Ginia Bellafante New York Times What follows are dopey cultural clashes; scuttled financing for the film; further wounds to Chris the character's professional self-esteem; and efforts, alas, at tender emotionalism and Acting. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 18, 2013 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate It must be said that Bollywood Hero is an entirely novel kind of slog. Mar 18, 2013 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Bollywood Hero is largely predictable, and when it isn't predictable, it's only because the characters act nonsensically. Rated: 2/5 Mar 18, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not as bad as I though it would be, however way too long Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious! An interesting drama that interconnects a Hollywood actor's humorous approach in working on a Bollywood film project. Chris Kattan travels to India to work in an independent director's Bollywood film alongside a reputable Bollywood starlet. Chris Kattan, Neha Dhupia, Julian Sands, Pooja Kumar, and Ali Fazal stars. Worthy! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member very funny...very entertaining! it helps to like Chris Kattan (and I do)... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I was a big fan of Kattan decades ago, but his movies have been far from impressive. There are some good laughs, but I was hoping for a more Om Shanti Om or Chandni Chowk to China style movie. Instead, Kattan plays himself trying to realize his dream to be Indiana Jones by going to Mumbai. Good song and dance number at the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Chris Kattan is just pure comedic genius here & not too mention he does a very good job as a bollywood film lead!! This movie has a lot of funny scenes with some pretty cool cameos by other famous people i.e. keanu reeves poking fun at himself and the always funny maya rudolph, but the film has a very good Indian cast that does a superb job. If you want a cool bollywood musical comedy that is great for some funny comedy & a funny romantic comedy also thrown for good measure, than you'll definitely enjoy this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Smart, creative, tons of heart. And so much dancing! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
