Phantom review by ANIZ FILMVALA


Phantom

review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

Directed by Kabir KhanCast: Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub,Sabyasachi Chakrabarty,Rajesh Tailang &Qazi Touqeer

Kabir Khan’s Phantom is a baffled film with juxtapose mission – impossible narrative to keep you unengaged till you bask to leave the cinema hall with repulsion of a bad weekend. Thanks to the super star casting and the magnanimous filming which might be a little source of money value, otherwise the scripting is one hell of soreness to follow. As yet another movie to review the tragedy of our country’s unforgettable memory of a terrorist attack during 26/11.

Either you show a meticulous account of the brain behind the plotting of such mayhem with detailed parameters to convince the sane audience or just create a mockery out of the seriousness of such gruesome act which some masterminds create and are never bought to the books of crime. Entertainment should not be the criteria to ridicule the facts and the investigation [which are still on] and make a movie to just scheme insignificant methods of how easily a terrorist outfits can be bought down to knees with a one man army.

Wakeup man the audience of present generation is intellectual and suave and can’t be taken for a ride to fill the theaters easily for the weekends target to rock the box office.

The sizzling and glamorous Urvashu Rautela will be seen in Bhaag Johnny's new chartopping song 'Daddy Mummy', picturised on lead actor Kunal Kemmuand Urvashi herself. What makes this number uber upbeat is that it is a Hindi version of a Tamil chartbuster created by Devi Sri Prasad that went viral. 
Sensing the potential of this South Indian hit number, Bollywood producer and music baron Bhushan Kumar, producer of Bhaag Johnny, acquired the rights for his Shivam Nair-directed movie that also features Zoa Morani and Mandana Karimi.
Urvashi attributes bagging the song to her good equation with the producers. "I've previously worked with them for the song'Love Dose', and I also have a three-film deal with them. When I heard that Gifty will be at the helm, I knew I had to do it. More so after all the praise I had heard about him from Honey while shooting 'Love Dose'," says Urvashi, who describes the 'Daddy Mummy'number as super-hot. The actress, who is trained in various dance forms — bharatnatyam, kathak, jazz, ballet and belly dancing — says the film producers were aware of her dancing skills and they wanted someone who they felt would do justice to the moves. "It's a hardcore dance number, requiring high energy and at the same time, it is very stylized,'' enthuses Urvashi, who borrowed inspiration from Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry for her look in this sultry number.
Well we are sure this song is going be to THE chart buster of the year!! Specially with Urvashi'a mesmerizing moves in it!

Pakistan recreated in Punjab for Kabir Khan's 'Phantom'



Kabir Khan's latest presentation- 'Phantom' is set against the backdrop of post 26/11 terror attacks, which shocked the whole nation.

The plot revolves around global terrorism and demanded Pakistan as a backdrop for certain scenes.

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan director was keen on shooting those scenes across border, but the unit felt that it wouldn't be safe to do so.
Citing everyone's concerns, Kabir Khan decided to recreate actual locations in Punjab.

 Cinematographer Aseem Mishra says, “We created Pakistan in Malerkotla in Punjab. Kabir, the production designer and I narrowed down Malerkotla because of its mosque, local people, narrow lanes and overall architecture, which creates the verisimilitude of a town from Pakistan. We dressed it up with posters and flags etc. I have given this section a little greenish warm feel to it. We got some really beautiful evening light in some of the scenes. When you see the film, it all looks so real.“

Interestingly,  Kathryn Bigelow too had recreated Pakistan in Chandigarh and other locations in Punjab when she shot her film, Zero Dark Thirty (2013).

The Saif and Katrina starrer-'Phantom' is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and  Sidharth Roy Kapur.

The film is all set to release on 28th of August, 2015
