Radhika Apte doesn�t put a foot wrong as she goes about scaling it up gradually.
But they don�t really take away from the impact of the film. And Apte keeps you reeled in. She�s consistently been doing interesting work. With this one she has staked fair claim to be one of the best acts in Bolly town. �Phobia� is a genuinely frightener, so far away from those unintentionally comic monstrosities it keeps slinging out, that you feel like cheering. Keep your eyes slitted, and be on your guard, because something wicked this way comes. (more)

Radhika Apte offers social messages with a scary thriller
There are a few flaws in Phobia but Apte excels. Except for Mnau (played by Ankur Vikal), people around Mehek are weak characters, which have not been thought through. Their lack of common sense is jarring which halts the pace of the film.(more)

Watch this film for the many surprises it springs and, of course, for Radhika Apte in full flow.
Phobia wouldn't be half the film it is without the mercurial Radhika Apte. Watching her on the screen as emotions flash across her visage is an unalloyed delight. For the most part, the film is hers alone, and the camera revels in capturing the character's innermost feelings on her malleable face and expressive eyes. It is like being witness to a solo pantomime act in which a world of sensations is conveyed without a word being uttered. Phobia is a canny flick that places known genre conventions in fresh light, the kind that bestows new life on them. (more)

Phobia is a step ahead for Bollywood to explore the genres of psychological thrillers.
From the first frame of Phobia, there is something unsettling about it. It completely sucks you in with its intelligent story-telling. Well-paced, the first half takes a good amount of time to establish its complicated plot. With Radhika Apte�s fine performance, this film is a must-watch for those who love experimental cinema.(more)

Radhika Apte�s terrific performance and a few genuine jump scares make the thriller watchable!
Phobia had the potential of being one of those rare Bollywood psychological thrillers that you can proudly recommend to your friends. A genuinely claustrophobic first half and Radhika Apte�s fantastic performance were its aces. However the limp second half, especially the climax, only demotes its status to a decent thriller.(more)

PHOBIA is a well-made taut thriller with an amazing performance by Radhika Apte.
PHOBIA is a well-made taut thriller with an amazing performance by Radhika Apte. However the in film blood and gore may not be to everyone's liking affecting the film's overall box office prospects as it will appeal to a rather niche audience. Another factor that may affect the film is the low key promotion of the film due to which many people aren't aware of PHOBIA's release. But for them who have an appetite for the unconventional thrills and psychological mind games, don't miss PHOBIA.(more)
