Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

In the contemporary bollywood, there are three ways to make a movie hit: sex,cast or making a masala flick. This movie has last two alluded elements. It is funny and emotional. As is being said that it is a tribute to two of bollywood's blockbusters DON and MUNNA BHAI M.B.B.S, you'll find half of the half part and half of the last part of the movie as intermingling of said movies. You'll also find that as in funny movies of Rajkumar Santoshi the element of comic fighting is prevalent through out the movie. Story: As I told that this story is intermixing of two movies. Despite of copying,film has got some genuine ideas and stuff. 5/10 I will award to the story.

Acting: Shahid kapoor has once again proved that no doubt he's a verstile actor and can justify every role given to him. Funny expressions can make you laugh even you may fall from your seats and said expressions can make you cry. I'll give 8/10 to the acting.

Was pleasantly surprised as to how enjoyable the movie really was!! Total paisa vasool, fun and wholesome Bollywood flick after a long time. It is not sleazy like Grand Masti or mindless like Chenni Express!!

Raj Kumar Santoshi has given us another timeless classic comedy after my favorite 'Andaz Apna Apna!!

Leads are good - I mean Shahid annoys and Ilena looks pretty!

Songs are fun, especially the Atif Aslam track and the 'aghal bhaghal' number.

Dialogues and scenes LOL - without being cheap! Perfect night out movie without your thinking hats on!!

Not a good story and narration. An average screenplay. Rare to witness a poor movie from rajkumar santoshi. Only people can watch it for the stellar performance from Shahid Kapoor.

Partly funny, somewhat emotional, intermittent witty dialogues, a couple of peppy songs, and sporadically wonderful scenes. Therein lies the inherent problem of "Phata Poster Nikla Hero" - it might entertain you throughout, but it never comes together as a wholly cohesive unit. Though it is better than most other mediocre Bollywood films this year, it never comes close to scaling the heights of Mr. Santoshi's erstwhile laugh riots - "Andaz Apna Apna" and "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani".

Lastly a word must be put in about Shahid Kapoor's, who surely surprises many with his performance. He's in full flow and in complete control of his act, displaying his entire range from comedy, to emotions, to conventional Bollywood hero. After ages, he successfully carries an entire film on his shoulders, albeit with some help from Padmini Kolhapure (great to see her talent on display after so long), Darshan Zariwala, Sanjay Mishra, Saurabh Shukla, and Zakir Hussain. Ileana D'cruz is a total let-down.

The movie is below average.There is no story in the movie.the first of the movie is worst and can't be watched but the second is better than the previous half.The comedy in the second half is good but still not good enough to make the movie interesting .The acting of shahid kapoor and ilena is not up to the mark and the songs in the movie are good.The songs sung by Atif aslam are good and the very well shot.The genre is comedy but the comedy won't make you laugh. The pros of the movie are only comedy scenes in the second half and the rest are cons of the movie.The story did not have enough content and better to avoid the movie rather than watching the movie at least once.
