    Heroes- Taran Adarsh – 3.5/5
    By Taran Adarsh, October 23, 2008 – 13:10 IST

    Jog your memory a bit. Samir Karnik’s first two movies [KYUN HO GAYA NA, NANHE JAISALMER] have been critical and commercial disasters. But Samir has assembled an impressive cast for his new outing HEROES. The billboards look really impressive. You think, chalo, dekhte hain, will Samir deliver this time? Will his fortunes change for better? Come to think of it, you saunter into the auditorium with zilch expectations. HEROES is an underdog.

    Before we delve any further, let’s clear a few misconceptions pertaining to this film. Just because the promos highlight the men in uniform, it doesn’t mean HEROES is a ‘war film’. Sure, it talks about love for the nation, but HEROES is not anti-Pakistan, is not jingoistic either, is nowhere close to BORDER, LOC and the likes, in terms of content.

    Roadside Romeo Review – Taran Adarsh – 2/5

    The premier production house [Yash Raj Films] teams up with one of the biggest studios of West [Walt Disney Pictures] for an animation film. You expect this collaboration to yield incredible results. Animation movies like THE LION KING and SHREK have appealed to every strata of movie-going audience the world over. Although ‘Made in India’ animation films are making their way into our plexes, the results, most of the times, are amateurish.

    But ROADSIDE ROMEO pulls it off. In terms of animation [Tata Elxsi/VCL], it’s a step forward as compared to the other animation films. But there’s a hitch: Hackneyed script [penned by debutante director Jugal Hansraj].

    It appears Taran is certainly biased about RR. Most people have very good things to say about this film.

    Having seen RR, I will say Taran’s review is on the spot.

    Filmmakers and studios seek a way into the family pocketbook through animated films.

    Animesh Kariya, a 12-year-old Mumbai resident, dug into his pocket money to procure tickets to the 90-minute animation film, Roadside Romeo. His mother explains his excitement, “It is holiday time and he has been really eager to take us [his parents] out for a movie.” Kariya and some few million kids, long ignored by filmmakers, will soon have an array of animation movies to choose from — thanks to India’s software success story graduating to the creative space.

    This also explains why filmmakers are falling all over themselves to market animation and digitised content to and through kids. Bollywood trade analysts estimate that leading Bollywood production houses are setting aside sums to the tune of Rs 20 crore per animation film.
