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 who will solely entertain you.
Film: Phata Poster Nikla Hero
Stars: Shahid Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Saurabh Shukla, Padmini Kolhapure
Director: Rajkumar Santoshi
Ratings:**
Peeking back in the year, slapstick flicks like Fukrey, Chennai Express and Grand Masti varied in their modes of fun. However among them Grand Masti went a bit overboard in its attempt to deliver adult comedy but it commercially thrived due to majority of its mass audience.
Here we aren't comparing Phata Poster Nikla Hero with them. But the question arises does it satisfy its masses for whom this entertainer is made. Rajkumar Santoshi has been one of the zealous filmmakers and has given numerous genres of flicks. His epic comedy Andaz Apna Apna is loved by the movie buffers even today. Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani did tickle the funny bone.
And now he presents us ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero', which is surely one of those masala entertainers with comedy having an upper hand but doesn't have that stem to reap throughout.
