First half of the film is ok but second half is terrible Santoshi, who wrote the film, forgot that he was writing a comedy when he got to the second half.The most fun moment in Phata Poster Nikla Hero is
the one in which Salman Khan makes a
appearance. It lasts for just about two minute, which means for hours, you just sit there wondering what on earth you're watching. film's climax is full of confusion because you think you've bought a ticket to see the Shahid Kapoor-Ileana D'Cruz starrer Phata Poster nikla hero what's playing on screen seems to be from Ajab
Prem ki gajab kahani.It is neither action nor comedy movie. Phata Poster is about an aspiring actor, Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) who wants to be a famous
hero one day. However, his mother (a Padmini Kolhapure) is an honest, auto-rickshaw driver who wants her son to be a good cop. This mother-son relationship is actually the anchor of the film and at several points strains of 'Tujhe sab hai
pata, meri maa' (from Taare Zaamein Par) float in the background. Thanks to a serendipitous turn of events, the
Mumbai police as well as goons start believing that Vishwas is in fact a police inspector. Next thing you know, this fake cop and his mum are caught in
the crossfire between the police and the Gundappa gang (baddies, obviously). Shahid Kapoor owns whatever there is to own in this film. His face is like all the emoticons that you have ever seen, rolled into one. This could have been a bad thing, but when Kapoor pulls all these expressions, he manages to make it work. He is delightful in dance numbers like Khali Piliand Dhating Naach. However, there is only so much
that he can with a half-baked character and a messy plot. We can conclude that Vishwas Rao isn't Chulbul
Pandey (Dabangg) or Bajirao Singham (Singham). Neither is he anything like Akshay Kumar's Bahattar Singh (Khiladi 786).
