‘Phantom:’ Will haunt empty cinema halls

Kabir Khan has made it his mission to deal with subjects related to India and Pakistan and their respective espionage agencies. If Ek Tha Tiger was about one-upmanship between two agencies in the field, Bajrangi Bhaijaan too involved ISI, the Pakistani agency, indirectly.

His latest Phantom is about a disrobed army officer for his alleged cowardice so much so that even his proud ex-army man father would not talk to him.

Phantom is about RAW (Research And Analyses Wing), the secret service agency of India, assigning a new recruit the mission to go to Pakistan and eliminate two of India’s biggest enemies, the terrorists, Hafeez Saeed and Zaki-ur- Rehman Lakhvi, the masterminds behind the 26/11 (2008) attacks on Mumbai, which killed 160 people and injured many.

Saif and Katrina share no chemistry, in fact, Katrina’s character is not even defined. She seeks revenge from Pakistanis because they tried to destroy Hotel Taj Mahal, Mumbai, where her dad took her once a week for tea when she was a child! Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub is a new recruit at RAW and it is his idea to send Saif to Pakistan to kill the villains; he is brighter than all others at the RAW including its chief. So much for the most reputed secret service agency of India!

The film’s tagline reads: A story you wish were true. It can’t be, it is not the Indian way. But, as fiction too, Phantom is poor.
