The action scenes are invested with risk and vigour. There has to be a heart-wrenching justification for a glorious revenge and Diphan does exactly that. The villains come up with schemes to endanger the hero one after another. The list of reasons for hero's outburst are long and familiar. The setting is a slum where every inhabitant is fervent about Antony. There is an old stunt-master who is his guru pleading for his help, a jealous, incapable villain, a good-hearted film director and a heroine with a mane of golden hair and cherry red lips that part to give a glowy smile. The rest of the characters are so moulded that every single act of the hero looks majestic and sometimes unearthly. He adds pace to create the setting so that he can devote ages for the hero to walk, to run, to smile,to speak and finally to deal with a prolific number of baddies. Diphan hastens along the plot while sprinkling the basic ingredients in an action-narrative. Prithviraj who plays Antony looks brawnier than ever before and the plot is nourished with reasons for him to tear apart his shirts that could barely contain the muscles teeming inside. Even the very narrative of the film is devoted to a retired stunt master Dharmarajan. If he delayed the thrill towards the middle in Puthiya Mugham, he is more religious about stunts in Hero.


Movie Review: In Hero, Diphan proudly flaunts his uninhibited liking for action.

Story: Hero is about a flamboyant youth Antony who comes to assist a retired stunt master who is desperately looking for making a comeback to films.
