There comes a moment in Phata Poster Nikla Hero when you wonder if you travelled back in time and booked a seat for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani instead. The parallels can be drawn in each scene towards the end.
PPNH tries to belong to the comedy genre but fails miserably in its attempts. Even the action scenes are so outdated that you wonder what it tries to achieve till you realize it achieves nothing. Salman Khan is a pleasure to watch on-screen amidst all the chaos but he lasts only two minutes.
Shahid Kapoor can do little given how much his character in the movie is explored and the confusing plotline. He is the best thing about the movie and impresses in whatever he does. Ileana D’Cruz looks wonderful but is never funny. She did a brilliant job in her last movie, Barfi! and here too she does the emotional scenes to perfection.
Even the romance between the two lead characters is so half-baked that you feel cheated once the movie is over. Things only get worse with time. It is a downward slope from the first half and uses the same formula as APKGK to entertain the audience. Unfortunately old wine in a new bottle does not always work.
