Katrina Kaif starrer Phone Bhoot is a horror comedy which is seeing growth in its second day since release. The growth estimated is 34 percent and it made collections of ₹2.75 crore on Saturday. The film also featuring Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi, received a range of positive and mixed reviews.
Trade analyst Tran Adarsh tweeted on Sunday that, “#PhoneBhoot sees growth on Day 2 [+34.15%]… Needs that extra push on Day 3 for a decent weekend total… However, the #INDvZIM cricket match could affect its biz… Fri 2.05 cr, Sat 2.75 cr. Total: ₹ 4.80 cr. #India biz.”
Phone Bhoot’s fronting films namely Mili starring Jahnvi Kapoor and Double XL starring Sonakshi Sinha and Human Qureshi underperformed in the box office.
As reviewed by Hindustan Times, the film is “occasionally enjoyable”. The post read: “Phone Bhoot is a promising film. It is a smartly written but not quite so well-executed effort that has its pros and several cons as well. It is a decent addition to the growing horror comedy genre in Bollywood. It’s not quite Stree in terms of hilarity and innovation but it’s not as bad as Roohi either.”
The film is bankrolled by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s owned Excel Entertainment under the direction of Gurmmeet Singh who also helmed the blockbuster hit series, Mirzapur.
