Django doesn't read form

I have form:

<form id="contact-form" class="contact__form" method="POST" action="{% url 'backcall' %}">

    {% csrf_token %}
    <span class="text-color">Send letter</span>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name">
    </div>
     <div class="form-group">
       <input type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control" placeholder="Phone (+380)"  pattern="[\+][3][8][0]\d{9}" minlength="13" maxlength="13" />
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group-2 mb-4">
        <textarea name="message" class="form-control" rows="4" placeholder="Your letter"></textarea>
    </div>
    <button class="btn btn-main" name="submit" type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

views.py: 

def backcall(request):
    backcall = BackCall(name = request.POST['name'], phone = request.POST['phone'], email=request.POST['email'] , message = request.POST['message'])
    backcall.save()
    return redirect('thanks')

models.py 

class BackCall(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=13)
    email = models.EmailField()
    message = models.TextField(default=None)
    datetime = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

When I fill out the form and submit nothing happens. When I follow the link 'backcall/' I get an error.

What the problem can be connected with and how to fix it?

Please, search more, exist the solution

Use the MultiValueDict's get method. This is also present on standard dicts and is a way to fetch a value while providing a default if it does not exist.

def backcall(request):
    backcall = BackCall(name = request.POST.get('name'), phone = request.POST.get('phone'), email=request.POST.get('email') , message = request.POST.get('message'))
    backcall.save()
    return redirect('thanks')

You should check whether or not the record exists in your database, I think, a quick example would be:

 def backcall(request):
     obj, created = BackCall.objects.get_or_create(email=request.POST.get('email'),
                           defaults={'phone': request.POST.get('phone'),
                                              'name': request.POST.get('name'),
                                              'message': request.POST.get('message')}

    if created:
       return redirect('thanks')

    return ...
