"Hero" is a 2019 Telugu action-thriller directed by Anand Annamalai and starring Vijay Deverakonda. Malavika Mohanan, Nassar, and others play supporting parts in the film.
The plot of "Hero" centres around Arjun (Vijay Deverakonda), a young man who is obsessed with bike racing. He is engaged in a hit-and-run accident and is compelled to confront the son of a powerful politician who is the cause of the disaster. The film delves into issues such as justice, corruption, and the power of the common man.


Vijay Deverakonda gives a compelling portrayal as Arjun, demonstrating his acting range and ability to convey complicated emotions.

The action sequences and cinematography in the film are excellent, producing a thrilling and adrenaline-fueled experience for the audience. With multiple surprising twists and turns, the plot is well-crafted and keeps the audience involved throughout.
The picture does, however, contain problems. In places, the pacing feels languid, and some plot components feel manufactured and forced. The dialogues, while strong, might come across as preachy at times.
