of acting (yes he can act) , he gets the voice modulation , diction all right , his family is supported by the strong & resilenr woman  Priety Zinta –the best performance of the movie . infact tis story is the best of the movie & there are some beautiful moments in this part esp the boys realizing that they are near the border & surprised to see that  just a normal fencing separates the 2 similar looking countries . right from the beginning to &  this part , the film entertains u & u expect an even more entertainment in the next 2 stories . your expectations from the movie exceeds a lot . but it is here where Samir karnik fails .

     In trying to add bollywoodish moments in the next 2 karnik messes it up . the 2nd story of the doel brothers in fact is the weakest of the entire film . there is no problem of the over –the top fighting that sunny does in he movie as  a large part want 2 see him doing that . but as a story it does not create any effect . add to that is sunny shouting which does not help either & the song was not needed at all .the mithun track too wasn’t needed either as it looked forced & makes tem vie unnecessary long . ideally the mother track should only have been kept as this is the most heartwarming moment in the 2nd half . this small part essayed by the brilliant Prateksha Lonkar is the savin grace in an otherwise boring part . the last scene in the movie is the last nail in the coffin as it was unnecessary & unintentionally funny . Where Karnik also goes wrong is the use of excessive melodrama in the movie & a certain amount of loudness instead of restraint & subtlety which was the need of the movie , this was exactly where he went wrong in his last movie nanhe jaisalmer as well .  

           Even with these problem one has to credit Karnik for his choosing of an original subject instead of copying a foreign movie . he has also extracted good performances from everyone & cast big stars in roles that they have n ever done before , his biggest credit is that he has made non actors perform well . he has b een backed by some good cinematography capturing the beauty of siachen to punjab perfectly & some foot-tapping music as well .

    At the end of it all Heroes is the story of the men who guard us & lose their lives while doing it & the after effects it has on their families who in fact get another generation ready to join the army . ffor choosing something like this the makers need to be lauded & awarded . well done .

Well After A Long Time I Have Really Shaken By The Film, Last Time I Was Shaken By Strong Hurricane Called Rang De Basanti, And Now Its Heroes.

Film Has Already Created So Much Curisity Among Us That I Was Dying To See This Movie & The Final Outcome Of The Film Is Outstanding & Simply Rocking.

The Story That Everyone Knows About 2 Young Film Makers Who Get A Assignment Why Not To Join Indian Army.

Watch This Movie As I Have Seen A 100% Must Watch.

I Dont Want To Reveal Much 4 This Movie As Its a Path Breaking Film. I Really Mean It.

Salman Khan Ooooooooomph He Is Rok Solid What A Performance, Two Thumbs Up.

Sunny Deol After A Long Time He Has Dilieverd A Superb Performance A Must Watch 4 Die Hard Fan Of Sunny, See His Punches, Kya Baat Hain Sunny Paaaji U R G8.

Vatsal Seth Superb, Sohail Khan Xcellent No One Could Carrry His Role.

Mithun Da Is Legendary So I Cant Comment On His Performance He Is Superb.

Preity Zinta She Diserved Full Praise 4 Her Strong Performance.

Dino Morea Is Also Good, Bobby Deol Has A Small Role But He Steals The Show.

Others Character Are OK.

If U Wanna Spend On A Good Movie Please Spend It On Heroes, Samir Karnik U Have Just Shook Me Up, After 2 Super Duds U Have Taken A Long Step, Hats Of 2 U.

Every One Please See This Movies Highly Recomandable. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Dont Even Think About Watching It Online Or Pirated U Will Surely Why We Say Mera Bharat Mahaan, A Must Watch. I Dont Have any Hope 4 Roadside Romeo As Just 35 People Were On The 1st Show, But Our Heroes Rock Solid Houseful.
