I walked into "Swargam" with moderate expectations, but unfortunately, the movie failed to impress me. The film's bottom half is engaging and thought-provoking, but the weak storyline and poor character development in the first half make it a chore to sit through.
Conclusion
Overall, "Swargam" is a disappointing movie that fails to live up to its potential. The weak backstory and poor character development make it hard to connect with the characters, and the predictable plot twists are frustrating.
Improved the pacing of the movie, making it more engaging and suspenseful.
By addressing these issues, the filmmakers could have created a more engaging and thought-provoking movie that would have resonated with audiences.

I recently had the opportunity to watch "Identity", a Malayalam movie featuring Tovino Thomas, which explores the theme of identity and its complexities. Unfortunately, the film fails to deliver on its promise, becoming a drag that's difficult to digest.
A Confusing and Meandering Plot
The movie follows a young man, played by Tovino Thomas, who is struggling to find his place in the world. As he navigates his relationships and career, he begins to question his own identity and sense of self. However, the plot is convoluted and meandering, making it difficult to follow and become invested in the character's journey.
The film's attempts to explore the complexities of identity are admirable, but they are ultimately undermined by the weak narrative and character development. The pacing is slow and plodding, with long stretches of boring exposition that fail to add any real depth to the story.
A Misguided Exploration of Identity
The movie's portrayal of identity is overly simplistic and lacks nuance. The film suggests that identity is something that can be easily discovered or changed, but it fails to explore the complexities and challenges that come with finding one's sense of self.
Furthermore, the film's themes of identity and self-discovery are not fully developed, leaving the audience with a sense of confusion and disconnection. The movie's message is unclear and ambiguous, making it difficult to understand what the filmmakers are trying to say.
A Weak and Underdeveloped Cast
The cast of "Identity" is equally disappointing. Tovino Thomas, who is known for his versatility and range, is wasted in a underdeveloped and one-dimensional role. The supporting cast is equally weak, with characters that feel more like caricatures than fully fleshed-out people.
A Recommendation to Avoid
Overall, I would not recommend "Identity" to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and engaging movie experience. The film's convoluted plot, misguided exploration of identity, and weak cast make it a chore to watch.
If you're looking for a movie that explores the complexities of identity and self-discovery, I would suggest looking elsewhere. There are many better films that tackle these themes in a more nuanced and thought-provoking way.

I recently had the opportunity to watch "Bad Genius", a movie that tries to tackle complex themes like genius, identity, and social pressure. Unfortunately, the film falls flat due to a convoluted and misguided concept.
A Confusing and Unengaging Plot
The movie follows a high school student, Lynn, who uses her genius-level intellect to cheat on exams and become a top student. However, as she rises to the top, she realizes that her actions are not aligned with her true self. The film tries to convey a message about the importance of staying true to oneself and rejecting social pressure, but it ends up feeling like a jumbled mess.
The plot is riddled with inconsistencies and plot holes, making it difficult to become invested in the characters or their struggles. The pacing is also uneven, with long stretches of boring exposition that fail to add any real depth to the story.
A Misguided Exploration of Genius and Identity
The movie's attempt to explore the concept of genius is particularly misguided. Lynn's genius is portrayed as a means to an end, rather than an inherent part of her personality or identity. This reduces her intelligence to a mere tool for achieving social status, rather than a genuine aspect of her character.
Furthermore, the film's portrayal of social pressure is overly simplistic and lacks nuance. The movie suggests that social pressure is the primary motivator for Lynn's actions, but it fails to explore the complexities of social expectations and the ways in which they can be both oppressive and liberating.
A Weak and Unengaging Cast
The cast of "Bad Genius" is equally disappointing. The lead actress, Chutimon, fails to bring any real depth or nuance to her character, making it difficult to become invested in her struggles. The supporting cast is equally one-dimensional, with characters that feel more like caricatures than fully fleshed-out people.

Overall, I would not recommend "Bad Genius" to anyone looking for a thoughtful and engaging movie experience. The film's convoluted plot, misguided exploration of genius and identity, and weak cast make it a chore to watch.
