A journalist reports on the life of Mahi Arora, a renowned actress and film heroine, describing her as unstable and problematic, but damaged and lonely due to childhood trauma, and bipolar disorder. Through a flashback, we are shown Mahi's relationship with leading actor, Aryan. Aryan is going through a divorce with his wife whilst dating Mahi. The couple makes a sex tape of themselves. When Mahi learns of an intimate scene Aryan is shooting for a movie, she creates a scene on the set, which upsets Aryan. The couple reconciles but Mahi is repeatedly insulted by Aryan's wife. While driving back from a party with Aryan, she raises the topic of his wife, which results in her being thrown out of the car.
Realising her place in Aryan's life, Mahi goes into depression, putting her career in decline. A friend convinces Mahi to leave the past behind her and re-enter the industry so Mahi decides to rejuvenate her career. She employs a public relations manager, Pallavi, who uses sensationalist tactics to reinvent Mahi's image. Mahi starts a relationship with the Vice Captain of the Indian National Cricket team, Angad Paul. Soon, her personal and professional life is stable once again. On the advice of Pallavi, she uses Angad's connections to get a role in a big budget film. The lead actor of the film, Abbas Khan, a married playboy, attempts to initiate an affair with her. She rejects him, which causes him to seek revenge. He demands that the director re-edit the movie so that story becomes about him and an item girl. Mahi is dissatisfied despite the film being a success, and in a desperate attempt to prove her acting skills, works in a low-budget art film for months. Angad proposes to her but she feels that they should concentrate on their careers. This causes their relationship to end. The art film never completes, and Mahi goes into depression again. She is also denied the opportunity to adopt a child, due to her history of alcoholism and psychiatric problems. Since she cannot get a role in big-budget productions, she decides to work on a low-budget film with newcomers.
Heroine movie
Mahi meets Aryan at a wedding, and he apologises. The two rekindle their relationship. Aryan says that he wants her to do a big budget film with him but the director is reluctant to cast her as she has lost her appeal. Mahi becomes obsessed with the thought of losing the role to another heroine. At a poorly-attended press conference for an upcoming film, Mahi is mocked by journalists who inform her that the director has cast another actress opposite Aryan. Distraught, Mahi and Pallavi decide to create controversy by leaking the sex tape of her and Aryan. The video becomes a viral sensation and as a result, the low-budget film becomes an instant hit.
Pre-production work on the film was expected to commence during the summer of 2010 but was put on hold due to Kapoor being busy with other commitments.[19] During this period, Bhandarkar announced that he would be making another project while putting Heroine on hold.[19] Though speculated to be based on the lives of yesteryear divas like Madhubala and Marilyn Monroe, Bhandarkar denied the reports saying that the movie is a "contemporary film which reveals the underbelly of the movie industry and its well-kept secrets". In an attempt to prepare his protagonist for the film, the director prepared a three-hour documentary on Hollywood actresses Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Vivien Leigh.[20] Designer Manish Malhotra was signed on to design the costumes.[21] Choreography of the movie was done by Remo D'Souza, Ganesh Acharya and Jasmin Oza.[22]
The first look of the movie was released as part of the 64th Cannes Film Festival.[25] A promotional poster was released during a press conference in which Ronnie Screwvala of UTV Motion Pictures, Madhur Bhandarkar, and Aishwarya Rai officially announced the movie.[26] The director said, "The movie is a glamorous yet bold story of the internal journey of a superstar. I am certain it will appeal to audiences across the globe and Aishwarya was a perfect choice for the role. In fact, no one could've played it better." Screwvala stated "With Heroine, we plan to take things to the next level. When you watch the film, you will feel that the role was written with someone as talented and stunning as Aishwarya in mind."[27] The actress too admitted that she was "looking forward to this new journey in the movie." It was also announced that Rai will have a wardrobe of more than 40 outfits designed by Manish Malhotra in the film.[28] Explaining why he was launching the project in Cannes, Screwvala alluded to Rai's star power saying, "She is the brand ambassador for India and for Indian cinema when it comes to the French Riviera." The actress was quick to deny any reference to her personal life being portrayed in the movie and said that the entire idea was a result of Bhandarkar's conceptualisation.[29] The official press release distributed as a part of the announcement stated that "The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine, Mahi from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'. The film is a daring, shocking, glamorous, scandalous behind-the-scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitz and glamour that our film stars inhabit. For a country obsessed with films and film stars, Heroine will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see what really goes on in the lives of India's sweethearts."[30]
The trailer was released on 25 July 2012. After the release of the trailer, a controversy arose. In the film's promo, a dialogue of Kareena Kapoor: "If a heroine buys a car, it's gifted to her by a businessman. If she goes to LA (Los Angeles), she's getting plastic surgery done and, god forbid, if she goes to Dubai, you people make a rate-card for her," was not appreciated by the people of Dubai. To avoid hurting sentiments, director Madhur Bhandarkar has had the offending statement censored in the Dubai version. He clarified, "We have censored it. There are some people who have raised objections. But we did not mean to demean anyone, Dubai is my personal favourite city."[35]
The rich, earthy woods at the center of the conflict is where this style is seen the most. It contains mammoth trees spiraling off in every odd direction blocking out the frame and dwarfing our heroine as she wanders through it, singing songs to herself for comfort. As she settles in and spends more time in the woods, it opens up and reveals itself to be a place of stunning beauty with babbling brooks, toppled over trees with their roots at impossible angles and ancient pathways waiting to be discovered.
