Switchh

Sameer Lodaya

I request the makers to pls keep this kind of switchhs which gives shock to be kept off

Poor storyline ,pathetic direction ,dumb car races ,zero performances actors, not a single thing is good in this movie..why don't the producers donate the money rather than blowing on such projects

Bad one.

Felt like robots were delivering dialogue and dialogue were wriiten by some pathetic robot. There is not single good thing to say about this movie. What a waste!! What a waste!!

Atleast "Switch" got its locations and cars real unlike "Drive" in which both were unreal. 2 stars for that.

Coming to the main film, it feels like a slightly better version of Drive (reasons stated above) . But, this film was made for 2014 so everything in this film, be it the style in which it is presented etc etc (which I'll discuss more) all look dated.

Editing of this film is terrible. Scenes cut off suddenly, some transition into the next scene like a fading effect of PowerPoint presentation and so on. Chase sequences race sequences play in 4X speed I mean what's the hurry? These things literally kill the film and now wait...more to come.

The dialogues of this film, quite a lot , are trash and cringy. In fact , the lead actor (not vikrant but the other one who plays Neil) is so bad in his dialogue delivery , it seems he is doing a stage play. In fact, almost every one in this film has delivered dialogues like that. Another department that dissapointed.

Story is nothing new but it has a twist at the end that is so lame and bad that you feel "kuch bhi hogya literally!"

Songs literally pop up randomly and completely disrupt the flow. In fact, there is this one song called "Bewaja" . It sounds really good but just look at its hilarious choreography. It seemed at times the makers ran out of budget so they shot some sequences in that song on some mobile device literally and the entire song looks like it was a single album made for YouTube and they literally just picked it up and pasted it into this film I mean it felt so awkwardly out of place.

Performances, everyone below average, even a vikrant Massey for whom this was his 2nd project . There is literally a goon named "Pacha" , a word in some Indian languages means "Buttock" xD. Pacha's angle is forcibly included in this film.

Overall, even if it's a 2014 film, I know several hindi films from 2014 which, if you watch today , feel really well made but Switch, it's just an outright bad film with below average direction despite using flashy cars and dresses.

I just cannot get over the artificial way in which the actors deliver their dialogues and some dialogues are so cringy that it makes you facepalm literally. Story is going nowhere only most of times the ladies are in kinky dresses and speaking of nothing except money money and only money. Sometimes there are poorly shot race sequences that seem to play in 2x speed, a police officer instead of grilling Neil to reveal the secrets simply lets him go and gives his card saying "Contact me if you get info about them (Neil's team)" as if he would do and then poof! The police angle dissapears completely. Songs every now and then and so poorly edited scenes. Climax is like wtf and I did not even understand it even after rewatching it thrice its that lame.

No wonder even Vikrant Massey knew it was a bad film hence never bothered to even mention in 2021 that some film of his named "Switchh" is releasing.
