Its the Diwali weekend and I decided to bunk office and head for the FDFS* of Heroes without any knowledge, hype, or expectations from the film. Just the previous day, I saw Taran Adarsh’s take on Heroes [he seemed to have liked it], but if you know his reviews as well as I do then you know they’ve got to be taken with a pinch of salt. I honestly was not expecting a crowd at Ramakrishna Gliterrati, but I was delighted to see a crowd, a HOUSE-FULL board, and black tickets being sold [Rs. 40 ka Rs.100]. I guess the hero-like star-cast including Salman Khan brought in the crowds. This is the first sign that a film has the potential to deliver. As Heroes rolled on, my wife and I enjoyed, wept, and felt a sense of pride for our armed forces and realized that along with the officers, their families are heroes too

Sammy aka ‘Saand’ [Sohail Khan] and Ali aka ‘Nawab Saab’ [Vatsal Seth] are best buddies having a blast as graduates of the Film Academy. Their blast includes [failed] attempts to seduce their girlfriends, being strippers at all-girls birthday parties, drinks, bindaas attitude etc..
