'Filmistaan' has been made with noble intentions, but for some reason, despite all the honesty put in, it comes across as a mostly bland attempt. It begins well & offers a few chuckles, but a misguided second-hour spoils the fun.
'Filmistaan' Synopsis: A Bollywood buff and wanna-be-actor, gets accidentally kidnapped by a Pakistani terrorist group. Chaos Follows...
'Filmistaan' ideally could have been a laugh-riot while tackling some serious issues. But it doesn't quite do that. While the first-hour moves on a good-pace and it keeps you on the edge, The second-hour is a downer. Also, the open-end leaves you dissatisfied. There's no clarity in the end & that acts as a minus point.
The Screenplay is strictly okay. Nitin Kakkar's Direction is simplistic. Cinematography is standard. Editing is just about passable.
Performance-Wise: Sharib Hashmi is impressive. He enacts the film buff with admirable ease. Inaamulhaq is a delight. He's wonderful. Kumud Mishra hams.
On the whole, 'Filmistaan' is an uneven attempt.
