Featured review
Phone bhoot
Phone bhoot is a comedy horror film directed by gurmmeet singh.
Ishan khattar and siddhant chaturvedi did a fine job with their over the top performances. Sometimes unnecessary, but just does fine. Katrina kaif, surprisingly, brings a seriousness into the film. Her hindi too, way better than the previous films. Jackie shroff has played much better and evil characters than this, so he was decent. The other characters were a hit and a miss.
The characters, at first, seem to be quite interesting but as the film goes on, they feel lethargic and dull. Their jokes don't land properly, the writing is bad in some places, which just makes the sequences all over the place. This doesn't mean that the jokes are awful. The meme references here are excellent. Mirzapur's theme music, the coffin dance, bohot hard everything is paid a tribute here. The bengali trope of pronunciation of moksh is hilarious. Various films get a mention here, ghostbusters is an obvious one but ramsay brothers' films and their character raaks play an important role. This film is a pandora box of reference notes, check those out for sure, its entertaining. The montage scenes being told out loud was funny.
The cinematography is brilliant. The various camera angles used bring a sense of trippyness in the film. Its nonsensical and wacky, and it has been handled pretty well. The colour grading in some sequences is damn good.
Its negative is its only a comedy film and not a horror one. There is not one scene where you feel the fear.
The vfx and special effects is very good in some scenes and also tacky in other scenes.
Its a decent fim in my opinion, not as bad as some bollywood haters tell you. So can watch it once! I rate it 7.
