Featured reviews
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.

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_

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.

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.
