Bollywood Goes Gaga Over 'Hero'

Salman Khan's latest production venture 'Hero' is being loved for the chemistry between the leads, the incredible soundtrack, and the larger than life action. Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty have passed the acid test at the box office! 'Hero' is the second highest debutant film ever at the Indian box office, second only to Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year'. This is a record breaking day 1 surpassing bigger star films like 'Drishyam', 'Piku', 'Bombay Velvet', and 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' despite having a new cast.

Friends and well-wishers from the industry showered their love on the newcomers and gave away good wishes for the movie. Here's what they wrote on Twitter:
