Phone Bhoot

Film Review: Phone Bhooth #sanjuzzreviews #phonebhoot #IshaanKhatter #SidhantChaturvedi #katrinakaif #JackieShroff 2 losers Ishaan Khattar ( Gullu) & Sidhant Chaturvedi( Major) team up with a friendly Bhatakti Aatma ( Ragini) Katrina as the Desi Ghostbusters. However the Ragini has an agenda of her own. There is also an evil tantric ( Aatmaram) Jackie Shroff who is jealous of their success & trying to get rid of them with his army of ghosts. Will our bungling duo outwit the villains and be victorious in the end is what this film is all about.

Kudos to the makers for attempting something different. The camaraderie between the protagonists is decent, though they are a bit loud at times.

However there aren't many lol moments in the film which is a travesty when u r attempting a film in the horror-comedy genre. Jackie as tantric Aatmaram is funny with his "bhidu" type one-liners. Ending is quite predictable which again lets you down.

What I liked are the references to old horror films like the Ramsey's and some well executed slapstick comedy scenes which invoke spontaneous laughter. Unfortunately there aren't many of these!!

A good attempt by makers to try something new. Not as bad as Roohi, yet ...not as good as Stree!!

Will give it a 2.5/5 ... Adios🙂

The movie is nothing but total madness

Real gutsy guys are the story writer, director ,and producer who made such a movie...at this age of ott where content is the king and daily we see new content coming up how can one dare to make this madness..the excel Gang has made such good and unique contents like Fukrey inside edge etc

The only good thing to see in this madness are the two guys Siddhant and ishaan both played very well even their character and make up was very good along with the evil aesthetics which enhanced their character

Some scenes and dialogues were really funny but why the makers didn't made the entire movie funny rather than showing ugly characters of Jackie sheeba and others

I think today's kids will also not like this.

People who are reviewing this movie wanna connect to Ghostbusters because they think have actual knowledge of Hollywood that's funny,This movie was a fun for when I don't usually like Bollywood,They paid homage to Unime(Anime), Hollywood and also some of funny Bollywood movies,This wasn't a like a James bond movie,it's was just a fun entertainment like home alone kind I'm ashamed that entertainment like this doesn't work but crap like Simba works in north india.

I watch Spanish,Norway,German,Russian, Japnese and other languages movies but these guys watch mainstream movies and think they know everything. Hahaha My Insta: hatimquilon_

Ragini, a ghost comes to 2 horror fans who can see ghosts with a job idea. To be Ghostbusters. Everything is going fine until they realise the Ragini's intention behind this.

Phone Bhoot is a decent comedy film. Good acting by the 2 heroes and Katrina Kaif was also decent. Jackie shroff was just alright, nothing special Phone Bhoot succeeds in making you laugh especially in the first half. The second half starts good however it dips both with the story and the comedy. But you do laugh a lot.

It succeeds with being a comedy film. I wouldn't call this a horror film. Even though it is about ghosts, it isn't a horror comedy and it didn't have the intention to be. If you are expecting a movie like Golmaal Again and Stree, you'll be a little disappointed.

The climax isn't memorable, it's just decent

Overall, it is a decent movie which makes you laugh a lot. However due to the dip in the second half and the just decent ending, the movie is a one time watch.

The subject of ghost busters is good and different and even better when dealt as a horror comedy instead of serious or drama but subject is not delivered well and the characters instead of comic looked idiots. Even story is weak. The comic timings of Jackie Shroff and Katrina Kaif is not worth it. Actually I am thinking what's Jackie Shroff is doing in the film. When we have horror comedies like Bhoot Police and Stree dealing with subject so nicely in comparison this film looks totally useless. Have some moments but those are not enough to uplift the movie to make it more like-able. Waiting for some good movie from Katrina.
