The promos didnt look fresh and the songs didnt quite pick up, but I still thought lets give Heroine a chance. Mahi Arora (Kareena) is a star with a bipolar disorder. She is big in the industry & dating superstar Aryan Khanna (Arjun Rampal). He doesnt quite marry her & she goes crazy. She then has a downfall and rises again and goes down again and rises again...and goes...never mind. Kareena looks stunning & genuinely does a goo job. Sadly, the script doesnt support her. Randeep Hooda & Arjun Rampal ham their way through the film. Shahana Goswami is great. I wonder why Madhur.B would rehash a crappy version of his earlier films and throw it back at us. This one is not worth watching. Though it gives you a fresh feeling, really! I felt so relaxed and stress free after a deep sleep. Kidding. It doesnt let you.

How did it fare? Insanely tiring & far from fun, this one makes you feel bad for Kareena. She deserves better.

At some point (12 minutes in), you realize that Madhur Bhandarkar has rehashed his previous films and thrown Heroine at us.

It has his usual elements of gay characters, lame socialites, shady politicians & most of the Page 3 Fashion cast reprising the same roles.
