Apart from the not-so-fresh subject, director treated it different from the usual track is appreciable.

#Phoenix - An average romantic-horror drama that has been executed straightforward. A commendable debut from #VishnuBharathan and decent writing from #MidhunManuelThomas. The horror elements were less, and the story was predictable for me. Not too good, not too bad. 3/5 pic.twitter.com/lqp2qLGhbX
