Well, no rewards for guessing the answer, it is by all means <em>Heropanti<\/em>! After directing the Akshay-Kareena starrer<em> Kambakkht Ishq<\/em>, director Sabbir Khan yet again tries his luck and this time for launching Jackie Shroff\u2019s son Tiger Shroff! But as they say, if something is not designed for you, no matter how much you try, you won\u2019t get it right! <em>Heropanti<\/em> turns out to be an unapologetically bland film which is absolutely shallow in terms of story and performances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot:<\/strong> The daughter of a Jatt goon elopes with her lover and the father takes into custody all of the boy\u2019s friends. Among them is the hero, Babloo, who is in love with a girl he doesn&#8217;t know. And yes of course, the girl turns out to be the goon\u2019s second daughter! Will Babloo\u2019s heropanti help him win the girl\u2019s father or not, is what forms the crux of the story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances:<\/strong> With <em>Heropanti<\/em>, Bollywood welcomes a super-flexible action hero, almost like a junior version of Akshay Kumar and Vidyut Jamwal. Tiger Shroff in undoubtedly a marvel at performing spectacular stunts, but that\u2019s about it! We can\u2019t blame him for his feminine looks, but one thing he can be blamed for is his ever-present smile that he flashes almost constantly for no reason. Only if mute-action films were made in Bollywood, Tiger Shroff could have been a superstar!<\/p>\n<p><em>Heropanti<\/em> also launches yet another pretty face, that of Kriti Sanon. This girl is not only gorgeously attractive but is also surprisingly a very capable actress. A little brush-up and she is all set to be next Deepika Padukone!<\/p>\n<p>Prakash Raj is not at his best\u00a0here, yet emerges as a strong actor in terms of expressing emotions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music:<\/strong> The music of <em>Heropanti<\/em> is probably the best thing about the film. The album is brimming with some of the most amazing songs this year. Composed by a variety of talent, the album makes for a memorable collection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Good:<\/strong> Tiger Shroff\u2019s impressive action stunts and dance moves, Kriti Sanon\u2019s screen presence and an amazing music score!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Bad:<\/strong> The shallow script of the movie, Tiger Shroff\u2019s acting and dialogue delivery and an amateur screenplay.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heropanti<\/em> isn\u2019t exactly a bad film, in the sense that it could at least be watched till the end! It&#8217;s just a so-called masala entertainer which lacks enough masala to entertain the audience. Keeping in mind Tiger Shroff\u2019s girly face, the only expectations we had from him was from his acting ability. Unfortunately, he fails in that segment too! <em>Heropanti<\/em> can very obviously be avoided for your good!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict:<\/strong> If only someone had told Tiger Shroff that being an actor\u2019s son doesn\u2019t necessarily make you an actor!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> **<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release Date: 23rd May, 2014 Starring: Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, Prakash Raj Directed by: Sabbir Khan Music: Sajid-Wajid, Mustafa Zahid, Bilal Saad and Manjeet Ral Duration: 2 hours 31 minutes What will you call a film that features a star-kid with zero acting skills and a feminine face, trying hard to act smart?
