And, as entertaining the narration is, the makers leave no 'sense of wonder or horror or comedy' for the audience to enjoy because we are literally spoon-fed everything. 'Phone Bhoot' opens with the most typical opening sequence like that of a horror show, using elements like blood, thunder, lightning, and a voiceover which narrates the tell-tale of the entire film. This Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter starrer has been directed by the 'Mirzapur' fame director Gurmmeet Singh and that sets expectations high which are deflated moments later by the film. New Delhi: 'Phone Bhoot' is a mad ride of a horror comedy which hinges on absurdity borrowing references from the 80's, 90's of Bollywood and TV horror shows like 'Aahat', 'Vikram Vetaal', 'Ssshhhh.Koi Hai', etc.
