Arora is an absolute train-wreck who gets dumped on the road by her superstar lover (Arjun Rampal).īut fortunately, she doesn’t wallow in self-pity. But she does it all with gut-wrenching vulnerability.
This film about a mercurival diva ticks the stereotypes attached to a fading siren.Īs star Mahi Arora, Kareena Kapoor drinks and swears like a sailor, and is more tantrum-prone than a fussy toddler. So what could director Madhur Bhandarkar bring to the table? Plenty, if his latest directorial venture, Heroine, is anything to go by. We were shocked, entertained and educated in equal measure. So in terms of showcasing the grime behind the glitz and glamour, these films had it covered. In Vidya Balan’s The Dirty Picture, it was established that top movie icons are prone to raging alcoholism, and in the more recent Raaz 3, Bipasha Basu proved that actresses are an insecure, self-destructive lot who won’t hesitate to kill their younger rivals. When Kareena Kapoor’s ambitious magnum opus Heroine was unveiled, it made me wonder if the world (specifically the movie-mad Indians) were ready for yet another film about the big bad world of Bollywood.
