Phantom Reviews

Yet while it remains a work of immature, even irresponsible wish-fulfillment, that in itself does not keep it from being a passable actioner. Yes, its Saif Ali Khan essentially playing Sunny Deol.

Phantom review: Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif is very slow. Phantom review: Kabir Khan thriller film, Phantom, has no crackle, only fizz.

The better actors in the cast – Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Rajesh Tailang and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub – are no more than mere passengers on this jerky ride.Phantom is a film that knows where it is going, but has no clue how to get…

I wish the film engaged me a bit more. 26/11 attacks enraged the entire nation. It made us feel vulnerable. A film that deals with it should stir my patriotic sentiments. I should be able to empathise.

The jingoistic dialogue and the film's questionable message aside, this is boring, inert stuff. The director's last film 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' feels like Citizen Kane in comparison.

Parts of the film are tight and paced well. Some of the suspense is delivered properly; others, lost in transmission.

Kabir Khan’s ‘thriller’ starring Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif is super boring. The stunts aren’t bad in Phantom, but they’re not memorable. Still, the sounds of explosions and bullets will at least keep you awake.

The film, based on Hussain Zaidi's book Mumbai Avengers, moves you only towards the end, especially when you realize that 166 people died in the 26/11 terrorist attack, and that none of the terrorist masterminds have been…

The creative zest to tell a rock-solid story in a language that is both virile and sensitive comes from director Kabir Khan himself who films S Hussain Zaidi's fantasy novel with a reliable quotient of compelling scenes and…

Do not miss this film. It will win you over, thanks to Kabir Khan's vision and implementation of the same. I stand convinced that this truly is a story I wish were true.

A big problem with Phantom is that its never fast-paced and slick like the Bond or Bourne film that it so badly wants to be.

The film dares to throw some unsettling questions, one of them being, are Pakistani locals supportive of the militant outfits in their country? It even shows the ISI as hand in glove with the LeT.

Even if you let go of sanity of the bigger picture, the little things are a bother too. Facts are repeated to help you make the connect.

The spark and drama of Bajrangi is not there and the fairly terse action drama of Ek Tha Tiger is missing. What we end up with is a screenplay which has as much fizz as a cola that has been left open for a week.

Watch Phantom just for the character actors if you have to. All of them -- Sohaila Kapur, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Sabyasachi Chakraborty -- deliver power-packed performances, as if to compensate for the lead pair's lack of…

The unexpected twists and turns in the plot with no dull moments makes Phantom movie a gripping watch.

...the one thing about this film which is worth mentioning is that it is indeed a story which you wish were true.

Phantom could have been a terrific film but somehow it never really involves the audience completely into its narrative.

Pinkvilla Buzz is built for the way India watches entertainment today: fast, social, vertical, and impossible to stop scrolling.

Bolstered with the razor sharp editing skills that put a seasoned surgeon to shame, excellent cinematography and commendable screenplay, Kabir Khan delivers a cinematic treat that entertain as well as thrill you.

Saif Ali Khan’s new film is a fast paced and interesting thriller

Not a must watch! The film does not live up to its hype. This is like watching a different version of Baby just that the agenda is different now.

In the month of Independence Day, Phantom is the perfect film to fuel up the patriotic spirit. Go for it.

As cinema, this thriller is over-simplified, though the gloss adds to the large-screen appeal. Saif is adept; Kat is pretty appealing (pun on the pretty because her make-up is intact even in the battlefield).

Watch Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Phantom, flaws aside, it talks of a real concern facing all of us, even while taking a flight of fantasy The climax is worth the ticket money
