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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
