Cult Bollywood films like Maine Pyar Kiya, Ghayal , Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge etc have embedded a lasting impression on cinema lovers and have inspired many film-makers. Filmistaan is dedicated to all the films whom we grew up watching, cherished and loved.

A crazy-cinema lover and wanna-be actor is struggling to get a justified role that will make him a star. A slice chance to work in a documentary with American filmmakers at the India-Pakistan border lands him in the vicinity of terrorist which changes his life forever.

As a first time director, Nitin Kakkar does a fabulous job in creating a fictional character of movie freak who would do anything to protect the art of cinema. One classic shot - when he gets slapped by the terrorist leader while protecting his camera from being destroyed. The movie begins with a bang with famous mimicry delivered by Sharib Hashmi who entertains in every frame. The film does lose the steam towards the climax and probably could have given you a better ending. However, overall impact will suffice your thirst for entertainment. Screenplay is witty. Background score and music is applauding. Cinematography, editing and art direction is note-worthy. Sharib Hashmi has already established himself as actor whose talent will be embraced and enjoyable. Other actors play their part well.

Overall, Filmistan is dedicated to all the cinema lovers and should be enjoyed. Nice attempt. Good 3/5
