It's finally that day. Kareena Kapoor's much discussed and awaited Heroine
releases today. The movie depicts the life of a heroine in B-town - the
challenges and the triumphs, the despair and the glory. It promises to
be a role of a lifetime for it's star, who turns 32 today, and we can
think of no better birthday present.
Madhur Bhandarkar has a resume of thought-provoking films (read Chandni Bar, Fashion) and, going by reviews of early birds who have already seen the movie, this installment is shaping up to be another feather in his cap.
Heroine began on a false note when original star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan announced her pregnancy and was dropped from the movie, despite having launched it in a grand fashion at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Her ouster was the cause of much debate and discussion on whether actresses were allowed to have personal lives and the feasibility of introducing no pregnancy clauses in their contracts.
