This dreadful film is a classic proof that a big-budget and innovative stunts cannot save a poor script. A director who just tries to collect many clichéd moments from different films in history cannot make a film good enough. A film cannot look new and fresh with advanced film-making when the dialogues are so ancient. A title like "The Most Expensive Indian Film Ever" cannot draw audiences to cinemas. This film was evidently treated like a good lure to make money. But happily it didn't work out. Sunny Deol stands there with no expressions. Preity Zinta may be the film's saving grace. She looks amazingly beautiful and manages to do the best of the otherwise bland role she was given. There is hardly a chemistry between Sunny and Preity, by the way. Priyanka Chopra cannot act to save her life in her debut role (thankfully she would later improve). The result is a disastrous, pretentious flick for children, who too will get bored at some point. Avoid.

The Hero is another one of Sunny Deols disaster movies. Sunny enjoys making movies, which he thinks he is loved by audience. Yes, but only people you know, not millions in the world. He once again beats up 100's of guys alone, When will he learn he is not Supermen. He does the amazing stunts with a big belly. He even out smarts the English Special services. I can go on discriminating this guy, but he will continue to make Flops. This was Priyanka Chopra's second film, where she didn't look pretty as usual. Maybe, because her role didn't demand this. Sadly, Priyanka couldn't save this film from being a SUPER FLOP. Preity is annoying and delivers a boring performance. Overall, this movie was awful and is a big waste of time.
This movie is said to be the most expensive film till date made by an Indian filmmaker.Anil Sharma is quite an old film maker who has experienced many things in his life and has thought of how to make his movies.Casting Sunny Deol was the first right decision he made as no other actor could have taken his place for such a role.It was a difficult role which needed lots of emotional and action packed activities.Sunny performs amazingly.It is said that he actually jumped the final jump in the movie from the top of the mountain.That's incredible. The movie is a love story of a spy as the name suggests.If you can imagine Sunny looking different in his make ups, then you might understand on what basis the movie has been made.Pritey Zinta delivers a good performance.The rest of the cast gives in their hard work and Amrish Puri yet again proves that he is the best Villain there is.
Songs are average while the action sequences(especially with the wrestler in the lab in Canada is rocking!!!)are just too good.Allan Amin yet again proves his modern mind and his outlook. Overall, it is fun movie and a great time pass.

The Hero is true to its title, especially with Sunny Deol playing the action hero. This is a the second Desi James Bond type movie that Sunny is doing (the first was Himmat in '96). The movie has an interesting direction, thanks to Anil Sharma, who directed the awesome patriotic action film, Gadar. Action in this movie is superb, especially the scene where Sunny falls 11,000 feet down and does not even get hurt (Sunny is known for doing his own death-defying stunts). I like that fight with that giant guy (I forget his name, but I know he is a famous wrestler) and the train climax. Amrish Puri is the greatest and most intriguing villain ever to hit the big screens, and only he could pull off his role as the ISI agent with élan (I do miss seeing him, but he will be remembered forever). (Only flaw was playing the same song repeatedly as it got annoying). The confrontation scenes between Amrish Puri and Sunny Deol are definitely worth watching. Anyways, there are twists and turns to keep you at the edge of your seat. Just sit back and relax and enjoy the movie!! Cheers!!
Just want to say, that if you watch the movie with some guys enjoying a drink, you really enjoy it.
This movie was then the most expensive movie made in India.
however, what classifies this movie are some earthy dialogues like 'Daadi badhaane se koi Mussalman nahi ban jaata' There are also some good Pakistani characters this movie (played by Pravir Dabas and Priyanka Chopra) and it says that it is bad to burn a Pakistani Flag. So, this is nit as Jingoistic as other Anil Sharma/Sunny D movies.
This movie is as nonsensical as other such movies and can be enjoyed only if you are drinking with your buddies.

THE HERO is one of the best spy thriller from india... right behind AANKHEN some 30 years ago, ironically that blockbuster starred SUNNY'S father megastar DHARMENDRA... THE HERO is technically as good as big hollywood productions, stunts are breathtaking, movie is highly entertaining and for all indians who like good movies this must be seen...
Sunny does a good job. Politics are the only thing that stand between good and great. Pakistanis are not evil. Muslims are not evil. Kashmir is a land blighted as much by ISI as by the Indian Army.
That said, there were some problems with the plot. However, those used to Deol's fanciful movies will ignore this oversight.

The Hero is an Indian reincarnation of James Bond with none other than Sunny Deol. The reason I scored it a perfect ten is become it was my the first ever Spy Film. I remember watching this film when it was released in theaters. I was jusy 7 at that time. At that age, I didn't knew about Bond, Indo-Pak rivalry, Covert Spies or any other related thing and I just enjoy the movie experience.
