Heropanti 2 trailer: Another long advertisement of a shirtless Tiger Shroff, who can fight, dance like a dream but still not act!

What separates one Tiger Shroff film from the other? The shirts he wears? The female leads? The title, the villains he smashes into pieces or the director? We're not quite sure of it, more so after watching the trailer of the (non) actor's next release, Heropanti 2, directed by Ahmed Khan. The various memes about the actor's legs and abs having more personality than his face is proved right again in a trailer that's sure to give many meme-makers a lot of fodder for the days to come. To give him credit where's due, the trailer isn't atrocious because of his 'acting chops' alone. There's a lot of unintentional humour that keeps you 'glued' to the screens.

To begin with, the mastermind behind the world's biggest cyber crimes is introduced as one Laila (do we care even if it's Majnu? played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui who hams like there's no tomorrow) applying a red nail-polish, garrish lipstick and killing people with knives as if he's eating watermelon with a fork. In comes Babloo (played by Tiger Shroff - what character names have they come up with?) to keep this notorious criminal at check. The introduction of Babloo comes with a series of labels as if they're endorsing an automobile or a tech product (not that Tiger is any different) - words like agility, breathless, robust, exuberant, power, strength, intensity, luminous flash on your screen.

Babloo flamboyantly walks on the beach while wearing a sleeveless shirt, leaving his buttons open (as if we're asking for it?). Before you can come to terms with this 'magnificence', his girlfriend (played by Tara Sutaria, gives Tiger some tough acting competition) tells they could've loved, made out if only Babloo didn't run away (are they talking about the audience?). In the next scene, an English-speaking foreigner asks him to remove his pants and he obeys her orders expressionlessly akin to the robot Chitti (from Rajinikanth's Robot). AR Rahman's background score sounds as if the singer, composer was asked to divide all the words in the lyrics into many pieces and sing it as they please.

Later, Babloo and Laila come face to face and the latter is obsessed with his one-liner about 'phatna' (i.e. audience's reaction to the trailer). The next scene, there's a blast on a railway track and Babloo's pants are torn as well (of course, in addition to the shirt). He does kung-fu, fights even sculptures, uses swords, all interspersed with shots of Laila who needs no reason to laugh (was he laughing at the film though?). There are helicopters, cars flying and Tiger Shroff stands atop a train, does a superman jump over a lake, ends up at a monastery too. 

Nawazuddin's dialogue 'Bahut ho gayi tere heropanti' couldn't have come at a better time. (exactly our reaction too!) However, the ultimate killer is the last line 'Sabko aati nahi, mere jati nahi'. We wish we could tell him 'hum to film dekhne bhi nahi jayenge'. What a classic we have in store for this April 29! The audiences who watch it are set to be the real 'heroes' indeed! Now, do you get why the film was titled Heropanti 2? Shouldn't director Shankar be casting Tiger in Robo 3 already?
