Hero

Though the story was going to be a fight against corruption, this movie had some proper content in the form of scientific inventions instead of just preaching messages throughout. Though there were places which presented the cliché revolutionary feel, the way the director had used inventions and discoveries to combat the existing Indian education system was appreciable as a good level of research was put into it. I wouldn't recommend it a must watch movie, but is definitely a more than decent movie which you can give a try.

Vazhakkam aana social message subject, Stylish negative role, usual arai-kurai role for actress, Climax speech and fight - ipdi elaamea clìche dhaan. But the screenplay treatment made me to sit throughout the movie, without yawning! Sonna vidham inum nalla irundhirukalaam. Aana sonnadhu pudichadhu. The usual family entertainment is not there, which will disappoint SK (as they call him) fans. But, it's good to see him having a fairly less important role than our Action King ! Hero irundhaa Gentleman um irukanum. Not so much to celebrate, rather a slight disappointment from a man who gave us IrumbuThirai. Still, it's not a slop either. Could've been better.. Definitely watchable in theatre.

Think that most of the audience doesn't understand this movie. After watching this movie it kept me thinking that what should want in my life. The movie is good in every way. It's technically brilliant. SK and everyone good.

Well first things first, Plot is the real Hero of the movie. The movie had an original plot and environment setup which every Indian can relate to.

Technically also, no or only little compromises has been done. Cinematography is at top notch, only next to Super deluxe. Screenplay is slow (which most of the superhero origin movies are) yet gripping.

Bgm score elevates and emotes well for almost 90% of the movie. Songs are kept just to please the fans except Hero title track.

Character arc of main characters were likable and relatable too. Heroine, at first seems to be a typical Indian movie kinda heroine but she had her role in shaping up the lead character.

Arjun's acting was top notch and nailed it. He looks more fit, younger and stylish than Shiva. He carried his role so perfect and easily.

The villain role played by Abhay deol seems to be the mere personification of Indian education system, created the impact which it has to be.

To speak about negatives, there were few logical errors, some over the top unbelievable scenes, poor design of the Superhero costume and accessories, and Shiva's acting itself. Shiva's struggle to emote the character can be seen at many scenes. Even though, this was one of his best acting performance.

Tldr; Worth to watch.

Subject chosen is an apt one and is the need of the hour, but the presentation extends for about 160 minutes which tests your patience. Lengthy dialogues and mundane music.
