Heroes’ movie to release on October 24th

The next big movie on the block is Heroes – which is somehow shaping up to seem like a Rang De Basanti. The comparing of a new generations aspiration with patriotic flavor. Only in “Rang De..” the patriots were based during the 1920’s while here it is contemporary. But the general thrust is the same, modern young men out on a voyage to discover themselves.

In Heroes the two main protagonists are Sohail Khan and Vatsal Sheth. The idea seems novel- two students of a film institute go to the border to deliver three letters. And during this assignment they come across the real heroes of the country – that is the soldiers who man our borders. Here the list gets a bit bigger with some erstwhile big stars – Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea, and starlet Riya Sen.

The promos look very fresh and clean. A lot of Ladakh and Leh – these places can never look jaded. The concept seems different. And the cast is a bit tricky. But all said and done eventually it has to be a good movie to click. Best of luck to this new set of heroes.
