A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

I really didn't like the message that the dad was wrong. They really stressed that and it was so stupid. I also didn't like the attempt rape scene. They should have started the save before it got to that point because they did a horrible job with it. The "no means no" crap gosh bogus.Too many non-Indian dancers. I hate seeing non-Indians in Indian movies. As the back dancers. I really don't like that.Tiger is an awesome dancer. His lines were so dam stupid. Especially about the women being mistreated. The whole women mistreatment thing was utterly stupid. They did show that the dad really cared and it was the daughter that was stupid. But man they didn't do a good job. This movie was definitely a movie for guys and they added this bogus message I guess to attract some women. The dad was trying to do what was best and they showed that. But this make your own decisions message for not just girls but also boys is not right. Even tigers actor was disobeying his dad. Parents have lots of experience that goes behind their decisions. And it's about time that we start selling the message to the youth that you need to "take control of your life"... When it is the opposite. As you see people who don't take their parents blessings and guidance suffer.It was really a fun watch. Tigers moves are just awesome awesome.My favorite is when the 4 guys are lined up and he Tiger was picked by the dad as knowing where after the uncle overheard the daughter. The daughter had hard time selling out tiger which was nice.If it wasn't for the "disobey your parents" for youth I would have given this movie a lot more. Music was catchy and fun.

When i first saw the trailer of the movie i thought that Tiger shroff is trying to ape salman khan but no he isn't trust me you can watch this movie for Mr.shroff alone .He carries the whole movie on his shoulders .He is the best thing that can happen to this movie .And i can say that this movie had a promising debut What is good about the movie ? Like i said tiger shroff is the soul of the movie .His dance,style and fights adds great attraction to the movie .He has the potential and can deliver hits .I think we will be hearing more of Mr.shroff .His versatility is praiseworthy . Music of the movie is fantastic .The script is pretty decent .But bollywood should stop relying on south Indian movie scripts What is bad about the movie ? Well apart from Mr.Shroff none of the actors deliver .Prakash raj did a convincing job but he needs to work on the dialog delivery .Kirti sanon has just been a pretty face in the movie and doesn't do much in the movie except for playing a damsel in distress . I would give this movie 7/10 one star for Mr.Shroff

