You do feel having brushed past a war-ravaged Syria. The costume and the set designers have done a brilliant job. It was good to see Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in the film. The supporting cast- Sabyasachi Chakrabarty and the other actors playing significant Pakistani characters have been brilliant in their parts. She falls flat during the emotional scenes. She is yet to reach a stage as an actor where she can make the audiences cry while enacting an emotional scene. After ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Omkara’, ‘Phantom’ deserves to find a mention in Saif’s best performances. The actor has always needed quality films to prove time and again that he has more to offer as an actor. ‘Phantom’ is indeed a treat for Saif Ali Khan fans. At various other portions (without divulging deeper into the narrative) Kabir takes too much liberty and makes the mission look easily achievable. But Kabir does succeed in keeping you glued to your seats. The portions shot in Beirut look visually appealing but the essence gets ruined as we get to see Daniyal and Nawaz escape a little too easily. Nonetheless, at a few junctures, cinematic liberties do tend to dilute the concept of realism, thus making them look like mere fantasies. The book couldn’t have been adapted page-by-page, and hence the story was shortened and further fictionalised to befit the requirements of the silverscreen. Kabir Khan does deserve a wolf-whistle for the same.
The subject of the film being extremely sensitive, it must have taken oodles of courage to make a film based on it. Thus, begins Daniyal’s mission to kill David Headley and Harris Saeed! He flies to London where Nawaz Mistry (Katrina Kaif) waits to assist him identify a man who is part of a Pakistan-based terror group. After a few days of persuasion, Daniyal agrees to join them to regain his lost honour and respect. When approached by the Intelligence officers, he declines their proposal. Soon, they put their acts together to find the one, who could help them in their mission to do so.Įnter Daniyal Khan (Saif Ali Khan), a court-marshalled army officer, who lives a life that the society is oblivious of.
