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.
