Heroes: Why should you not join the Indian Army?

‘Heroes’, which was originally set to be released on June 6, 2008, hit the theaters on October 24, 2008, as a part of a ‘Diwali’ movie extravaganza. Samir Karnik, who directed Vivek Oberoi & Aishwarya Rai starrer ‘Kyun! Ho gaya na’, is the director of the movie. The film stars Sohail Khan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea, Amrita Arora and Vatsal Seth. Aseem Arora has written the story of this 20 crore- budget movie, which is going to be released under the banner of Eros Entertainment in India.

Originally ‘Heroes’ was titled ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’ (My India is Great). However, the title was changed at a later stage to its current name, as the producer and director wanted to avoid making it sound like a patriotic flick.

‘Heroes’ revolves round a student group, who are studying together in a film-making college. They (Sohail Khan & Vatsal Seth) are sent away for filming a documentary. The topic, which they choose for their documentary, is ‘Why should you not join the Indian Army’. For their project, they go on a long road trip (From Delhi to Chandigarh & then Manali to Ladakh). On the way, they try figuring out the reason why each and every vehicle passing by is having ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’ as its logo. Again, they come across several characters related to the Indian Army (in one way or the other) during their journey. All of these characters have a major impact on the life of these two students.

The music of this film has been composed by Sajid-Wajid & Monty. Lyrics (written by Sameer, Rahul B. Seth and Jalees Sherwani) of most of its song, especially ‘Mannata’, have been highly appreciated by everyone.

‘Heroes’ has been one of the most awaited arrivals of the festive season. With a star-studded cast, Samir Karnik will be looking forward to grab the attention of the global audience.
