presenting horror comedy “Phone bhoot”
Horror aficionados Major and Gullu have been ‘spiritually’ connected with each other since childhood over their mutual love for trashy Hindi Horror Films.
Major (real name Sherdil Shergill) comes from a family of War Veterans and was expected to join the Army but the only war that he has a fought till date has been on Video Games.
Gullu (real name Galileo Parthasarthy) comes from a family of valedictorians and his ISRO scientist father expected him to join the NASA but Gullu is scared even at the thought of lighting a Diwali firecracker rocket.
Today, as Major and Gullu share their paid-for-by-parents Bandra bachelor-pad, their life itself seems like an endless tribute to the Horror genre. Constant family pressure forces them to make a really difficult choice - come up with a business idea that their fathers might like and invest in, or go back to their respective houses.
Serendipitously, a freak encounter with an other-worldly character results in them being blessed with the power to see Ghosts.
That very night a female spirit comes to their house, introduces herself as Ragini and offers a business deal to the two – “I will get into the bodies of people. You come and take me out. Fool-proof Business Idea.” The only catch – in return she will ask them for a favour in the future which they readily agree to honour.
Now starts the adventures of Team Phone-Bhoot where Ragini enters into the bodies of corrupt politicians, rich builders and other criminals and Major-Gullu stylishly exorcise her out.
As Phone-Bhoot flourishes by giving salvation to wandering souls, they are oblivious to the fact that their partnership had ruffled the feathers of Atmaram, an evil dark lord, running a multi-crore crime-syndicate scam that uses wandering spirits as hitmen to kill people, on the false promise of giving them moksha/salvation.
What lies ahead is a crazy battle between good and evil, laced with funny ghostly encounters and the bizarre outlandish ways in which Team Phone-Bhoot comes out victorious.
Starring Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi, “Phone Bhoot” hits the silver screen on 4th November 2022.
