Heropanti movie review; Cast: Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon and Prakash Raj; Director: Sabbir Khan; Rating: ***1/2

There's nothing honourable about honour killing. But by jove, it makes for a terrific story specially when the intention is to weave a genial love story around a serious issue.

In parts, reminiscent of Priyadarshan's "Rangrezz", "Heropanti" is an unabashedly straight and schmaltzy launchpad for Tiger Shroff. And he excels in every department. The narrative gets to the point straight away with conversational elan. It's a gaudy bustling wedding in Haryana where we meet a family of unapologetic ruffians posing as aristocrats.

Director Sabbir Khan, whose debut film "Kambakkht Ishq" gave a new definition to designer-filmmaking, is far more in control of his plot this time. He yanks his city-bred protagonist Babloo (yup, that's the name our debutant hero is anointed with) out of the gym straight into the rugged hinterland of Haryana where elopement is a dirty word.

The narrative is structured with ample room for conventional elements of formula filmmaking to spill over without causing an excessive deluge of distractions. While the first movement of the plot is baggy and limp around the edges with some of the intended humorous encounters between Babloo and the chirpy Dimpy (she's the sister of an eloped girl from a conservative family all set to encore the family's disgrace) falling flat on the face, the second moment packs in a rock-solid punch. And I do mean that, literally.

Tiger Shroff may look like a soft gentle romantic hero. But when push comes to shove (as it often does in the gun-toting badland), he delivers a mean punch. Whether jumping from building to building or wooing the girl with corny courtship lines, there is an easy-going unflappable attitude to this debutant's on-screen persona, as though to say, there is much more to the movies than just flamboyant machismo.

As the plot progresses and we see Tiger's character blend almost miraculously into the girl's hostile family, we realize how cleverly writer Sanjeev Dutta has subverted the "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" plot.

Prakash Raj taking up Amrish Puri's position in the tale of forbidden love is outstanding in interpreting the bride's father's possessive rage and gradual melt-down. He provides a very capable support system to Tiger's launch missile. Make no mistake.

This is Tiger's big ticket debut. And boy, does this Tiger burn bright! He emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight. Tiger Shroff shares a good chemistry with his cute co-star Kriti Sanon.

Director Sabbir Khan gives the all-rounder hero a curvaceous storyline to peg his skills.

Kriti Sanon is perky and sufficiently spontaneous for her first film. I had a problem with her dangerously low-waist ghagras which just didn't go with her ultra-conservative family life where voluntary marriages are punishable with death. But a refreshing lack of innuendos in the courtship rituals makes the heroine's naval-view bearably aesthetic.

"Heropanti" is a full-on 'paisa vasool' Sajid Nadiadwala entertainer. It doesn't quite measure up to the requirements of the theme of honour killing that it so valiantly puts forward. But as a masala entertainer, that has more to say than one would expect from a film of this nature, "Heropanti" gets its fundas right.

BO update: 'X-Men' takes lead over 'Kochadaiiyaan' & 'Heropanti'

By Taran Adarsh, May 23, 2014 - 14:49 IST

The success of any film not only depends on its cast/brands attached to the project as well as its promotions and music, but also the hype it generates prior to its release. This week witnessed the release of three varied films -- KOCHADAIIYAAN, HEROPANTI and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. While KOCHADAIIYAAN features one of India's biggest stars, Rajinikanth, the second, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, enjoys an equally large fan following. Keeping this aspect in mind, the third release, HEROPANTI, featuring newcomers Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon, certainly faces an uphill task of competing with the two releases.

However, HEROPANTI has opened very well -- it has commenced on a 60% note -- which can be termed a heroic start, since the film is pitted against two biggies and brands. On the other hand, KOCHADAIIYAAN has opened on a dull note in the Hindi belt, but has, expectedly, opened to packed houses in South, while X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST has opened to a stunning 70% occupancy.

While the current trend suggests that HEROPANTI is well on its way to making a mark at the box-office, KOCHADAIIYAAN has suffered due to the postponement from the earlier date. Also, the animation films, produced in India, haven't found whole-hearted mandate from the audience so far. However, KOCHADAIIYAAN is strong in merits and has the potential to grow over the weekend.

Find
Story: Bablu helps Rakesh elope with Choudhary Suraj Singh's daughter Renu. What happens when Bablu meets Suraj Singh - and his other daughter, Dimpy?

Review: So, Heropanti is like DDLJ - wearing knuckle-dusters. The action is in 'Jat-land' where rural lord Choudhary Suraj Singh (Raj) is celebrating the arranged marriage of his daughter Renu (Dhar). The wedding's high Haryanvi style, all celebratory bullets and booze, chowmein eaten with dhai-kilo hands and relatives including an encounter specialist cop, a land shark badmaash and king of Delhi's bouncers. But the 'Kala Kutta' dries up when Renu elopes with Rakesh. In pursuit, her enraged relations capture Rakesh's buddies - including Bablu (Shroff) who pummels the Haryanvis hard. Bablu's fists stop flying when Dimpy - Suraj Singh's younger daughter - arrives. Will his heroics win?

Heropanti captures the colourful tension of Haryanvi life, switching between the freedoms of big-city living to the cloistered comfort of a haveli, where one step out of tradition can lead an adored daughter to death. Raj portrays a father's hammy but dramatic agony while various mamas, taus and Dimpy's fiance Rajjo (Singh) mix muscular menace and rustic comedy well. They're matched at every mukka by Tiger Shroff, whose fighting and dancing feature commendable grace. Tiger has a pleasant, dignified presence but is clearly more comfortable letting his kicks, not his acting, talk. Playing Dimpy, who dreams of being 'Miss Haryana', Kriti has statuesque beauty but set expressions, the lead pair's emoting more cheesy than sharp.

Similarly, the story carries some corny 1990s flab, including a song-in- the-snow where the lovers wear colour co-ordinated clothing and Tiger sports a truly awful pair of blue goggles. More snags detract from otherwise tight direction - the Renu-Rakesh dilemma is left under-explained while overdone comedians (including an eloping driver and a chubby NRI) induce more yawns than chuckles.

Still, Heropanti is enjoyable. The climax pumps up the action, featuring shirtless Tiger, crouching Rajjo. The tale has a twist as graceful as Tiger's flips and you do agree when Tiger suggests, 'Mere naal tu whistle baja.
