New Delhi: The box office is simply lousy with new movies today, beginning with the controversial Phantom.
Directed by Kabir Khan and starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif, Phantom is set in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and deals with global terrorism. The film is based on Hussain Zaidi's novel Mumbai Avengers. It was recently banned by a Pakistani court after Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and alleged 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed argued that it contained 'filthy propaganda' against him and his outfit.

She faces dissonance soon after and returns, hoping to reconcile with her husband and children.
