Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
As I suffered excruciating emotional and psychological pain, at the Gitmo level; watching another masala Bollywood extravaganza, questioning the hiatus in rational acuity, I surreptitiously glanced at my fellow detainees; they were kvelling, salivating with every absurd, silly antic, artificial slaps, bogus angst; questioning what they saw that escaped me; setting aside my irritation, rebooting my interest, erasing Western proclivities to rush to judgment; spoiled by recent formidable films from India, “Highway” and “Queen”, took a leap backwards and recognized that these fluffy flights of fancy are the fare that Indian audiences crave.
Rising above the benign scenario, focusing on the gorgeous stars; musical song and dance numbers are stunning; Ileana D’Cruz, “Sunaina” leggy and lithesome is the love interest of the hero, “Seenu” (Varun Dhawan), whose limited attributes include his aerial feats, wooing Sunaina , and outwitting her garrulous fiancé, “Angad” (Arunoday Singh, as the duplicitous suitor, grudgingly garnished my respect); a competition between dumb and dumber.
“Main Tera Hero” is a slice of whimsy that many might find fun, but few “heroic”.
TWO STARS!!
