Subhash Kapoor's 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' is a golden opportunity, gone wrong due to monotonous writing. Subhash Kapoor excels as a director, but as a writer, he disappoints.

When any filmmaker attempts to make a film on a satire, he/she must raise the questions efficiently, and more efficiently should be ready with the answers. But, Over-here, almost everything comes across as half-baked. 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' is an outstanding idea, which begins with a bang, but becomes a bore after a point. The Screenplay repeats itself, and there is no novelty after a point.

Subhash Kapoor should've worked on the writing. If the writing was sharper, this film had all that it takes to become a gem, but what finally comes out, disappoints. Cinematography is alright. Performance-Wise: Manu Rishi is effective. Rajat Kapoor is stiff, while Neha Dhupia scores in a supporting role. Sanjay Mishra is good. Amole Gupte gets limited scope.

On the whole, it's an opportunity missed! One expected much more!
