Main Tera Hero review

Ho ho ho! I am back with a bang! Yes, it seems quite a surprise, we have not posted anything in the past 8 months, but we will start again, and let's make this time, the last time we stop.


Main Tera Hero is an absolutely hilarious film. Slapstick comedy, yes! But the comic timing of the dynamic duo of Father-Son, Director-Actor, David and Varun Dhawan have delivered the funniest Indian film of the year.
The film revolves around Seenu (Varun Dhawan) and his adventures through college and then his love life. The love life is the more important of the two in the film as his studies are not mentioned again apart from in the first 15 minutes of the movie. Certainly Varun did not disappoint, as he worked with his father for the first time. At many junctures he reminded me of Salman Khan from his late 90's films when he worked with David Dhawan (director).
The supporting cast included the ravishing and talented Ileana D'Cruz, playing the role of Seenu's love interest (Sunaina). She was as hyper as she could have been as that is what the role required of her. Ayesha (played by Nargis Fakhri) was a spoilt rich girl who also has an interest in Seenu. Nargis seemed to be out of her depth. It looked like 'Bambi on ice'. She was trying way to hard to play the part and just seemed very unrealistic and boring to be honest.
Arunoday Singh, Anumpam Kher and Rajpal Yadav justified their selections for the roles and entertained the crowd with their well-timed dialogues and comedy. Last but not least, Salman Khan, playing the different Gods in the film was hilarious. His dialogues were brilliant.
Tushar Hiranandani and Milap Zaveri wrote the story and dialogues respectively. Personally, I enjoyed all of the one-liners especially "Main lagta buhat sweet swaami type ka par hoon baray harami type ka", by far my favourite line of the film.
Music by Sajid-Wajid was fantastic. "Palat" and "Besharam Ki Height" both did extremely well on the charts as well as in people's hearts.
The choreography was interesting but nothing special. Varun is a great dancer and he performed all his moves excellently.
It seems like this film was a platform for Varun to start doing more comedy films, following in his father's footsteps.
