I was thrilled by the name phobia which means fear and the heroinin the movie was scraed at evry seccond in the movie the story line is Pavan Kripalani is a genius to have worked on a script like Phobia. Right from the film’s concept of throwing light on the concept of phobia and building it into a fine thriller is a difficult job. The tight screenplay of the film keeps the audiences riveted to the screens right from the word go.
The first half is terrifying and he manages to leave the viewers confused as the lines between the film being a psychological thriller or a supernatural one are thinned.
In the second half, one particularly finds content missing and it’s mainly the performance that keeps the film afloat. Also, the plot has its haphazard moments in the second half as it rushes to reach a conclusion that many may not understand.
There are also intentionally comic elements added in the plot that come as a relief after a scary build up.
Characters are brilliantly written and especially the sidekicks such as Manu, the strange neighbour and Nikki also the young college-going neighbour. They are blended in the story at crucial points and keep the story moving ahead.
Bollywood rarely touches such genres and hence this film has a sense of an achievement for even attempting such a subject.
Plenty of spine-chilling moments come and go all through the film, making it quite difficult for the weak-hearted.