Some recent heroines, including Moana and the Encanto siblings Luisa and Mirabel, have been celebrated for modeling more realistic body types. But the company has also caught flack for others, including a 2016 short film character whose waist was nearly thinner than her neck.
The iconic Jessica Rabbit has since received an unwarranted makeover, fitting her with an oversized trenchcoat and removing her from the damsel-turned-heroine role (after she essentially rescues herself from the incessant Weasel). She has now taken a leaf out of Eddie Valiant's book instead and embarked on a private detective career path, and most die-hard fans are heartbroken at losing their favorite female figurehead.
Matsuzaki Hatori is a high school student with a crush on her childhood friend, Terasaka Rita. She believes her life is like a shojo manga and Rita will eventually choose her as his heroine. However, Rita begins dating Adachi Miho, a nerdy girl in their classroom. Even though Rita has dated before, Hatori can tell that Rita really likes Miho, and it's the first time Hatori has felt threatened by a girl Rita likes. Because of Hatori's jealousy, the most popular playboy student, Hiromitsu Kosuke, takes an interest in her. Adapted from the manga "Heroine Shikkaku" (ヒロイン失格) by Koda Momoko (幸田もも子). Edit Translation
Folks may whine this way or that about the foundering dinghy that is Titanic but the real crime of the minute is the non-criticism of Jackie Brown. Its reviews have had all the analytical ferocity of a dog rolling over and playing dead, and we can be sure Quentin Tarantino has rubbed that pup's belly--explaining feelingly to a wheedling New York Times or an absurd Charlie Rose about how the borrowing of mediocre orchestral tracks from '70s B-movie is a gesture of high art. He's a used car salesman, but the problem is, people are actually snapping up the Gremlins and Pintos he purveys.
Step back: Jackie Brown is fundamentally a boring movie, which has to be bought into to be enjoyed or believed. The devices that worked in the past are now really straining under the pop culture pressure and expectations: the tangled slice-of-underworld-life plots, time sequence double-takes, vintage insta-cool sound track, and all the rest are present--but sloppy and unsatisfying. Fundamentally, Tarantino has failed to make things click; the elements fizzling in a way reminiscent of the almost-but-not-quite of Mike Leigh's Career Girls.
Adapted from Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, the plot follows a female flight attendant (Pam Grier) as she sets about holding on to some cash, orbited by a small-time gunrunner (Samuel L. Jackson) and a lovelorn bailbondsman (Robert Forster). Unfortunately, Tarantino has complicated things by letting too much B-movie slip into his creation: specifically, bits of a score from the blaxploitation movie Coffy and a none-too-riveting acting style on the part of the title's heroine.
Which is a pity, since Tarantino plainly believes his movie to be putting his sensitive side on parade: this is his touching portrait of a woman who is vulnerable yet strong. Accordingly, we are subjected to long stretches of Grier, punctuated with experimental or retro techniques. Grier gets a '70s long-shot in which we wait for her to walk towards us from 50 feet away (sent up hilariously by Woody Allen in Annie Hall). The screen goes blurry for Forster's bondsman as he thinks. Grier and Jackson carry on an argument behind glass doors. 2ff7e9595c
