Heroes

"Boy i went to the theatre s*** scared fearing that bollywood will let the hell of boredom loose on me. But wat i get is a completely different film. A new concept tried is being tried over here. The movie tells the story of a 2 young men who go on a roadtrip to India and find our home made real life heroes. Wat i like about the movie is the entire feel they have given to it. Fun with some melodrama(not the usual one!!)and fun. Good thing about this movie is that they have not tried to convey a heavy message to the youth by using heavy dialogues n all. I am telling you seeing the fun these guys do while on a road trip on their bike..i am going to get me a bike and hit the roads. Explore the country and meet people of all the places. Believe me this film is not the usual run of the mill type bollywood film. Every actor has played their part with uplomb charisma and expertise. Sohail khan is real fun. The crazy whacky guy image suits him. I think for the first time i have seen sohail khan doing a role that has carved out for him and he has done justice to it. There are some beautiful shots of the Indian countryside. I am impressed by the director's use of visuals. Big things are said in a passing that's the USP of the film. Youngsters like me are busy trying to enter the rat race and become a part of the flock. This movie has given me motivation to do what i like the most. Finally i would like to say that this guy has done a great job breaking the mould of current Indian trend of storytelling which is marred by pointless terrorist attack films and other page 3 films. So i am giving him a high rating of 9 out of 10..."

"Two city slickers set out to deliver letters from dead servicemen to their far-flung families, and in the process, discover themselves. The premise of Heroes is interesting. And in parts Samir Karnik’s film does manage to say what it set out to: that pride (the Hindi ‘garv’ is a better word) keeps the families of the deceased soldiers going, that we civilians sleep peacefully only because someone has given up his life for us, and that we have a country only because we have a brave ‘fauji’ guarding our borders. But the director falls for the easiest trick in the book: he wrings tears out of so many situations that everything — even the supreme sacrifice that the soldiers make — turns trite..."

"After the epic disaster called 'Kyun ho gaya na', director Samir Karnik tries his hand at an epic coming of age tragicomedy, Heroes. The film has a barrage of Bollywood stars including Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Sohail Khan, Preity Zinta and Dino Morea. First things first - HEROES is not a war film like LOC or Border... it neither resorts to sloganeering nor long bullet whizzing battle sequences. HEROES is simply an enlightening road trip. Without spoiling the plot, Sohail Khan and Vatsal Seth are on the verge of failing their film school. They're given one last assignment as a saving grace, to travel a thousand kilometers, film a documentary and deliver three letters. And much like 'The Motorcycle Diaries', they finally learn the meaning of life. The first letter belongs to the Salman Khan-Preity Zinta story, which is arguably the best among the three. It is high on emotion and Preity especially delivers a dignified yet emotional performance. A few scenes, like the one at the Pak border are very moving..."

" Sometimes it takes only a moment to bring about a big change. One experience can transform you forever. One journey can set you on a path that you will follow all your life. Heroes is the story of one such journey. A journey enriched with moments and experience that changes the outlook of two young boys. Sammy and Ali are childhood friends. They have taken joint decisions in life, right from choosing a school to taking up a career. Even though they are not like-minded, they are together because they rely heavily on each other - two bodies, one soul. Sammy is an eccentric boy, high-spirited and has an uncanny knack of finding humor in the weirdest of situations. He's generous, compassionate yet impulsive. He is like a kid who needs to fall to learn how to walk. Ali on the other hand is quieter and more mature. Heroes is the story of these two boys who travel a thousand miles to deliver three letters as a part of their film school assignment. But little do they know that the journey they have embarked upon will give a new meaning to their life. They discover the power within themselves to change lives and events that are of importance. Heroes emphasizes on the simple experiences that can awaken feelings of patriotism. A fun road trip for two boys and a series of experiences that finite emotions that have never been experienced before, this is the underlying crux of the film. The film is an attempt to bring out the new age meaning of patriotism - 'You don't have to be a soldier to love your country'..."
