Salman Khan has surely left no stone unturned to tout his production Hero, starring Bollywood’s debutants Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. Eventually, the movie made quite a buzz prior to its release in and has now raised the curtains on Indian cinemas today.
The remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 romantic tale has recapped the story of a gangster, played by Sooraj and the daughter of a senior cop, played by Shetty. While the heroin is kidnaped by the thug on orders of a politician who wants to avenge the girl’s dad, their love begins to weave in the midst of all the action.

However despite the hype, Hero received a lukewarm response from the Indian critics. Salman Khan’s production has apparently been unsuccessful to meet the expectations and has miserably failed to impress the Indian audience.

#Hero is unintentionally funny, could have done well with better script, direction and newer elements.

#SoorajPancholi tries hard to be like @BeingSalmanKhan, but that’s not enough to make it big! He needs to have the same impact. #Hero — IBNLive Movies (@IBNLiveMovies) September 11, 2015
