And that is exactly where the issue lies.īecause, the film runs on a simple line that is stretched, twists are added to, jokes are cracked and numerous characters add to the milieu, eventually everyone and everything gets lost in the chaos. This is the new-age lauch-pad where the film will play out like a dark comedy and yet the colourful visuals and fun treatment will show off ‘commercial sensibilities’. But this is not your run-of-the-mill commercial potboiler that is a mix of everything from romance to comedy and action. In Hero Ashok Galla gets a chance to make a mass entry, dance to a massy solo rap number, mouth dialogues where he breaks the fourth wall and talks about his introduction and even recreate his grandfather Krishna’s Jumbare from Yamaleela with Niddhi. But when Arjun finds himself in possession of a retro gun that fires off by mistake, he must set things right before it’s too late. His girlfriend Subbu (Nidhhi Agerwal) hopes he manages to win over her father (Jagapathi Babu) and ask her hand in marriage. Even his dreams are in technicolour, full of drama and pay homage to the cowboy films of yesteryears. And while Mahesh Babu’s nephew, Ashok Galla’s, maiden outing is delightfully meta and wacky, the unfocused narrative and too much brainless fun prove to be a pitfall.Īrjun (Ashok Galla) is clear on what he wants from life – he wants to be a true-blue commercial film hero.

Yes, the film industry provides an escape from reality for many but one can’t help but giggle at some of the silly intricacies it holds.

If he takes time out to show why numerous people dream of seeing themselves on the big-screen he also ensures to show the film industry’s pitfalls. Review: Hero is Sriram Adittya’s ode to cinema and he doesn’t hold back. What happens when a comedy of errors finds him in midst of a gang war he has nothing to do with? Story: Arjun is a youngster who harbours dreams of becoming a commercial film hero.
