He bashes up multiple goons at one time, he sheds copious tears, he prances around the pole, he romances, and does everything that an actor hopes to do on screen. It seems like this film is making up for all the opportunities that Shahid Kapoor missed and deserved in the last decade that he’s been around. Phata Poster Nikla Hero is a Shahid Kapoor show all the way, with him dominating every scene. Actually given the actor’s tremendous screen presence and that cute face, one doesn’t really mind an overdose. But what one minds is the equally talented director Rajkumar Santoshi doing a Rip Van Winkle and being firmly stuck in a time warp. The movie, which could have been made in the ’80s talks about Vishwas Rao, who dreams of becoming a hero. But his mother (Padmini Kolhapure makes a comeback with this one) has other plans for him. She wants him to be an honest Police Inspector, in short a real-life hero.
