Filmistaan Movie Reviews
Ratings:3/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN
'Filmistaan' works best as a movie about the magic of movies. It's a celebration of India's song-and-dance film culture and heightened emotions... one that unites fans in their shared love for this unique art-form. For its sheer inventiveness and for some terrific comic moments, this film is worth a watch. I'm going with three out of five.Visit Site for more
Ratings:4/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
FILMISTAAN is one of those rare Hindi films that juxtaposes drama, humor and emotions seamlessly [screenplay: Nitin Kakkar]. An absorbing plotline is spread out splendidly into a 2-hour film and believe me, there's never a dull moment in the entire narrative. Although the film does highlight cross-border terrorism, it also sheds light on the love that people from both sides have for Bollywood. On the whole, FILMISTAAN walks the tightrope between offbeat and commercial with gusto. This is a massively entertaining film. A film that shouldn't be missed at all. Watch it.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Anupama Chopra Site:Star World ( Hindustan Times)
Filmistaan is a delightful film. It has heart, imagination and intelligence. Filmistaan is a celebration of our enduring love affair with Hindi cinema. But it is also an exploration of the shared humanity between Indians and Pakistanis. Debutant director Nitin Kakkar, who has also written the film, has created a comedy that is permeated by a profound sadness. So don’t be put off by the name or the lack of stars. This is a lovely little film that will sneak into your heart. I’m going with four stars.Visit Site for more

On the whole, Filmistaan may win accolades from the critics and a thin section of the audience in the big cities but that’s about all. Save for a few multiplexes in the major cities, it can’t hope to score at all. Even if collections pick up, that will happen in a handful of cities only.Visit Site for more
Ratings:5/5 Review By: Paloma Sharma Site: Rediff
Filmistaan chooses to speak about the sensitive issue of Pakistan and does so with amazing clarity. Employing crisp humour, often using famous dialogues from Hindi films, the film stresses on the shared culture (including the sanskaars given by Cine Maa) to remind us how easy it is to get along with our neighbours when we look at them as human beings.Filmistaan is packed with great background scores, unfaltering narration and stellar performances. It's also one of the best films I've watched since Queen and D-Day; it's absolutely flawless.Visit Site for more
