evakirigo I have absolutely no context for this movie and it's actors and sure it's not the most original plot but I found myself intrigued enough by the seedy side of fame to watch it to the end. I would actually recommend it for a slow night.Honestly, the main reason I'm giving it an 8 is to counter the absurdly low ratings. At the very least it deserves a 7.

sagarshares7854 I had never seen a Madhur Bhandarkar film before,but had heard he makes 'hard-hitting cinema'.Well,watching Heroine,made me feel that it would surely hit the pockets of the producers hard,very hard indeed.The film starts with an overhead shot showing a jeep.These are the best 1.5-2 min. of the film coz you feel maybe something is going to happen.The rest of the film is an insult to the viewer's senses & Kareena's(Bebo hereon) acting prowess.Bebo seems to be a director's actor: she trusts him completely & gives it her best shot but what if the trust is misplaced? The camera is more concerned with Mahi's(Bebo's character) cleavage than with her emotions.The rest of the cast is downright zombiefied:absolute dearth of emotions in their dialogues,add to that the truckloads of make-up.Randeep Hooda is the only saving grace.Arjun Rampal? he's a dumbass actor.How is he still getting films? The answer would reveal why Bollywood movies are considered so low on the world map.The character of Mahi is filled with inconsistencies.At one place,she is the bitch of Bollywood but when she's at the receiving end,she acts like a sissy.The film doesn't qualify as fiction coz there's not enough for that(even granting that people maybe zombies,really) If you make the mistake of believing it to be non- fiction you will start to hate Bollywood.Other than that,every character smokes,talks crap & is overly(/entirely) clichéd.The film's climax cheats the audience.Throughout the film you can't help sympathising with Bebo for her valiant attempt.Pity she committed to such a project. Highly UNrecommended.Go watch Barfi! instead Going with a generous 2/10.

Herag Halli The script is not tight and the movie is too long with few scenes that are non relevant to the story telling unlike Bhandarkar's previous films. This is Kareena's best acting after "Chameli" and she should win an award or two. Kareena, who looks little like the portrait of Mona Lisa without makeup, does well in her introspective insights and reaches the bottom of the pit when even her manager (Govind Namdeo, who was superb in "Mai Madhuri Banaa Chati Hoon' as an Agent, is mediocre and lost without significant part here) throws the books at her. She does portray the confused Desi Heroine well. The best part of the movie is the segment with Ranvir Shorey and the movie inside the movie with a great acting (not to mention great cleavage!) by Shahana Goswami as a drunken lesbian seducer. The scene with the heroine in the car stranded too long and claustrophobic even for the audience. The heroines want adoration and it is tough to deny it.Bhandarkar, tries hard to portray the times and tribulations of a Desi Heroine, but seems to be confused himself as to how to go about it. Other than Kareena, Ranvir Shorey (Bhandarkar's protégé as a director, who is not in the Hundred Crore Movie Club) in the movie is good to watch as always. The other is Divya Dutta as the PR Gal. The movie deserves a rating of six or seven, since not so good movie by Bhadarkar, is hundred times better than the maderchod banchod produced the so-called Hundred Crore Movies, meant for the sewer and filthy frontbenchers who are dictating the Hundred Crore Club market. Their movies are a disgrace to decent Indians and the illustrious Indian film industry. If not for the likes of Bhandarkar,there would be no film industry...just "Item Dance Industry" taken over by the goonda banchods like Ek Tha Kojha maderchods, acting and producing movies for the frontbenchers and praised by and selected swines of the Mumbai Media since they are bribed to do so.

Ketan Gupta Heroine was a film with plot holes and subsequent weak script but was watchable thanks to stupendous and courageous performance by Kareena Kapoor Heroine tells the story of a an popular actress who has everything - beautiful looks , fame , money but still has a very lonely and depressing life due to insecurity as she goes through the various phases of living a Bollywood Dream Directed by national award winner of Chandni Bar , Page 3 and Fashion , Madhur Bhandarkar misses the mark with this film. The film begins on loose ends confusing the audience about the story. Frankly speaking , 1st half is a complete bore and hopeless. However , the silver lining is few grasping moments in the 2nd half coupled by Kareena's brave performance makes it worth-watching at least once. The theme of the movie was good but Bhandarkar's repetitive introduction of character right from page 3 till heroine makes it realize as if you are watching the same movie. Screenplay has lot of loop holes . Story is boring. Art direction is just about OK along with cinematography. Music is decent with Halkat Jawani being the pick of the lot. Coming to the performances , it is Kareena's show all the way. The gorgeous actress proves her mettle and goes one step further to display her histrionic character with aplomb. Shahana Goswami, Divya Dutta and Randeep Hooda were good in smaller rolesOverall , a movie that had potential to be a great film !!! Though the film is titled Heroine but Kareena is actually the Hero of the film. Average 2 / 5
