Heroine (IPA: [ˈhɛroʊɪn]) is a 2012 Indian drama film directed, written, and co-produced by Madhur Bhandarkar. Revolving around the life of a once successful film actress whose career is on the decline, the film features Kareena Kapoor as the protagonist along with actors Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda and Rakesh Bapat. Additionally, the project also stars Shahana Goswami, Divya Dutta, Helen, Shillpi Sharma, Mugdha Godse and Lillete Dubey in supporting roles. Heroine released on 21 September 2012 across 2000 screens.
Box Office Collection marked Bhandarkar's film and Faisal Saif's Jigyaasa as better made films till date with Bollywood used as a backdrop.
The movie begins with Mahi Arora (Kareena Kapoor), a renowned actress and film heroine, being thrown out of a car at night. She hails a taxi to a police station with the intention of lodging a complaint. Before she can do so, her agent Rashid Bhai (Govind Namdeo) arrives and takes her away from the station.
Through a flashback, we are shown Mahi's relationship with well-known leading actor, Aryan (Arjun Rampal). Aryan is going through divorce proceedings with his wife, while dating Mahi. Mahi is completely in love with Aryan, and during one of their intimate moments, takes a video of them. Aryan's loyalty and priorities are split between his wife and son, his career, and Mahi. When Mahi comes to know about an intimate scene Aryan is shooting for a movie, she barges on to the set and creates a scene, which upsets Aryan. Later Mahi is mocked by Aryan's wife at a party, and they exchange heated words. While driving back from the party with Aryan, Mahi raises the topic of his wife, which results in her being thrown out of the car.
