Samir Karnik has come up with his third venture,
‘Heroes’. His two earlier projects – Kyuon Ho Gaya Na and
Nanhe Jaislamer could not do better at the box office. Thus
his expectations with this film are huge. Starring the
biggies of the trade – Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol,
Sohail Khan, Dino Morea, Mithun Chakraborty, Preity Zinta
and Vatsal Seth, ‘Heroes’ has potential to hit the hearts.
Since the promos have been showing the men in uniform, it
doesn’t mean that this flick is a war film though it talks
about love for the country. But it’s not like a JP Dutta
film or anti Pakistan movie. It’s a wonderfully made film
focusing on the love for the nation and patriotism. |

The reels unzip showing two aspiring filmmakers who
decide to make an anti-army movie, justifying the
youth’s aversion towards the defence services. For
their research they get hold of a few undelivered
letters written by three soldiers during the Kargil
War. These letters bring forth old stories of the
dead soldiers and the pain their families went
through long after the war was over.

The film has evoking strong emotions. It also
arouses strapping patriotic feelings inside you. There are
moments, when you automatically salute the guards of the
nation. The ending is brilliant with the message that you
don’t have to be a soldier to love your country.
Samir Karnik appears as a great storyteller here. The
cinematography by Gopal Shah and Binod Pradhan is superb.
The music is poor. ‘Mannata’ is the one, which is hummable.
Dialogues are the ones to rave about. |

Amongst the characters, Salman Khan does the finest
job of his career. He is great to watch. Preity
Zinta is a treat to watch when she speaks Punjabi
with so much ease. Sohail Khan enacts well. Sunny
Deol does well but Bobby Deol loots the hearts with
his performance. Vitsal Seth is okay. Dino is
likeable. Mithun justifies the role. Others are also
passable.
On the whole, ‘Heroes’ is a brilliant effort by

Karnik. The film will work big at the box office. |
