- Determine the key strength and weakness of the protagonist. Weakness can be a flaw or fear.
- The protagonist should have a good motive (for his/her actions) too.
- Remember no one is interested in just reading/seeing someone become rich etc - if however you make the protagonist struggle through for someone's cause (like a loved one, or the ailing grandma or the friend who lost his limbs etc) then it makes it interesting.
I found these links good: Hero's qualities and Create likable heroes
Make heroes believable, likable (give good qualities), larger than life (must do great things that many never accomplish) and desirable (give some special charm).

I saw a Hindi movie "Wednesday". I would say that is the best Indian movie I have seen in years. The plot was simple, the actions are natural to senses. The realistic nature of the film made it extremely interesting to watch. I didn't want to move away and miss the movie even for a minute. As you rightly said hero is built up through a cause!
