The film released on 4 April 2014 to mixed reviews from critics and was declared Semi Hit by the box office. It is a remake of the 2011 Telugu film Kandireega.
Main Tera Hero is a laugh riot, unapologetically mindless but infectiously boisterous and off-the-wall.
Do not look for logic and sense here. Just sit back and enjoy the harmless lunacy unleashed by a bunch of cranks whose actions would make little sense if they were to be judged by the rules normal human behaviour.
Main Tera Hero is an action-packed romantic comedy that is peppered with vivacious performances, peppy musical set pieces, and a breezy and an unusual love triangle that eventually acquires an additional angle.

However, once Main Tera Hero warms up and settles into its chosen off-kilter rhythm, it hurtles along without let and sets itself up nicely for a bouncy climax that is as crazy as anything else that the film has on offer.
The story, which is clearly only a pretext to hang the film’s many gags on, delivers frantic twists and turns that strain credulity.

Varun Dhawan pumps every ounce of strength into serving the film’s avowed purpose.
D’Cruz and Fakhri provide ideal foils to the male lead although the latter’s character is sketchy and her Hindi diction way too dodgy.
As one character in the film reminds another, forget the words, just focus on the emotions. In fact, it would be wise to ignore the emotions too.
Main Tera Hero, for all its excesses, is held together by its sustained comic energy. The sillier it turns, the better it gets.
The film has enough laugh-out-loud situations for the audience not to be overly put off by the screenplay’s obvious rough edges.

Give Main Tera Hero a shot. Not quite vintage David Dhawan, but it comes pretty close.
