Phone Bhoot

Movies like Phone Bhoot are rare from Bollywood. With a multicultural region of India, focussing on a script like this is tough. I feel, Gurmmeet Singh handled it really good. The cast is amazing. Ishaan and Siddhant should be applauded for their comedy roles.

The plot is quite simple and the ending a little anti-climactic. But that doesn't take away from the fun ride that is this movie. It's a horror comedy cum buddy comedy. And these are rare. I have seen this movie being compared to multiple other movies especially, Ghostbusters. And of course that can be drawn. It's because this movie spoofs the others. The music was fun too. Love the songs. Especially, Nidhi, Ishan, and Siddhant dancing to Kali Teri. With pop culture references being made really good, I enjoyed this movie throughout.

Of course this could have been better. The movie does lose the plot a bit towards the end. The end was quite anti-climactic. And the sequel pull could have been set a lil better. Some jokes didn't land the right way.

Having said that, I watched this movie thrice. Once at the theatres and twice after renting it on Prime Video. And I enjoyed it every time. Please ignore the low ratings and baseless negative review and enjoy the movie, currently available on Prime Video for rent. Or wait till it's available in the catalogue. Relax and enjoy this fun ride of Phone Bhoot.

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.

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.

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.

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!
