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🙂

What a horrible movie. Cheap dialogues. Cheap comedy. Katrina Kaif is just a waste of space. Dont know why ppl keep glorifying her.

Such movies dont deserve a single star. The 2 child actors also have wasted their talent. All in a total waste of time and a bad movie.

The comedy is not worth it. Jackie Shroff as usual is bad as it can be.

Sometimes I wonder if these movies are made just to launder illegitimate funds. Bad would be an understatement for this kovie. Report this movie if it comes out on OTT. When will bollywood filmmakers stop making fools out of audienxes.

There is not a single scary element. I had to walk out of the theatre post interval.

Genuine attempt at making a horror parody, something not seen usually seen in india but man was the writing bad.

It was so surface level that even if the film was in 3D it would be flat as paper. There are barely any redeeming qualities, anything is happening at any point. The plot is random and the screenplay amateurish. Except for some pop cultural references here and there nothing much worked.

I am surprised this film even got green-lit. Sid and Ishaan could have been such a banger duo but god were they reduces to puppets. The chemistry between all three leads was lacklustre.

What a missed opportunity!

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.

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_
