The film’s primary shooting was done in locations like, Chandigarh, Ladakh and Punjab. Some of the portions were also canned in Delhi. Also some of the shooting also took place in Pangong Tso with Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Vatsel Seth.

“Heroes” has received generally positive reviews from the critics. Websites like, Bollywood Hungama gave the movie 3.5 stars out of a total 5 stars. The leading daily, The Indian Express says that the film manages to say that pride is the thing that keeps the families of the deceased soldiers living their lives. The film proves that our country is only free because our country has brave ‘soldiers’ who are guarding the country’s borders.

Heroes is no doubt a movie worth watching once atleast, the concept is very good. But are some directional flaws in the movie, first of all the star cast is not up to the mark and the story seems too extended sometimes. On the bright side, the sequence of preety and salman is awsome and really touching.

I keep hearing this show is really good. I didn't know there was a movie. However, when I get into a show, I want to see every episode, so I'd have a LOT to catch up on!!

Is it good enough to spend all that time??

abeja I think Sonia is actually talking about the Bollywood movie Heros, if you read the post the stars in the movie are Indian! So think you have got slightly mixed up!
