‘Identity’ movie review: Tovino Thomas-Trisha Krishnan investigative thriller gets lost in a convoluted plotline

The Hindu  

If someone were to narrate the story of Identity, directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, chances are that halfway through, the person will get lost in a maze of complicated side stories. Identity Directors: Akhil Paul and Anas Khan Cast: Tovino Thomas, Trisha Krishnan, Vinay Rai, Shammi Thilakan, Arjun Radhakrishnan, Vishak Nair, Archana Kavi, Mandira Bedi Run-time: 157 minutes Storyline: A sketch artiste attempts to help a witness to a crime to uncover the identity of the killer, but her memory-related condition makes it a tricky affair The main plot revolves around Alisha, a key witness to a crime, whom Karnataka police officer Allen Jacob brings to Kerala as part of a witness protection programme. The film takes several convenient turns without any explanations, right from a major character getting shot and then appearing unscathed in the next scene to another scene where a chartered flight hurtling towards a crash miraculously makes a safe landing. Going by how Identity pans out in the end, the film would have looked better had it ended on a high at the halfway point, rather than labouring its way through all the tangled subplots.
