Phata Poster Nikla Hero movie review: Watch it just for Shahid Kapoor

I'll go with two stars for Phata Poster Nikla Hero which kicks off well but disappoints a big time in the end. If you still want to watch it, keep Shahid Kapoor in your mind




You are tempted in the first half which despite of numerous illogical situations delivers few lighthearted moments. We once again have to give credit to Shahid Kapoor who brings smiles on your faces through his cute and funny dialects. Take that one when he runs after Salman Khan's car or that when he gives an audition to a director who is busy getting the lead actress out of the swimming pool.

The melodrama too garners a space in the first one hour fifteen minutes. We swallow the dim-witted jokes till here.  But the rest of the flick tests your patience. From here Santoshi loses his grip. Wish it had been at worse, the same tired momentum of the first half carried with patience futher this drama would have been a perfect masala entertainer.

The flick drags and loses it way in the mid bizarrely. Nor Shahid's kiddish acts neither Saurabh Shukla's mockery is able to kill the boredom which heavily conquers your mind. We would have ignored Ileana's profession of social work which only possesses filing police complaints. We could have also discounted Santoshi for giving ‘Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani' type confound climax. But what can't we ignore is the zig zag layer of emotions which doesn't get a single moment to sense anything except for the mother-son bonding between Padmini Kolhapure and Shahid Kapoor.
