Phantom is a fictionalised account of Daniyal Khan(Saif), an Indian Army officer who was court marshalled, spearheading a covert mission to kill the masterminds of the ghastly 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
Research and Analysis Wing(RAW) officials form his team in the mission to bring a closure to all the victims of the cowardly attack.
Fed up and humiliated by Pakistan’s attacks on Indian soil and particularly the one that rocked Mumbai on 26/11, RAW decides to undertake a deadly unofficial mission.
While the chief of RAW – Roy(Sabyasachi) is still not convinced, it is his sub-ordinate, Zeeshan Ayub’s character that shows conviction towards the plan. They soon zero in on Daniyal Khan(Saif Ali Khan) a court-martialled army man to carry out their mission.
Thus he takes off to London, Beirut, Syria and Pakistan hunting down each of the terrorists involved in the 26/11 mission. His only co-conspirer on this secret mission is Nawaz Mistry(Katrina Kaif) who is a witness to all the accused.
Talking of patriotism, there is too much of that in the movie. From jingoistic dialogues to really vague ideas, Phantom has an overdose that mars the experience of an otherwise decent thriller. Some of the dialogues also border on jingoism, but are quite interesting and catchy nonetheless.
