The writing is terrible and the script leaves a lot to be desired, including a real climax. The production value – considering a front face of perhaps Bollywood’s most celebrated female actor of the time – is pretty low.

When you make a film with a super-duper star like Kareena Kapoor, everything else must also match the glamour and grandeur she naturally brings to the film. However, the director is really just a star of multiplex cinemas and disappoints with Heroine. I have been a Bhandarkar fan since and, with Fashion, he demonstrated to an extent that he was capable of working with bigger names like Priyanka Chopra. Yes, the emphasis is on Bhandarkar, not lady lovable Kareena Kapoor.

I must begin by lamenting the fact that I blew off most of the Pakistan versus Bangladesh World T20 match to go watch Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine.
