The film starts with two ideological groups in constant conflict with one another because of the privatization of a prison. The city is then reeling with pressure when a criminal (Shivarajkumar) keeps the prison locked down with previous CBI official (Prashant Narayanan), an unmistakable character, in his guardianship. City magistrate Chengappa (Jayaram) is given the task to assume command over the circumstance.
Shivarajkumar, back in his best symbol of a hoodlum, takes on the job easily. Called 'Phantom', he easily gets into vigilante mode as Srini doesn't pass up on an opportunity to commend his spectacular screen presence. The people who found veritable whistle-commendable scenes missing in Shivarajkumar's past Kannada movies will be satisfied with Phantom, while the people who found the entertainer's on-screen loot in Corrections officer could partake in his pivotal turning points. The de-maturing of the veteran entertainer is another liberal yet legit fanboy accolade from Srini.
Be that as it may, when you move past the hero of Phantom and spotlight basically on its story, the film seems to be a lost an open door; Srini's screenplay wavers between being layered and endless. In certain spots, you respect the astuteness of composing, while in others, you are baffled by the ludicrous idea of the turns. The amazements in the plot show up helpfully to suit the legend's interest, as a large portion of them are strange in any case.
Additionally, the non-straight screenplay of Gost is overstuffed, to such an extent that relatively few scenes wait to one. Of course, the high speed portrayal doesn't permit you to take your eyes off the screen, however the changes are unexpected to such an extent that you seldom get time to handle the procedures. Assuming this is the sort of film you wish to watch — wherein amusement eclipses a natural encounter — Phantom merits your cash.
Arjun Janya's experience score mixes well with the film's very quick speed. Among the activity arrangements, one including cuffs sticks out. In the mean time, entertainer Jayaram, who has named for himself in Kannada, some way or another figures out how to ooze eminent energy into a caricaturish character.
The film leaves you with a large number of unanswered inquiries which Srini has a chance to reply in the spin-off of Phantom. Fortunately, the chief doesn't compel the idea of Srini-stanza (including his sophomore film Birbal) in this trip and eases off of the thought.
A heist spine chiller with a proper course of events in Kannada after quite a while feels like a much needed development. Phantom is a film that merits appreciation for its endeavor; not such a huge amount for its outcome.
