Anushka Sharma Is Delightful As The Bride In Spirit; Get Set To Entertained

Anshai Lal makes his directorial debut and it is a confident one at that. I strongly feel, more than the story, its his execution of it that works more.

Directions either metaphysical or wisecracking, is carried out by the makers of Phillauri. They appear, instead, to be content with the fact that there is a ghost, and that she happens to be from Punjab. Thus we are given an insipid groom, a simpering bride and their apparent romance with absolutely...(more)

Movie Review

Phillauri is a winner and that much was evident from the trailer. The idea is superbly original, culturally on point and has great potential. The problem is, you only get what you see in the trailer.
