Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif's Phantom has had a cracker of a weekend at the box office. In its first three days, the Kabir Khan film has netted Rs 33.18 crore in India. The film had opened to Rs 8.46 crore. Phantom hit the screens on July 28, and ever since, has seen growing footfall in theatres.
Based on the 26/11 Mumbai Attacks, Phantom deals with Daniyal Khan (Saif Ali Khan) playing a wronged ex-Indian Army officer who is roped in for a mission to kill all four masterminds of the attacks. Because of its controversial subject, Phantom was met with a ban in Pakistan. Jama'at-ud-Daw'ah chief Hafiz Saeed, who has a character playing him in Phantom, had moved court asking for the film to not be released in Pakistan. A few days after Saeed's plea, the Lahore High Court ordered a ban on Phantom in the country.
