Sooraj is out of jail and is ready to start a new life with Radha but to live a life he needed to earn. So he starts a fitness centre for living with support from Radha and Dheeraj. Then Dheeraj introduces Ranvijay (Vivan Bhatena), who is a smuggler, and a helper of Pasha but shows them that he is innocent.

But Ranvijay still holds grudge against Sooraj. A fight ensues and Ranvijay is shot by Radhas father. Radhas father accepts Sooraj and they get married and live a happy life.Mohar Bash from Times of India gave 3* to the film stating that Sculpted as a full throttle masala entertainer, Hero is plot-heavy. And while you are well acquainted with the story, Nikhil and Salmans sensibility works as midas touch, giving the film a different texture.

It is slick and never allows its viewers to feel restless. For its 132 minutes crisp runtime.Bollywood Hungama gave 2/5* to the film stating that On the whole, HERO fails the litmus test of rehashing a classic for the Generation Next. It appeals in very small measures and is not an ideal weekend entertainer. If you a die-hard Salman Khan fan, you may want to patronise, else avoid.

Koimoi gave 2.5/5* to the film stating that Hero is a complete throwback of the Ek Gunda Ek IG Ki Beti Se Kaise Pyaar Kar Sakta Hai era. Nikhil Advani misses out on presenting a completely entertaining plot. All the elements seem scattered and hence there is neither enough romance nor action nor drama. The screenplay is a little hotchpotch and that is what affects the film badly.

Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN gave 2/5* stating that This is lazy, indifferent filmmaking, and a colossal bore for most of its running time. A video featuring Salman Khan singing the terrific title track at the end is too little too late. Im going with two out of five.Indian express gave 0/5* to the film stating that This stale story is transported to 2015 for reasons best known to the filmmakers. If you are giving us a brand new pair, what is to stop you from giving us a brand new plot? And if you do have to remake that 80s show, why cant you do a better job?
Martin Dsouza from Glamsham gave 0/5* to the film stating that This film is just an extended promo for two star kids of the industry who have got the backing from Salman Khan, Subhash Ghai and Eros International; not necessarily in that order.

Vishal Thakur of the Hindi daily Hindustan gave the film a 1.5/5 rating and criticised the films plot and acting.
