In his review for NDTV Movies Saibal Chatterjee wrote: "Phillauri is an unconventional Bollywood entertainer that is watchable all the way. It does not rely on star power. It draws its strength instead from an off-kilter screenplay that for once might make you want to believe in the existence of ghosts."

Phillauri is a story of an NRI, played by Suraj Sharma, who is manglik and is made to marry a tree before his actual wedding. This tree is also the home of Shashi (Anushka Sharma), a ghost who insists that Suraj accept her as his bride. Then the story goes into flashback, revealing that Shashi was in love with a folk singer, played by Diljit Dosanjh.

Anushka, who has a cameo role in Sanjay Dutt's biopic, will next be seen in Imtiaz Ali's yet-untitled movie along with Shah Rukh.
