Another film critic wrote: ” Applause to the whole crew for a unique package. It’s a stylish mystery thriller. The initial moments and first half give an impression that it’s a routine hero-villain social revenge flick, and we can easily predict the entire first half.”
#Identity – Applause to the whole crew for a unique package. It’s a stylish mystery thriller.
The initial moments and first half give an impression that it’s a routine hero-villain social revenge flick, and we can easily predict the entire first half.

Despite minor flaws, this one offers a superb theatrical experience, packed with a well-researched screenplay. Execution will reach its peak in the second half. A pre-climax aeroplane sequence offered tremendous tension. Admirable action sequences as well. Go for it. pic.twitter.com/5ayJ4rfp5l

The effort is evident in the writing, but it’s slow-paced & has loopholes. Tovino Thomas & Vinay Rai shine in the 2nd half. Trisha miscast. The aeroplane sequence is excellent. 3.5/5.”

Avg 1st half was followed by a good 2nd half & superb final 45min.
Technically great; esp DOP & BGM.
The effort is evident in the writing, but it’s slow-paced & has loopholes.
Tovino & Vinay Rai shines in the 2nd half. Trisha miscast.
The aeroplane sequence is excellent.
3.5/5 pic.twitter.com/3WCd8JGaFv— Aditya Binu (@aditya_binu) January 2, 2025
