Heroes (2008)
7/10
Underrated movie

Warning: Spoilers
A very good coming off age movie in a sense. The movie tries to show us the sacrifices of armed forces and their family in a realistic way ( well at least to some extent)

The director basically threw a spanner in this good movie by the stupid superhuman glorification of Sunny Deol's character which was not needed. A handicapped guy cracking the floor of a disco and unnecessary over acting by Sunny spoilt an otherwise good movie.

Even the last story was found wanting, as if the writer wrote the story in a hurry and couldn't think of a better storyline. But it was not as bad as the second story involving Sunny.

A very good concept and surprisingly good acting by vatsal and Sohail. Only if the writer and director had spent more time on the script and director, or if the director had dealt the subject with more maturity, this would have been an awesome movie.

Speaking off poor scriptwriting, the movie shows Monish Behl as a responsible journalist, yet it offers no explanation as to why he didn't post the 3 death letters, which he should have logically posted at first opportunity. And it also didn't make sense why after many years he gave the letters to the Sohail and his friend to hand deliver.

Also why rich kids like Sohail took a bike for the letter delivery and not a car didn't also make sense.

That's why overall I felt they screwed up an opportunity to make a really good movie.

It is still a good watch despite it's flaws.
