Filmistaan

After I had seen the trailer, I knew I had to watch this one. I went expecting funny sequences, off-beat story and good acting. Well, I did get just that but so much more.

The film gives a strong and poignant message that deep down inside, all human beings are the same. They have the same fears, aspirations, fun loving characters. It shows how childhood conditioning can influence our thoughts and form preferences about good, bad, right and wrong. And how real life experiences can break those beliefs.

As far as the script goes, it is very basic and straight-forward. Absence of big stars and their trademark acting styles is such a big relief.

About funny sequences, there is one in particular (which I cannot describe in detail) is when the hero gets a chance to act in front of the camera. I am a person who laughs with abandon. I think the people near my seats did not like it very much becoz I was laughing my head off.

I recommend you to watch this movie as I enjoyed it very much. I wish I could forget the whole movie just so that I can watch it again :)

A film made with true love for Bollywood , about a character and how his life goes through different situation expressing that love to his audience who could be a small group of children playing in the field. I saw this movie with subtitles, I should say this movie is treat for the people who know Hindi and has a good background about the Bollywood. Not sure about those who will watch solely depending on subtitles. Since many of the comic sequence in this movie needs a little bit of background.

It's about a movie buff who lives in his dream world that someday he's going to be a superstar of Bollywood. He faces many difficult situations in his journey but never ever gives up on his dream. There are many heart touching moments in this film which doesn't makes you cry but increases your affection for the character.

A simple film made with honest heart embracing the Bollywood in its own way. This film gives you a definite relief from the current commercial movies being played in the theater.

Go for this movie with all your movie buffs..

With the amount of crap bollywood is generating these days this movie come as a much needed break....

As a frequent movie watcher i watch the maximum movie releases in India but there very few movies that i actually like.... This is the 2nd movie after Queen that i liked very much...

The story is very simple but the effect that it leaves is very deep....

Performances are the backbone of this movie....

Every person in the movie looks like they are not acting but actually living that character... i recommend this movie to every one who like or dislike bollywood flicks.. In one word this movie is celebration of Indian Cinema.....

full length comedy entertainer + a superb message

during its 1st screening at IFFK...There were only less audience... during its 2nd screening theater was jam packed..and after the show ...Nithin sir was fully surrounded by Filmisthaanis :) and during 3rd screening..there was no space for air to enter ...that too b4 1 hr of show time... that was the response here at IFFK ..from this u will know how good the film is..:)

i have seen this film @ IFFK film fest kerala,India.....its about human and their emotions,...passions...faith.....director tried to keep the balance while telling the subjects about India and Pakistan... the best scene in this film is at the end of the film..."Hero speaking with kid,,.." .. kid:." you are not a Hindustani... hero :.why..? ... kid :Hindustanis are not nice persons like you...!!! hero : dear ...who told you that..? kid: i heard it from everywhere... hero;its not true...we Indians are also thought like this.....etc...etc.. .... ..this film is right from the heart of the director...he used humor elements for entertaining the audience... and spread a good message their hearts...all other elements like politics,terrorism,Bollywood are secondary elements..
