Phata Poster Nikhla Hero – Nerve-Teasing Stale Comedy

After a long span of time do we witness a bit cinematic glorification of mother and this particular clip/scene of the movie, PHATA POSTER NIKLA HERO, has been the centre of attraction (for me). Considering my self-affinity and regard for my mom, I have understandably gone through a pleasing experience of watching those scenes where mother is praised, mollified and shown obedience for her command. Otherwise, the entire story of the movie is just below the average – the same lousy story, brainless comedy, fed-up actions and whatever you call it, the film is not impressive.

The Plot – 

The storyline of the movie revolves around Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) who dreams to be a super hero against his rickshaw driver mother (Padmini Kolhapure) whom she wants to be a super cop instead. Her mother envisages Vishwas Rao to be a complete resemblance of honest, candid, truthful and duty-bound police officer until her figment of imagination almost bears fruit when the son lands in Mumbai, becomes a movie-cop and dramatically handles cop-jobs like beating up the goons, protecting the long-suppressed citizens from bad boys, and he GETS THE GIRL!!

As expected, the climax turns out to be a ridiculous twist whereby Shahid meets his “presumed dead” father as a villain, gets him handcuffed, and finally gets himself rewarded a  cop badge for his daredevilry in helping cops to bust criminal gangs.

IS THE MOVIE WATCHABLE?

If you are a hardcore fan of Shahid and have been waiting for his new release after a long time, then go and watch the movie to quench your thirst. Otherwise I do not want to mince my words in saying that the movie is another shit placed on a silver plate {except the part glorifying mother (I just love it)}.

PERFORMANCE OF THE CASTS

Not much impressive as everyone acted the way they were supposed to be. The cameo appearance of Salman Khan does lend certain ounce of engaging watch. The same case (perhaps) with Nargis Fakhri in an item song (not sure I am as I’d skipped the song).

WHAT DOES MOVIE FOCUS ON?

To me, the movie focuses on being a total comedy family entertainment as well as a bit adoration of mother. It is because the lousy storyline that the movie fails to impress. Moreover, a close watch will give you an impression that most plots of the movie resemble with those prevalent in the movies of 1970’s. To some extent, it resembles with Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani.

At last, my negative review about PHATA POSTER NIKLA HERO has nothing to do with contradicting your own set of beliefs. You should watch the movie by yourself and have your say accordingly. I have reviewed the movie according to my own findings.
