Heroine (2012)
8/10
Not a disappointment
2 August 2020
Just finished watching this film, I don't agree with the rest of the reviews on here, I thought this was a good film, and bought to light the pressures that Bollywood or Hollywood actors have in life to maintain their star status. I found this film very moving, as I remember some of the legends of Bollywood actors like Parveen Babe who died alone, and Zenat Aman, who was beaten and abused at the hands of men. It's very hard to find good roles and maintain youthful looks in the Industry that is predominately run by men, especially men who take Advantage of a lead actress for their own evil uses This story looks at the leading lady who struggles with the harsh reality of keeping up her fame in the film industry, the harsh truths of the jealousy and back stabbing, the struggle of mental health ,drinks,drugs, to ease the pain. Broken relationships, and loneliness. kareena Kapoor acting was really good, I thought she did a good job, believable acting, I felt so sorry for her character, she only has two people who really care for her, her mum and her manager, but even they can't talk her into seeking help, very sad in parts, and she protrays them well. I enjoyed this film, ignore the other crappy reviews, watch it and see for yourselves. A very good insight into the film world of BOLLYWOOD, And the back stage drama and realism that goes into being an actor. I enjoyed it.
