Suddenly many filmmakers are trying to remake old films Now this film also is the launch of Sooraj Panscholi son of Aditya Panscholi who was in news for Jiah Khan's murder in real life and Athiya Shetty daughter of Sunil Shetty. The film created hype due to Salman Khan being the producer but it was a flop. The film is a remake of Subhash Ghai's HERO(1983) which made Jackie and Meenaxi stars and it's music is still famous. This HERO however falters badly. The film has nothing to offer, the original was no classic either but was watchable, this is nothing great and comes too late. Direction is nothing great Music is okay, except title song sung by Salman Khan none songs are goodSooraj Panscholi has good physique and shows potential but needs to work on his expressions and dialogue delivery Athiya Shetty is okay in her debut, she too shows potential Tigmanshu Dhulia is wasted, Aditya Panscholi plays his son's step father and is okay rest are okay

This remake of hero 1383 of jackie shroff is not better but its great..Enjoyed the film very much.By reading the reviews on IMDb i thought that the film is not worth to watch but my friends insisted me to watch this film and its damn great film.Its best film of 2015 after bajrangi bhaijaan and brothers.In my opinion i will ask u that you should go and watch this film. Sooraj (Sooraj Pancholi) is a gangster from Mumbai who meets Radha (Athiya Shetty), daughter of the city's Chief of Police. One day, Sooraj, under instructions from his gangster boss, Pasha (Aditya Pancholi), kidnaps Radha, in the guise of a police officer, by telling her that he received instructions from the police to take her away from city for some time. Later he confesses to Radha that he had kidnapped her. Radha has however fallen in love with Sooraj, and their love story creates problems for Pasha. What follows is a series of fights for the survival of their love story.

Why do every star-kid believes that it is his/her fundamental, God- given right to become an actor? Both Sooraj Pancholi & Athiya Shetty fizzle out, deliver a sub-standard performance which should never have occurred. The only saving grave of the movie is the intense confrontation between Aditya Pancholi and Tigmanshu Dhulia.. except that, the movie sucks. Completely illogical concept and logic of the screenplay. Even if I assume that the targeted audience of this movie is a 17-year old kid, there is no way you can show Mumbai to Kashmir journey completed in 2 hours or a bullet wounded guy, slipping into a fast flowing river, emerging with nothing but 2 cuts on his arms! The cliché:' Ek gunda kabhi IG ki ladki se pyaar nahi kar sakta' was repeated so many times, that it was cringe worthy actually. Dialogues are the worst part of this movie. And Salman bhai's hangover on the whole movie was actually way too much.. his song is played after every 10 minutes, and his style of action, dialogue delivery and antics is visible all the way to the end. As if Nikhil Advani had only been appointed as an obligation. Disappointing movie.. If you want to retain the magic of the original 'Hero', then don't watch it. 1.5/5

Newcomers have a tough time staying afloat in the volatile entertainment industry. In 2020, when there will be no trace of either of the lead actors of this film, we can finally corroborate that the previous statement is, in fact, true.After he's done with his theatrics, heroics, and groovy dance moves, Sooraj (Pancholi Jr.) is assigned the task of kidnapping the daughter (Shetty) of the city's Inspector General (Dhulia) by his gangster-turned-politician father (Pancholi Sr.) on grounds of political vendetta. Soon idiotic dialogs encapsulate the drama that has the power to put off its viewers, because in here arguments turn into long-winded sessions of romance, and kidnappers fool around with their captive. Just because the original villain is the real life father of the so-called hero of the film, he's not sent to the gallows at the end. But worry not, because we have some random villains kicking the bucket. It is basically a love story where the characters use words like "calculate" & "alt+shift+delete" to describe the situations. You now know what you're looking at.Pancholi Jr. has a long way to go if he wants to stick to acting that is not solely driven by his toned body, and Shetty may want to check her options. Taking a French bath and screaming your lungs out is not considered acting. Dhulia is the only good man in the film which eventually drags the hell out to reach a point of stagnancy.BOTTOM LINE: Hero has a tried and tested story, but the actors playing the characters are like a bunch of toddlers who are yet to grow milk teeth.GRADE: FCan be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
