Tiger Shroff’s debut movie Heropanti has been the talk of the town for quite sometime now. The movie is a remake of Telugu superhit film Parugu. Also, debutant Kriti Sanon is paired opposite Tiger Shroff.

Choudhary’s (Prakash Raj) elder daughter Renu (Sandeepa Dhar) runs away with some not-so-important person. Fuming Choudhary sends his goons to nab the two. Unable to find them he kidnaps the boy’s friends and one among the friends is the dashing, super cool Bablu (Tiger Shroff).

Then love at first sight happens to dear Bablu and he falls for Dimpy (Kriti Sanon). Problem is, she is Chaudhary’s younger daughter. And so from here on we see Bablu showing off his heropanti and trying to win over Dimpy and change daddy’s stony heart.

The makers of the movie did put it a lot of effort trying to make the typical South Indian movie appropriate for Bollywood. Tiger Shroff is pretty good at martial arts and it shows. However, there is less of action and more of drama.

Tiger Shroff does an excellent job. Sometimes he just lacks the sincerity that a rugged hero needs. Kriti Sanon is impressive although she barely has anything to say all through the movie.

Heropanti is director Sabbir Khan’s second movie, the first being Kambaqt Ishk. The movie has some repeated, over rated dialogues, fairly good music and lots and lots of melodrama. Some dialogues will remind you of those 80s action movies.

Overall, it is worthy to watch once.
