Main Tera Hero

Starring: Varun Dhawan, Ileana D'Cruz, Nargis Fakhri, Anupam Kher

Rated: 6/10

Votaries of “meaningful” or even “slightly meaningful” cinema can get ready for an audacious boob-moving kick by the young gun from the House of Dhawan. With daddy’s full sanction, a six-packed, chikna chested Varun does everything that a David Dhawan hero must do to tickle all your bones, not just the funny one which Govinda tickled so vigorously all those years ago that you may still be reeling under the effect.

But then, Varun is no Govinda though he tries very hard and even apes him in very many sequences — if, that, is you can call anything a sequence in a David Dhawan movie.

And as we go down the roller-coaster of unbreachable nonsense, we can be rest assured that David Dhawan, despite a secret desire to dabble in meaningful cinema, has not slowed down his fetish for kitsch. It’s this no-pause-comma-no fullstop-genre of cinema that he has propelled unabashedly, this time on the young shoulders of his son.

Varun does everything he possibly could to hold your attention — he dances like a dream, romances like a buffoon, thrashes like a hero and talks non-stop nonsense like he is meant to. Add to that a dash of youthful exuberance and cuteness and you have a good mix to say “tera hero idhar hai.”So forget, he is no Govinda and David Dhawan no innovator, forget it is a remake of a south Indian film and forget that it is not politically correct to enjoy nonsense. Just carry on guys with David the Dhawan, even if his heroines are not even half as oomphy as Karisma, Rambha or Pooja Batra.
