Phantom






Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Denzil Smith(Haider) and Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal(Mother)
Director: Kabir Khan
Genre: Crime, Action, Thriller




A quality action thriller, Bollywood fans must not miss!




You may look forward to:
  • Saif Ali Khan is a pleasant surprise in this one. I will really consider this as his come back movie after a long hiatus. The expectations from this film was lose mostly because of his recent hit records. However, he proves the audience again that he is a promising actor and can deliver on good scripts :)
  • Katrina Kaif i guess by now can be labelled as an action heroine, first of its titular kinds in Bollywood :) She has indeed come a long way to have established herself from amongst the already occupied thrones by stable heroines. She has earned this place, its lovely to see her in some rugged looks minus any glamor but good content
  • Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is seen in a lot of movies these days, amazing how he is picking up in his career. Does a good variety of roles, he has a short one in this, nevertheless goes for an accountable one
  • Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Denzil Smith and Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal have very strong supporting roles. They do a pretty commendable job
  • This a no nonsense serious action-crime flick. Watch it for the underlying drive and seriousness of the plot, not for entertainment. A subject very carefully handled, as well presented in a compelling way by Kabir Khan




What you can sleep over:

This movie doesn't have a filmy ending where everything is rosy by the end. Its disappointing but close to reality





The dampeners you should be aware of:

Not very convinced with the last two assassinations plotted in Pakistan. The plans don't exactly look like cover up accidents, but clear cut murder plans. This glitch in story apart, rest of the movie doesn't have a single scene out of place.





My Rating: 3.5/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
