Saw it last night.
Can't remember when was the last time (perhaps never) when I did not turn in my seat like in Heroine.
Wow!

I don't think any other actress could have suited for the role as perfectly as Kareena did.

Film run time: 150 min

So did it numb you? Lol and Poo mesmerized you and took your hoshh away lol?? Was it that good and engrossing?
I am off to see remastered ET on big screen and tomorrow 4K remastered restoration of LOA;)

Yes, it's that good. I think, Dirty Picture became a hit for it's vulgarity even though it's ending was predictable.
HEROINE is comparatively clean. Skin show, yes but no vulgarity (1-2 exceptions for the plot requirements). There are enough twists and turns and anxiety what'll happen now. Always a hope of come back in back stabbing industry. Would it be a happy ending or tragic or somewhat in-between, suspense stays on till end.

Dirty Picture was a story of 'B' movies actress, HEROINE is a story of an 'A' movies' top actress.

Ah I see!
