Frustrated that nobody in Hollywood will give him a chance as a serious actor, Chris signs on to star in a Bollywood production called Peculiar Dancing Boy. But filming in India offers its share of challenges, including showbusiness rivalries, production issues, and of course, angry bad guys that force the funnyman to become an all singing, all dancing action star, who rescues the girl in real life. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Ginia Bellafante, New York Times
What follows are dopey cultural clashes; scuttled financing for the film; further wounds to Chris the character's professional self-esteem; and efforts, alas, at tender emotionalism and Acting.

Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times
Bollywood Hero is largely predictable, and when it isn't predictable, it's only because the characters act nonsensically.

Troy Patterson, Slate
It must be said that Bollywood Hero is an entirely novel kind of slog.

Belinda Acosta, Austin Chronicle
A great romp and often laugh-out-loud funny.
