Phantom Trailer and Short Review: From the director of Bajrangi Bhaijaan

The theatrical trailer of Phantom is out and the film is being promoted as “Produced by the makers of KICK” and directed by “Director of Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan”

The much-delayed Phantom finally sees the light of day next month and it couldn’t have released at a better time. Kabir Khan is being hailed as one of the best directors in the industry and he returns to directing a sleek action thriller.

“America ne Osama ko andhar ghus ke maara, toh hum yeh kaam kyu nahi kar sakte” asks Saif Ali Khan in one of the many hard-hitting dialogues in the trailer.

Footage of India’s most wanted man, Hafiz Saeed, addressing a rally in Pakistan, where he asks the Indian government “Have you proven that ISI was behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks? It’s been 6 years now, what have you done?”

Unlike Bajrangi Bhaijaan where the message was of peace between the two countries, director Kabir Khan takes on the Pakistan’s state-backed terrorists attacks and the Indian government’s inability to take strong action. Like Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub says in the trailer “Yeh log kitna bhi attack karle, hum log toh kabhi kuch nahi karte sir, sirf cricket khelna band karte hai sir”

Moving on to the performances, from whatever we get to see of him, Saif Ali Khan has does well, but his performance looks similar to ‘Agent Vinod’. Katrina looks beautiful, but her dialogue delivery is unsatisfactory yet again.

Overall, a good trailer, a little too similar to films like ‘Baby’ and ‘Agent Vinod’, but the overwhelmingly positive response to ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ should bring a lot more people to the theatres to watch Kabir’s latest film ‘Phantom’.

The film releases on 28th August 2015.

Rating: ★★★½☆

  • Kabir KHAN “EK tha tiGer” “Katrina FrOm PAKISTAN

    Kabir Khan “BAJRANGi BHAJAAN” Muni From PAKISTAN

    Kabir Khan “Phantom” Again For PAKISTAN

    Best Of Luck !

  • despite of having saif n katrina in d film..still it is being promoted as kabir khan’s film…IT’S LIKE KABIR KHAN HAS BECOME POOR MAN’S RAJU HIRANI..lollzz

  • Agent Vinod isn’t a bad film either but missing bollywood touch. Kabir khan knows to make hollywood film in bollywood style, phantom will be super hit like Race, saif katrina rocks

  • Even ETT looks similar too Agent Vinod but it was record grosser, Kabir khan is the most successful director after rohit shetty n raju hirani

  • I think it is one of the boldest trailers i have seen showing clippings of Hafiz Saeed directly!The scale looks huge too,action scenes done brilliantly!!
    But what looks below par are Saif and Katrina,expected better from Saif atleast.

    Now people will know the value of Akshay Kumar’s role in BABY,not every actor’s cup of tea.

  • Pakistani audience will receive a shock seeing this trailer as it is from the director of “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”,lol
    Definitely it will be banned there.

  • In one end they make movies like bajrangi bhaijaan which creates peace n positive energy between both countries india and pakistan. and other hand we are making movies like this which gives different vibes n sparks between us i know its nothing related to it directly but i feel we should really stop making rivalry movies bcoz some where the other it affect the youth and I strongly feel youth are the backbone of this both countries in future. Where ever we live whichever part of land or countries we are still HUMAN.

  • this movie will be a flop as it shows lots of negativity about Muslims n Pakistan… they should make movies like Bajrangi bhaijan ,, in which there is no negativity about Muslims or Pakistan…. phantom will b a flop movie mark my words..

  • kabir khan in BB you tried to unite pakistani vs indian but in phantom your spreading hate at the peak. kabir khan you lost my respect and saif as well this is his second anti pakistani movie.

  • Films inspired from true accidents and persons always attracts attention of audience.. Be it political like Rajneeti or cricket-related film like AZHAR which is releasing on 13 May 2016 which has gone on floors recently…

    Phantom will be a success story..Although Saif ali khan and Katrina are looking a bit odd in the trailer.. Kabir khan will ensure film will work as a whole…

  • PHANTOM trailer is a good to catch on August.
    There are two films to catch on the month of August.

    Kabir latest film create records on BOI.

    If you accept BOI figures then you have to accept Bajrangi break every single records.

    Bajrangi >> Hny, Pk and Dhoom 3

    If you accept Taran Adarsh figures then you have to accept Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and Kick are All time blockbuster.

    Phantom will get some limelight from Bajrangi

  • Films based on real life incidents always draws attention of audience.. Be it films like Phantom or cricket related like AZHAR which is releasin on 13 may 2016 which has gone on floors recently..

    Phantom will be a success story.. Saif katrina are looking a bit odd and mismatched.. But Kabir khan will ensure film will work as a whole…

  • If wom good then: 1st day-8, 2nd day-10.25, sunday-12.75, 1st week end-31, 1st week-55cr, 2nd week-16cr, 3rd week-4cr, life time-75cr. If mixd-62cr.

  • Trailer is very good..
    But katrina kaif’s dialouge delivery sucks, she can’t act.
    New York was the only film in which she acted amazingly.
    I wish Kabir Khan would have taken any popular actor instead of Saif..

  • really good trailer. luks similar to baby but more commercial. so expecting a 100cr hit.saif will b back from bad form thanx to my fav kabir khan

  • Y r they using this kind of promotion to publicize the film. I don’t think it has the potential to be a hit
