==Plot==
Savitri Rao, a widow, hopes that her only son, Vishwas will grow up to be a brave Inspector. But Vishwas wants to become an actor. Dressed as a Police Inspector for a photo shoot, he meets social worker Kajal during a car chase. Kajal mistakes him as an inspector and thanks him for helping her catch the goons, while Vishwas plays along. He is mistakenly published in the newspaper as an Inspector, which Savitri sees. She arrives in Mumbai to see her dream come true, and circumstances lead Vishwas to carry on his lie not only to Kajal, but also to his mother.

While shooting for a film, Vishwas's mother discovers that he is not an inspector. She faints and is admitted in the hospital, where the doctor tells him that she needs to be operated and the amount required is {{INR}} 1 million. He agrees to work for Gundappa (the boss of the goons Vishwas and Kajal caught) for money where he needs to bring a CD for them. While escaping after getting the CD he is caught by police and accidentally shoots two police officers. Since he is now a murderer, he is left with no choice but to join Gundappa's gang. Meanwhile, Kajal, who is under the impression that Vishwas has gone bad, along with some men plans to save him from doing any crime. So they go to the gangs den and tell the foolish Gundappa that she came to marry Vishwas. Hence, creating a confusion so that Gundappa leaves Vishwas. On the other hand, Joint Commissioner (who was also kidnapped) tells Savitri that Vishwas is actually not doing any crime but is working for the police. Kajal learns this from Savitri later and goes to apologise to Vishwas for misunderstanding him. Not knowing that they are being watched on CCTV, she apologises to Vishwas and leaks details of his plans. Somehow, Vishwas and his mates are able to flee. But his mother and Kajal are held by Napoleon (the ultimate Don, boss of Gundappa). After fighting the goons, Vishwas hands over Napoleon (who is revealed to be his own father) to the police and tells everyone that he will become a police officer as they are real life heroes. He did all the filmy actions as a fake police officer and now wants to be a real policeman. His mother's dream is finally fulfilled.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/609720/phata-poster-nikla-hero-a-brainless-comedy/ |title=PPNH Tribune |publisher=tribune |access-date=26 September 2013}}</ref>

==Critical response==

===India===

[[Taran Adarsh]] gave the film 3.5/5 and wrote, "''Phata Poster Nikhla Hero'' brings back memories of old-fashioned comic entertainers. There's not much of a plot here, but you go with the flow without making much effort. You laugh, celebrate the silly gags and by the time the story reaches its conclusion, you realize that the film has won you over with its unfussy plot and basic characters, who don't have a serious bone in their body. On the whole, ''Phata Poster Nikhla Hero'' is an entertainer all the way. If you relished ''[[Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani]]'' from the team of Taurani and Santoshi, chances are you will also lap up this vibrant, kaleidoscopic, light-hearted entertainer."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/563932 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130721063926/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/563932 |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 July 2013 |title=Taran Adarsh Review |website=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |access-date=20 September 2013}}</ref>

Madureeta Mukherjee of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film 3.5 and felt, "The first half offers loads of cackles, chuckles, witticisms and spoofy scenes. Post-interval the comedy collapses for a bit with forced OTT drama, khaali-peeli action, and too many song breaks, but makes a comeback with delightfully funny moments. This one's worth it for the 'howlarity' of it all. And Shahid in his element. Note: You may not like this film if you don't have a taste for silly humour & mindless gags!"<ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Phata-Poster-Nikhla-Hero/movie-review/22807611.cmsl |title=TOI Review |publisher=Times of India |access-date=20 September 2013}}</ref>

Faheem Ruhani of ''[[India Today]]'' gave the film 3 and judged, "Santoshi as writer, director and the dialogue writer is in good form. He would have been terrific if could have captured your interest in the same way as he did in the first half of the film. Still, the film is worth more than a few laughs. More because of the way the director spoofs Bollywood's tried and tested conventions and the jokes he cracks at the expense of an industry he is only too familiar with."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/movie-review-phata-poster-nikhla-hero/1/310666.html |title=India today Review |publisher=India today |access-date=20 September 2013}}</ref>

Rummana Ahmed of [[Yahoo! Movies]] awarded the film 3 stars and summarised, "''Phata Poster Nikhla Hero'' will entertain if you are willing to overlook its little indulgences."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://in.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-reviews/yahoo-movie-review-phata-poster-nikla-hero-103918798.html |title=Yahoo Movies Review |publisher=Yahoo |access-date=20 September 2013}}</ref>
