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.

A cheap ripoff of Ghostbusters that is only able to provide entertainment in scenes that are very few and far between. Because I had a much higher ceiling of expectations for the film, I would like to exclusively attribute the fault to those who orchestrated the marketing strategies in advance of its release. A trap was set for me, and I walked straight into it.
It's not at all the laughter ride I was expecting. Yes, it made me chuckle quite a bit, but that's it. It was not the uproarious, outrageous parody I was hoping it would come to be. Albeit thanks to its star-studded ensemble which kept me fairly occupied. It is certainly an ambitious effort, and I am inclined to agree that it is quite a stout attempt, but I must concede that it was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

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_

I don't know what's the fuss all about. Its an okay movie and it was supposed to be okay only! I do wish there was a little bit seriousness in the middle but i loved the funny part! Recent jokes, mem references, call backs and cliché stereotypes!! Everything is what was expected!
The premise could be handled better obviously! But ITS OKAY GUYS! Nepo-Nepo isn't needed here. Its just an absurd movie with poor jokes! But poor jokes is what I expected. The bromance and chemistry is fun and Katrina is the real old one(Not a good thing though :D) Jackie shroff did some beedu beedu and there's a universe they're trying to setup.

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!
