Sneha turns film producer!

Diphan’s ‘Hero’ that stars Prithviraj in the title role has been released, and what do critics think of this mass masala entertainer? Nothing much good, we’re afraid. Take a look!

Nowrunning says heroes have changed quite a lot these days, and this one is slightly out of time: “Diphan’s ‘Hero’ is visually quite elaborate, and dramatically it’s as flat as could be. With no central conflict in sight, the film ends up a wobbling piece, with chunks dropping off it every now and then, predicting an imminent and inevitable topple down.”

Rediff affirms that there is nothing unusual about this hero: “Technically, some portions of this film jar. We expect the action shown to look natural if not raw, but instead people keep flying off like they were paper planes. Hero does try to be different in telling the story of a stuntman, but ends up as the usual action film in the ‘cinema within cinema’ format.”

Sify says the film is strictly for Prithvi fans: “The director had successfully made the hit film Puthiya Mugham with Prithviraj earlier and the duo tries to recreate the magic once again. But the problem is that they don’t have a credible storyline to narrate and a good script to bank upon.”
