‘Heroine’ acts as a revelation to a large number of aspirants who swarm the mega city, hoping to make it big in the world of glitz, without an inkling of the harsh realities that lie ahead. It astounds you with its brutal bluntness. Also, the director illustrates the heartrending and lamentable realities of the movie world brilliantly. The party sequence, in the first hour, is simply outstanding. Also, the politics behind casting in films is well illustrated here. On the flip side, although the writing borrows from reality and has ample shock value, the writers could've avoided a few episodes in Mahi's story, which seem unimportant. Besides, the track involving Ranvir Shorey and his film is stretched. Also, the writers have tried to cram too many instances/episodes in the screenplay, which only elongates the run time of the film. Moreover, the film focuses more on the lows than the highs. Watch this flick for Madhur's imposing direction, for Kareena's superlative performance; watch it also for its fearless, inspiring and enlightening storyline divulging the scandalous realities of the movie industry!
