Like his earlier comedies, which include the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, Santoshi aims to create a zany and wacky tone. In places, this film is inspired. But often, it's just tired. But comedy like this needs to be relentlessly inventive and high-energy. He bungs in emotions that the film hasn't earned. Post-interval, the vigor deflates considerably. But none of it can make up for the lack of laughs. Phata Poster Nikhla Hero is intermittently entertaining. If you are undemanding or a Shahid Kapoor fan, you might enjoy it. But don't expect much from it. It doesn't delivers anything new! Its all familiar which we have seen in other comedies that we are used to now! I was going for 6 out of 10 but added 1 extra star for the songs!
