PERFORMANCES: Saif's performance is focused, clinical and precise, as the role demands.After Omkara this is probably his best performance while stating that Kaif is "able support " while performing action scenes.Sabyasachi Chakraborty,Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub are good as supporting character.

MUSIC: composed by Pritam.Song "Afghan jalebi" is excellent composition followed by "Sanware".

The main positive aspect of the film is the fast paced storyline which keeps you hooked and the edge of your seats and doesn't waster any time in dillydallying. To the point crisp narration is the USP of the movie.The unexpected twists and turns in the plot with no dull moments.

Overall Phantom is a gripping watch
