Critic Reviews for Phantom

A story that is a cross between D-Day and Zero Dark Thirty

Udita Jhunjhunwala, Business of Cinema

Composer Pritam and lyricists Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kausir Munir deliver a mix of Afghani folk, Sufi theme and a Bollywood melody soundtracks and the outcome is pretty good

Aelina Kapoor, Rediff

This thriller is over-simplified, though the gloss adds to the large-screen appeal

Meena Iyer, The Times of India

Not only is the telling of ‘Phantom’ tepid, the story itself seems to have been cobbled together from Bourne and several other worthies on the same much-trodden beat

considering just how much of a bore 'Phantom' is, for once the Pakistani courts may just have done our neighbours a favour.

'Phantom', is a one-time decent watch that could go either way at the box-office

The reel and the real 'Phantom', episodes have packed in an almost filmi irony bawling out the difference between the story that should have been and the story that is

'Phantom', is a film that knows where it is going, but has no clue how to get there

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV

'Phantom', displays that unique pulp mix of motion and emotion that is both compelling and revealing, but also deeply discomfiting to encounter

Mike McCahill, The Guardian

The audio of PHANTOM may be brief with just about three original songs along with four versions of 'Afghan Jalebi', but all the tracks are simply class and have excellent repeat value

The jingoistic dialogue and the film’s questionable message aside, this is boring, inert stuff

'Phantom', has nothing extraordinary and satisfying about its revenge tale of 26/11

Surabhi Redkar, Koimoi

It is neither in the gritty space of Baby nor does it try to be a spy entertainer like Ek Tha Tiger, 'Phantom', moves somewhere in between and takes a long time to find its mojo

Anuj Kumar, The Hindu

Pritam is on a roll, though the album has no songs that caters to the front-benchers, it definitely has an Afghani Jalebi to rock the discotheques

Sreeju Sudhakaran, Bollywood Life

The action and thrills stay right through to the end

'Phantom', is slightly lacking in cinematic intelligence and guile, but it does enough to entertain you and keep you hooked

Rachit Gupta, Filmfare

'Phantom', offers action and revenge but not of the mindless variety

Sweta Vinod, BookMyShow

0

'Phantom', lacks the finesse of Baby, and it's just over-the-top fluff which fails to connect to the 26/11 plot

Martin D Souza, Glam Sham

Despite having some mild flaws, it showcases the concern which probably many of us are facing these days