Watching this latest launching pad for another star son, presented as a youthful love saga, I strongly felt that perhaps we are now into a completely different era which is far away of those eternal love stories of the past. The emotional depth found in the adorable romance between the lead pairs of that golden era is lost somewhere in the materialistic development around and today a love story has to be served like a complete entertainment package, forcing everything into the script ranging from action, songs, dance & drama to six packs, naval shows and hurriedly edited sequences with more than one sub plots.Another remake of another South Hit PARUGU (Telugu-2008), HEROPANTI has been made with slight changes suiting the Hindi belt. But it actually walks on exactly the same pattern followed by South cinema, in which they mix more than 2-3 interesting subplots into one script and have a separate focus planned for both before and after the interval, intelligently. So in here too the couple actually meets just before the intermission and its probably the first Hindi love story in which the wooing act commences in the second half.Beginning with a typical marriage sequence and many clichéd insertions later, it simply reminds you of few recent films like CHENNAI EXPRESS, SON OF SARDAR, RANGREZZ and more. The hero's gang of friends starts overacting from their first scene itself and one doesn't get impressed much till we have an well executed chase & escape, action sequence towards the mid. Despite having few weird scenes, the film actually makes a greater impact post interval with an emotional climax again reminding you of DDLJ along with a lengthy duration which could have been shortened by at least 12-15 minutes. To put it straight, HEROPANTI is purely made keeping in mind the non- stop entertainment more suitable for single screens or smaller centers and has enough action & drama for that particular target audience. Hence it cannot be treated as an awfully made film, delivering nothing. However it's the writing which remains uneven throughout offering some really strange sequences as well as dialogues. For instance, it seems really silly to repeat the word HEROPANTI every 5-10 minutes by various artists in its initial hour. Prakash Raj coming on to the road with a bottle as a drunkard didn't really suit his own persona. A party song comes from no-where in the film all of a sudden and a particular dialogue truly left me confused saying, "Jo Dost Kameeney Nahin Hotey, Wo Kameenay Dost Nahi Hotey!!!!!!"Also another verse in the song "Rabba" really forced me to look into the lyrics writer's name i.e. Kausar Munir and he writes, "Chakhna Bhi Chahun, Rakhna Bhi Chahun, Sabse Chhupa Ke Ussey!!!!!!" And that is supposed to be a love song………….really!Musically, HEROPANTI does have some peppy tracks like "Raat Bhar" & "Whistle Baja" with the famous signature tune from Subhash Ghai's HERO featuring Tiger's father Jackie Shroff, fondly called as Jackie Dada. Moreover the encouraging part is that here we don't have a 5-6 songs thrown in every 12-15 minutes into the film as per the routine. The cinematography captures the action sequences and landscapes superbly. Plus the background score manages to build up the energy level to a large extent.In the performance section, Tiger Shroff confidently displays his well learned skills in Gymnastics & Martial Arts and makes a decent impact. He puts up a notable show as an actions hero for sure but remains average only in the acting department frankly. Having said that he is certainly not an extremely poor actor as was being predicted and made fun of in the social networking sites before the release. Still, his chocolate (girly) looks, not suitable for variety of roles, are sure to prove as a big limitation in his career without any doubt. Also I would not be able to call Tiger's dare devil stunts as something first of its kind on the screen, since just last year we saw Vidyut Jammal coming up with a much better stuff in his COMMANDO (2013). But since he is not any star-son with a solid backing, so many would not even recall his name & the film unfortunately.Kriti, who has earlier worked in a Telugu hit looks really gorgeous and plays her given role with an extreme ease as well as confidence. With a highly likable screen presence, she is sure to win many hearts post HEROPANTI and also would be the one who will get the maximum benefit from the film in the coming months. Sandeepa Dhar is fine as Kriti's elder sister (who also strangely vanishes towards the end) and the supporting cast has some mixed performers ranging from bad to average.Coming to the other big name in the film, Prakash Raj, the seasoned actor once again delivers a 'seen before' yet thoughtful performance of a father who is confused from the rebellious choices made by his two daughters repeatedly. Though this particular section of the movie (the last 15 minutes) could have become its major highlight, if handled more sensitively, yet I loved the important question raised by a caring father of a girl to her chosen boy as, "What exceptional qualities she sees in you which I am unable to see or find?"Summing up, no doubt HEROPANTI is just another average package of entertainment in a pure South style with all routine stuff. Still, it remains one step ahead than many careless entertainers such as R… RAJKUMAR. To give you a clear indication we earlier used to make HERO and now it has all gone down to HEROPANTI.

Chaudhary (Prakash raj) is a respectable elder in a town and his elder daughter (sandeepa) puts him in embarrassment as she elopes with her lover just minutes before marriage. Chaudhary sends his men to track the man who took his daughter and in this process they catch hold of Bablu (tiger shroff). Meanwhile, Bablu falls for Dippy (kriti), Chaudhary's younger daughter. What happens from there forms the rest.The director has come up with a predictable storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was great. The dialogues were neat. The script was okay and the screenplay brought some great energy. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was efficient and contributed strongly. Editing okay but was not good during the second half. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was appealing. Tiger Shroff was excellent in dance and action sequences . Kriti Sanon is a stunning beauty with very expressive face, she has potential. Prakash Raj was perfect. Sandeepa Dhar was good, Vikram Singh was okay. Others didn't have much to do.The film is the remake of the Telugu hit movie Parugu and it must be said that few changes have been made to suit the taste of the north Indian audience. Also, the focus was more on action quotient than emotional quotient. The first half goes on a lighter mode with elements of romance, some comedy and action. The interval bang was superb and the second half had a good amount of drag before the climax. Overall, this film is a good enjoyable masala entertainer, with a hint of romance,action, and comedy. A decent entertainer.6.5/10
