If you are  truely filmy, you use Bollywood dialogues in your everyday life . We don't even think twice before using these lines,'Mere paas maa hai' , 'Dhai kilo ka haath' , 'dosti ki hai nibhani to padegi' , 'bade bade desho main aisi chhoti chhoti baaten hoti rehti hai or ' Rahul , naam to suna hoga.'

Filmistaan takes this love of Hindi films across the border.

Sunny wants to be an actor but when he fails to get any role he takes the job of an assistant director. He is kidnapped by terrorists who keep him hostage in a village in Pakistan , where he meets his soul mate, another film buff who makes his living , selling pirated CDs.

The film shows the life style of very poor people with just enough to survive, for whom watching Maine Pyar Kiya on a 21 inch TV is pure joy. 

Both the protagonists share great on screen chemistry and brotherhood . There is a dialogue where one guy tells another,' aam aadmi ke bas ki kaha hai siyasat ',which shows that poor people living near borders have always been pawns in the bigger game played by politicians and terrorists.

In a line , overall the film is entertaining and has some touching moments.

One time watch . Can be seen in theaters.
