The case of horror comedies continues but its so refreshing to see a cleverly written project finally materialize Phone Bhoot starring Katrina Kaif , Ishaan Khatter and Sidhant Chaturvedi focuses on the trio that become desi ghost busters, only to realize that the evil Aatmaram played by Jackie Shroff has something sinister up his sleeve!

How did the movie fare?

The film isn't an earth-shattering, game-changing deal for the genre but it has the feel of a full-on mad hatters' party where everything goes. Its comedy will lift your spirits proving how you could be stupid and funny at the same time.

Continuing the ‘good for nothing’ universe of characters, we’ve Major (Siddhant Chaturvedi) & Galileo aka Gullu (Ishaan Khatter) who can seeeeee dead people. They crack a deal with the hot bhootni Ragini (Katrina Kaif) in order to earn a boatload of money in return for a favour which she’ll tell them at the ‘correct time’.

The Desi Ghostbusters trio continue to free some ghosts by helping them achieve their last wish. But, here’s where the story lands itself on a slippery slope introducing the ‘buri aatma’ Atmaram (Jackie Shroff), who manipulates & cheats the unsalvaged spirits. Forcing Ragini’s love angle amid all this mess makes this suffer from the ‘infamous second half syndrome’.
