Movie: PhantomRating : 4.5/5Let me tell you one thing about the Indian directors - these are the persons who know very well when, how, and in what way to use a good script. Director Kabir Khan is one of them. I don't mind it now how poorly he had sculpted EK THA TIGER, but instead, he impressed me and almost every viewer with his last film BAJRANGI BHIAJAAN, which talked about peace. This time, he comes with an even powerful PHANTOM, and after watching it, every Indian viewer would be delighted. How, let's analyze.It's an out and out Saif Ali Khan movie, who impresses big time. It was long time that I had seen him in such a role. Really, I can say that this is his best film ever. Katrina has a strong role, but looks and acts more like what was her character in EK THA TIGER. Zeeshan is once again terrific and gives a powerful performance. Rest of the cast does its part extremely well.Another thing is that the film is made on such an issue that strikes correct notes with almost every Indian viewer. Undoubtedly, the film is too brave and energetic in its presentation, but the main thing it focuses on is the sacrifice of our brave Indian soldiers. For instance, the climax really left me emotional and I kept thinking about the film even when it was over. The film's fast paced screenplay adds to the energy of the film. Believe me, there's not even a single moment of boredom. The film fills every, almost every, viewer, full of energy and patriotism. Another thing that it isn't a controversial film at all.The songs are placed not for long and at right times only, as such films Indian at heart require some songs to convey the emotion. PHANTOM has a pleasant music, especially the song AFGHAN JALEBI, which is quite impactful and leaves you humming it. The editing is excellent and the locations are shot very well. The action scenes are just amazing and wonderfully executed. The thrills in the storyline keep you to the edge of your seats. To be honest, PHANTOM also has such a patriotic flavour that no Indian would be able to actually resist watching this action packed film. And plus, the violence isn't always intense, and so the film isn't unsuitable for young viewers. The film is rated UA and is family friendly, with no vulgarity or obscenity in any scene or dialogue.Before watching this film, what came to my mind was Kabir Khan's poorly executed EK THA TIGER, which was also supposed to be a racy espionage action thriller, but turned out to be romantic thriller instead. Happily, this thing doesn't happen in the case of PHANTOM and its focus remains only on its story and its message.Overall, PHANTOM is a powerful and energetic patriotic action thriller that deserves a watch and the love of all Indians. Don't miss this one. Simply go for it.

Well never watched such an excellent cinema from more than a decade, everything was perfect, no flaw in the movie, Katrina kaif and saif ali khan definitely best actors of India, they both deserve national awards for their performances, its a perfect roller coaster ride, 1st half it was action packed thriller, and second half makes you all emotional and patriotic, climax superb, best vfx, best acting, best direction, and everything perfect, all awards to Phantom this year, and especially to Katrina kaif, she is best actress of India, unnecessarily criticized by some dumb haters, she outshine everyone else with her performance, be it an emotional scene, action sequence, romantic angle, or even a comic relief in 1 scene, she is par brilliance.

this movie is absolutely horrible. however the songs were pretty so i give this 2 stars.it promotes hatred and disunity. when Salman khan is doing unity with Pakistan, im so surprised that Saif Ali Khan went with an anti Pakistan movie. even more surprised that it was Kabir khan at the helm.this movie is not based on facts. the movie assumed that criminals in Pakistan are responsible for attacks, and that the Pakistani government is helping them. horrible message.we know how common it is in India that the politicians pay off people to stage an attack on themselves, or a group, or a sect, all so the politicians can push a cause. either drive hate against a certain group, or for the politicians to come in and save the day. this movie just took it as fact that it was Pakistan.not only did this movie show Pakistanis in bad light it showed us in horrible light. we are peace loving people. Indians are not made ecstatic and happy by seeing the death of others. this movie made us Indians look like monsters, it made us look like we celebrate the death of others. and it mislabels this as "Indians sense of justice". WRONG! Gandhi ji said an eye for eye leads to the whole world being blind. We are India, we believe in Gandhi ji's words, Gandhi did not live so that movies like this could be made and drive disunity, and anger, and hatred.Already we see in these reviews a message from someone saying: "Low Points/Bad Reviews just Because Pakistani Don't want to see the POSSIBLE REALITY"This user took your message that pakistanis are responsible as fact when it is not fact and just your notion. And it inspired hatred in him, he's saying its "reailty" ("possible reality" is an oxymoron, he's so blinded by his hatred). as soon as he sees bad reviews, he associates it to us "supporting Pakistan" which this movie shows as "supporting terrorism". ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE kabir khan and saif. I cant believe you did this. katrina can't even speak, she had no idea what she was getting into. (btw stop hiring her we don't enjoy seeing non Hindi speakers disgrace our movies, her accent is horrible, if you hire her don't let her talk and disgrace us, non-Hindi speakers are not stars here in India)i cannot believe this hate inspiring garbage by kabir khan after the beautiful heartfelt and touching masterpiece about unity and the goodness of people both pakistani and Indian alike, with bajrangi bhaijaan. utter disgrace kabir khan. utter disgrace.

I don't know why this movie is being rated low on IMDb....It should be rated 6- 7. I am giving a 10/10 because it touched my cord and gave me entertainment as an audience or moviegoer.Saif did great as an RAW agent, so does Katrina......They did their part with perfection...The movie is pacy, fun and make us feel proud of being Indian and hate Terrorism.. Kabir Khan brought another gem to display in the market like Bajrangi Bhaijaan.....No Spoilers.....Please go to theartre and watch...You will like it.....Greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt JAI HIND
