RKS Once Upon a Time made career defining films, like Ghayal, Damini, Khakee which are still liked, he was one of the first filmmakers who made a different comedy Andaz Apna Apna which didn't work much but got cult status but today his films are mere a shadow of his earlier films.
Phata Poster Nikla Hero has a story that would appeal a decade back but hardly looks that exciting, even the backstory is such a yawn There are some funny comic scenes but many times comedy seems so seen there done that. The second half gets melodramatic but the climax is similar to Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani and hardly funny
Direction by RKS is ordinary Music is good, Dhating Naach is a superb choreographed track, Rang Sharbaton Ka is superb too while Agal Bagal is superb and fun
Action scenes look similar to films like Dabaang and are getting tiring, even Dialogues are good at times but mostly have an hangover of Dabaaang.etc
Shahid Kapur tries very hard, he is never known for his funny bone but here he does well,Ileana looks good but fails in comedy AMongst rest Saurabh Shukla, Sanjay Mishra, Viju Khote are all superb Darshan Jhariwala, Mukesh Tiwari are good too Padmini Kolhapure makes a superb comeback, Zakir Hussain is funny too
