Superstar is based on the reality of the entertainment field. Life's essentially about choices. Kunal Mehra (Kunal Khemu) defines the youth of today - he dares. Dares to dream of making it big in Bollywood one day. Kunal wears the tag of a Bollywood struggler lightly, as he knows it is only a matter of time before he makes it into the big league. Until, that is, life decides to play a prank on him. The entry of the rich, debonair, Karan (Khemu), in Bollywood as well as his life, crushes all of Kunal's dreams. And suddenly, the struggler is transformed into a superstar. Public adulation and unwavering media attention, he receives it all. What would Kunal choose at the moment of reckoning? Truth or Dare?
The film opened to mixed reviews, mostly negative. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama rated it 2/5, and said "On the whole, Superstar doesn't catch on."
It earned 6 crores on its opening weekend. After two weeks of running in theaters, it grossed 13 crores all together, and was elevated to a flop status by Box office India.
