A beautiful, but troubled, Indian movie star searches for love and respect in the celluloid jungle of Bollywood in Heroine, the latest “issue-based” effort from National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. Although the film doesn’t offer the emotional reward of his early Chandni Bar (2001) or the thought-provoking realism of Jail (2009), Heroine is packed with film industry follies enough to provide two hours of soapy entertainment for the hardcore Hindi film geek.

Bhandarkar has assembled an entertaining laundry list of Bollywood in-jokes, and squeezed as many of them as he could into the film. Some of them are spot-on: there’s the producers’ penchant for safely remaking South Indian hit films; the gorgeous lothario of a costar (model turned actor Arjun Rampal); the hunky cricketer with a weakness for actresses (the justifiably busy art house actor Randeep Hooda); and the airtight gay/bisexual closet.
