Review of Heropanti

Heropanti (2014)
5/10
Could be a decent Movie
9 June 2015
I give this movie 5 because this could have been a decent movie to watch. However, it was let down in more than one aspects and its a pity as this was the debut movie of 2 actors who did show potential.

So in this review I will highlight all the good things in the movie and how it was let down.

First the plot. Well as with most bollywood movies it followed the age old formula of arranged marriage vs love marriage. However, it did have some new perspectives which could have been interesting. However, the movie fails to develop on these perspectives and hence the plot feels a bit empty or shallow.

Second the acting. Though it wasn't exemplary I would say the actors weren't too bad. In fact Kriti Sanons acting was quite fine. However while Tiger shroff's acting wasn't all that bad, terrible dialogue and weird lost expression scenes marred his performance. In almost every scene he repeats a cliché stupid dialogue and I found myself doing a facepalm at each of those times. Plus the weird expression of love on his face...another facepalm.

Third and this is the part that impressed me, the action. Now surprisingly and as opposed to other over the top bollywood movies, the action sequences were good. The stunts were very authentic given the fact that Tiger Shroff is a martial artist.

Finally, the film is riddled with sudden cut scenes whereby you find yourself suddenly in a different scene without any indication or clue whatsoever. Furthermore, at several places the music seems so out of place an awkward.

Overall, I believe in an attempt to make the movie over melodramatic with terrible cliché dialogues and awkward music cuts the director spoiled what could have been a decent movie. But do watch it for the action.
