Review Central: Hero – Convoluted plot and unconvincing roles play villain

There’s been plenty of hype around Hero, a remake of the Subhash Ghai film, which is a launch vehicle for Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. The verdict is out: critics say this ‘80s film should’ve been left in the ‘80s. And that things can only get better for the newcomers who’ve chosen to start at the lowest point possible.

Our take: Hero seems mostly to be a zero, with few redeeming aspects. Go, if you have absolutely must.
