Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a film that cannot be missed. Watch it for its storyline. Watch it for its execution. Watch it for its many excellent performances.
-
...is packed with great background scores, unfaltering narration and stellar performances.
-
...walks the tightrope between offbeat and commercial with gusto. This is a massively entertaining film.
-
In a nation of star-worshippers, this film devoid of superstars brilliantly stands out.
-
It's for anyone who has let cinema take over their mind, body and soul. But mostly it's for anyone who just wants to feel a high in the theatre.
-
This quirky charmer from first-time director Nitin is fresh in vision and enchanting in execution.
-
...a movie recommended for one and all!
-
Such cinematic gems, both entertaining and poignant, come by rarely!
-
...a delightful film. It has heart, imagination and intelligence.
-
Kakkar deserves a round of applause for staying true to the story and thus establishing the fact that a sincere story, told with simplicity, can entertain you as much if not more, in spite of the absence of the mandatory romantic songs or worse still, an item number.
-
Fresh and funny, this is a small film with a big heart.
-
As a film recognising the influence of cinema, Filmistaan is engaging, but not as a kidnapping thriller.
-
It is a lean screenplay, translated on screen with competent acting...
-
The first half of Filmistaan makes you want to recommend it to everyone around. The second half, though not boring, becomes cliché-ridden.
-
For its sheer inventiveness and for some terrific comic moments, this film is worth a watch.
-
It’s seldom that we make introspective films laced with dark humour. It’s great to find such superlative effort from first time filmmaker.
-
...is about making cinema, discussing cinema, viewing cinema.
-
...tickles and touches in a way that few Indian films manage to.
-
It is still worth a watch, at least for a genuinely unique protagonist that almost overshadows a botched-up final act.
-
There are a few enjoyable moments in ‘Filmistaan’, but the potential is never fully realized.
