Heroine, though, is not just like Fashion, but resembles every film Bhandarkar has ever made before, and in the most terrible way.

If you are a Madhur Bhandarkar fan, you could skip this one. It may be disappointing as you’ve seen all this before. If you are a Kareena Kapoor fan, it’s a treat.

“Heroine” is no different – it feels like Bhandarkar has copy-pasted characters from his films to this one, changing their names and making cosmetic changes to suit this film.

As “Heroine” arrives in theatres, Madhur Bhandarkar says he has made a courageous and compact film.

What does a director with an 'insider's perspective' do when he's already told the stories close to his heart in two of his earlier films?

Madhur Bhandarkar claims to make women-centric films. It's another thing that he never lets his women be either happy or successful without a tragedy or two.
