Some may find the vulgarity in the film a little uncomfortable, but hey, this is an A rated comedy. The good emotional quotient in the second half will strike a chord with parents as well as students. The film is an entertaining youth comedy with a nice message in the end. Reception ġ gave a review stating "If you liked ‘Ee Rojullo’, you will like ‘Bus Stop’.
But earlier on 10 November, he told the media that a few multiplexes will begin screening the film from today itself and the bookings for the evenings shows of Bus Stop are expected to open shortly. Some of them are spot-on: there’s the producers’ penchant for safely remaking South Indian hit films the gorgeous lothario of a costar (model turned actor Arjun Rampal) the hunky cricketer with a weakness for actresses (the justifiably busy art house actor Randeep Hooda) and the airtight gay/bisexual closet.The movie's producer Bellamkonda Suresh announced that the film will be released across the state on 11 November 2012. Ironically, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who Bhandarkar announced for the role of Mahi in 2011, abruptly dropped out of the project - to have a baby - and Kapoor stepped into the role.ĭespite the film’s faults, Bhandarkar has assembled an entertaining laundry list of Bollywood in-jokes, and squeezed as many of them as he could into the film. Mahi may have worked her way up from obscurity, but Kapoor herself is from the same legendary extended film family that brought us Raj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor ( Barfi!) and Rishi Kapoor.Īnd sexism (and its ugly companion, ageism) continues to be a curse for Indian actresses, who until very recently were expected to throw away their careers upon marriage. Yet neither is addressed with any depth in Bhandarkar’s film. There are two infuriating aspects of the Hindi film industry that could have provided rich fodder for satire here: nepotism and sexism. Perhaps he’s taking the viewers for granted, assuming we’d automatically accept Kapoor as a superstar - but Kapoor’s performance is artificial all the way through, marked by mannerisms and seemingly delivered into a mirror. Bhandarkar chooses not to reveal why Mahi is so damaged (beyond a throwaway line about a rough childhood), and, perplexingly, never shows us what talents made Mahi such a supernova in the first place. The choice is yours, babes.”Īt the center of it all lies Kapoor, whose characterization and performance end up being the most disappointing aspects of the film. The dialogue, a mishmash of Hindi and English, aims for cynicism but often ends up silly: “Hey, babes, what happened? You seem to be tensed.” “Either you manipulate, or you get manipulated. Ultimately, the film is unsatisfying for several reasons. Ranvir Shorey is disarmingly funny as the award-winning art-house director, while yesteryear star Helen, a saucy ‘60s sex kitten, makes a dignified appearance as an aged star consigned to obscurity. Thank goodness the supporting actors are strong throughout, especially the smart Divya Dutta as a wily PR maven and Shahana Goswami in a small, but memorable, turn as a bohemian Bengali actress who takes Mahi on a whirlwind tour of the city’s brothels as research for a film.

#HEROINE 2012 FULL MOVIE TV#
The first half of the film isn’t much more engaging than a TV soap, though with spicier language.
Without any real friends to speak of, Mahi can only rely on a cold, unloving mother ( Lillete Dubey), a wise shrink and a capable entourage of stylists, assistants and costumers who keep her afloat. Kapoor plays Mahi Arora, a moody actress so insecure about men and fame that she constantly sabotages her relationships and career. STORY: Brad Pitt: ‘I Would Love to Work in a Bollywood Film’įaced with competition from Anurag Basu’s hugely popular and family-friendly romantic comedy Barfi, Heroine - with its R-rated language, nonstop cigarette and booze abuse and depiction of freewheeling sexual escapades - may boast the widest distribution of any female-centric Indian film to date (2,400 screens in India), but it will still have a tough sell at the box office despite Bhandarkar’s pedigree and the draw of its star, Kareena Kapoor.
