Plot: Filmistaan is a movie that reflects on our deep love for Hindi films through the story of a kidnapping gone entirely wrong. Sunny is working for a foreign film crew close to the border when he is taken as a hostage by Pakistani two terrorists ( Kumud Mishra Kumud Mishra is a well-known name in the arena of >> Read More... and Gopal Dutt Gopal Dutt is an Indian Actor. He is from Nainital >> Read More... ). Soon the terrorists realize that they have definitely picked the wrong hostage, he is weird and bizarre and too filmy! In captivity, Sunny becomes friend with Aftab (Inaamulhaq), a Pakistani who is a Bollywood-crazed guy too and he pirates Hindi movies for his living. They become great friends while bonding over their equal love for movies! Does Sunny get rescued from his kidnappers? What turn does his story take?

Analysis: All hardcore Bollywood movie fans are in for a treat with this bizarre and funny tale of a guy, who is apparently not “kidnapping material”. Normally, while watching Hindi movies, you need to set aside logic to enjoy the movie thoroughly, and this is one of those times. A couple of scenes are awesome and well thought about, like the scene where Sunny being the movie buff he is, films his own hostage video multiple times to get the perfect shot. The comic timing of the actor is amazing, and will leave you in splits.

Director Nitin Kakkar, averts the normal border brotherhood cheesiness, quite astonishingly. The screenplay is, so smart, without making the whole thing an emotional ordeal, scenes are taken where the love for Bollywood music, movies is shown as a factor which removes the distance between the two countries and gets us closer!

Star Performance: Sharib Hashmi Sharib Hashmi is a very popular Hindi film actor w >> Read More... plays the role of a Bollywood-crazed, hostage perfectly. The scenes are greatly constructed around him being able to pull off bizarre things in a dangerous situation, which will leave you in splits. Kumud Mishra delivers a dynamic performance as the terrorist. Gopal Datt Gopal Datt is an Indian actor; he works in Hindi F >> Read More... is another actor who has loads of talent. He's absolutely perfect as Kumuds subordinate. Manoj Bakshi, as the Indian cop, is efficient enough.

What's There?: +A funny plot that will draw you in because of its uniqueness. +Cheeky dialogues that will make you laugh out loud.

What Is Not There?: + Filmistaan, depends too much on the hero. The ending keeps getting dragged, the fate of sunny hanging, the movie though being engaging cannot be described as a kidnapping thriller.

Verdict: This film subtly shows the bonds between the two countries without making it emotional or tedious. This film can be especially enjoyed by someone who has immense love for Bollywood movies!
