The idea certainly might be to show how she is susceptible to stress, frustration, insecurity, loneliness and such similar emotions. the pre-interval and pre-climax moments) where she shows shrewdness in manipulating things to her advantage, Mahie, more or less, seems weak. In addition, Mahie's frequent failure underlines her invariable vulnerability and thereby there isn't even a short-lived heroism to the heroine's character.
So, unlike films in similar vein like Fashion or that had a well-defined graph, here the narrative seems rather flat. Through the film, we predominantly see only Mahie's downfall through different instances and episodes. Since we never see Mahie's struggle to success, we don't see any contrast in her character when we see her failure. Initially one assumes the story has a lot more to offer and hence cuts short her past but even that isn't the case. Right from the title song, one is informed that she is a ruling heroine. Until she is disillusioned by the flashlights of the make-believe film industry!Ī major shortcoming of the narrative is that it never highlights Mahie Arora's induction in the industry or upsurge in career to making it to the top slot of heroines.
When nothing goes her way, she even resorts to forging a controversy to give her career the much-needed boost. From being a good-looking star, she makes efforts to be a good actress by trying her hands at art cinema. Then she comes close to cricketer Angad Paul (Randeep Hooda) but ambitions ruin this bonding as well. She is in love with superstar Aryan Khanna (Arjun Rampal), who is on a verge of divorce, but her eccentricity and insecurity kills their relationship. Heroine largely plays as the biographical account of a film actress Mahie Arora (Kareena Kapoor) and sees her uneven journey in the industry.
