On this one-liner of a plot, Rajkumar Santoshi has built a two-and-a-half-hour film which is meant to make us laugh, but ends up making us groan instead.

Rated: 1.5/5

It’s funny and goofy, sweet even when it's being silly, a good ol’ clean comedy from Bollywood after a long time.

Rated: 3/5

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero could have been funnier, but director Santoshi drags it too long and loses the viewer mid-way.

Phata Poster Nikla Hero feels like a missed opportunity at what could've been an amazing movie, but fails to be so, because of poor writing.

Shahid Kapoor! (another movie I discovered onboard a flight- and just obtained it and finished watching yesterday). What the title means is 'breaking out from a poster to become a real-life hero'.. and that is what Vishwas accomplishes by the end of the movie.. shuffling between becoming an actor (his dream), an unwitting hero (daily encounters), and eventually a real-life policeman (his mother's dream). The fight sequences were quite well chereographed, including some slo-mo ones. The mother looked rather young, and the chick was quite likeable. The comedy.. enough for grins :) Gimme more SK!
