Main Tera Hero - Reviews & Box Office Updates - Page 3

Watched Main Tera Hero the 2nd time.. Enjoyed it as much and laughed a lot! Varun is a star! #mainterahero

Move over Salman Khan, it's time to make way for Main Tera Hero star Varun Dhawan: a star pupil who seems to have graduated from your school of acting (or non-acting).

The 26-year-old does everything in his power to win over hearts and he succeeds. Just like bhai (as Khan is fondly called in Bollywood), Dhawan displays incredible pecs-bouncing ability and makes juggling between two hot women seem like a good idea. But in Main Tera Hero, he had me at Katrina Kaif and his swipe at her faulty Hindi. The jokes roll easy in the first half as we get to know Ooty's answer to Dennis, the menace: Seenu (Dhawan).

He's not the brightest bulb in his class but what he lacks in intellect, the overgrown prankster overcompensates with wit and charm. The first half is designed to display Dhawan Jr as the ultimate Bollywood hero material. The son of director David Dhawan proves that he can dance, sing, woo women, bash up baddies and have inane conversations with God " and make it all seem normal.

This is a comedy that pays ode to men who remain boys. He joins the fictional TIFTS college in Bengaluru and it's no TUFTS University " the academic haven near Boston. Here, the students look as if they learnt to dance shirtless before they learnt how to spell. Seenu's conversation with his indulgent mother while at college which goes something like: "Ma, even if I don't bring a degree home, I will make sure that I bring a wife home," underlines the theme of this film.

On his first day of college, his eyes fall upon Sunaina (incredibly slender Ileana D'Cruz). And instead of finding his classroom, he digs up her history. She's engaged to a beefy, evil cop Angad who is immune to anger management lessons. What happens in the next one hour is a tug of wills among the impish Seenu, the helpless waif, Sunaina, and her bullish boyfriend Angad.

While the first half is amusing, the second half gets sluggish in the last 20 minutes. At some point, the love triangle becomes a quadrangle with a voluptuous Nargis Fakhri entering the frame. Actor Anupam Kher, who plays Fakhri's dad, is in top form as a dim-witted gangster, while the women take the term eye candies' to a fabulous level. Their bronzed, sculpted bodies in bikinis are welcome distractions when you find yourself looking for a story in this film.

But full marks to Dhawan for carrying a comedy with a questionable plot till the finish line. He lays on the charm thick and nice. And if that didn't seem to work, he just took off his shirt.

Watch this if you like films that don't challenge you to think.

Main Tera Hero movie review: Mindless but still entertaining

Main Tera Hero' is energetically light-heart entertainment, even with the old formulaic masalas in it.

Stars- Varun Dhawan, Ileana D' Cruz, Nargis Fakhri, Arunoday Singh, Anupam Kher
Director- David Dhawan
Music Director- Sajid-Wajid

David Dhawan, who is known for his humourous flicks is back to give some doze of it again and this time he gets a perfect replacement of Govinda in form of his very own son Varun Dhawan.

It has been quite a while, since we have witnessed a humourous drama in cinema, if we ignore the unintentional humour presented in recent serious dramas. For good, David Dhawan's Main Tera Hero' is not like his last disaster Do Knot disturb and to some extent his semi-cooked Chashme Baddoor'.

The story revolves around Sheenu (Vaun Dhawan) the notorious man in Ooty and a drop out from his college. In order to pursue his education he takes admission in a Bangalore college. Here he falls in love with Sunaina (Ileana D' Cruz). But Sunaina is forced to marry Angad (Arunoday Singh), a local gangster.

On the other hand, Sheenu has another die-hard lover in form of Ayesha (Nargis Fakhri) whom he saved from goons by bashing them up in a train from Ooty to Bangalore. Ayesha's father (Anupam Kher) kidnaps Sunaina to get hold of Sheenu for his daughter. Now how Varun gets screwed up in this love triangle and how he strikes back, this quiz with twists and turns holds you throughout the 128 minutes runtime.

David Dhawan, foremost capitalises over the energy of his son who gives his 200 percent in this flick, which despite carrying an old formula doesn't allow it's viewers to feel outdated and bored.

The tried and tested formula has been given a new dimension with a good screenplay and some one-liners, which are sure to be popular among the masses.

You won't get any extraordinary appeal in the flick, which has mostly unoriginal chain of events. The kidnappers and the goons turning into comic characters have been widely witnessed in earlier masala movies and once again you come across them.

David Dhawan keeps both action and comedy in proportion and lets his artists capitalise over it.

Varun carries the entire drama on his shoulders and undoubtedly he is a package of talent and energy. His lively act and fun dialogue delivery livens up the screen. His dance encourages you to join him at every step.

Ileana D' Cruz is great in her act. Nargis Fakhri adds some oomph in the show along with some good acting.

Arunoday Singh, tries to be comical villain but struggles at times. Anupam Kher as another big goon is good.

Music by Sajid-Wajid is brilliant. Most of his foot-tapping tracks like Saari night Besharmi ki height' and Palat' are good as well as nicely choreographed.

Main Tera Hero' is energetically light-heart entertainment, even with the old formulaic masalas in it.
