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.

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.

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🙂

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.
