PHILLAURI Review

PHILLAURI-- Unspirited and tame!
Anushka Sharma's ghostly self-indulgence churns out a ghastly two hours plus insipid fare which is neither entertaining nor frightening!

Oscillating between the love stories of a contemporary urban couple (with the ubiquitous indecisive NRI groom, incessant marriage ceremonies, a scotch sipping grandma), and a star-crossed couple of pre-independence era (rustic Punjab, numerous folklores, sepia hues, patriotic backdrop), the movie does justice to none.

Little to laugh at, less to empathise with; the strain of not identifying with either set-up leads to a complete disconnect with the drama unfolding laboriously.

Ironic that a movie starring a bona-fide ghost lacks soul!
