I, Nobody

"'I, Nobody' is a technically brilliant crime thriller anchored by Prithviraj Sukumaran, blending suspense, drama and action with stylish filmmaking."

"Technically, the film is sound, but the editing by Ramees MB could have been tighter in the second half."

"The film is far more compelling when it asks questions than when it starts answering them. As the screenplay begins connecting every thread, some of the ambiguity that made the opening hour so engrossing starts disappearing. I, Nobody doesn't completely fulfil the promise of its intriguing setup, but it remains an engaging thriller built on a strong central performance, and a confident hold over its central mystery."

"A sharp social thriller that doesn't quite stick the landing"

"I, Nobody is far from a perfect film, particularly because of its uneven second half and underwhelming conclusion. Even so, its engaging storytelling, strong performances, and entertaining action make it a worthwhile theatrical watch."

"A terrific first half makes I, Nobody look like a great thriller, until an increasingly muddled second half loses the plot. Despite its technical finesse, I, Nobody loses momentum in an overstuffed second half that struggles to match the promise of its brilliant opening."

"Prithviraj Sukumaran is anything but a ‘nobody’ in i, Nobody, which has an exciting premise and first half, but loses its plot once it aims for a larger social commentary"

"Nissam Basheer's bank heist thriller reunites Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvothu after years, but a bloated runtime, a sagging middle act and a mystery that does not justify its length restrict it."

"I, Nobody could easily have been 30 minutes shorter. It overstays its welcome, and that keeps it from the greatness it clearly has the ambition for. The promise of a heist thriller with a fresh screenplay treatment is real – the stumble in the last act is what stops it from getting there."

"i, Nobody is a technically accomplished heist thriller that promises much with its gripping opening and compelling central performances, but its overstretched narrative and inconsistent execution prevent it from delivering the satisfying payoff its intriguing premise deserves."

"His screenplay and Nissam Basheer's direction failed to utilise the potential of the storyline and ended up coming up with a lengthy run-of-the-mill & unexciting heist drama. There's nothing intelligent that we find in the screenplay of the film, and what we see is a protagonist who involves himself in never-ending action sequences one after the other."

"Prithviraj [is] stuck in a squandered premise"

"I, Nobody is an engrossing thriller that loses itself in political theatre, ultimately undermining its promising premise with heavy-handed messaging."

"Prithviraj Sukumaran, Parvathy's 'I, Nobody' sets out to be an extraordinary tale, falls short. Nissam Basheer's 'I, Nobody' offers a grounded family drama with strong performances, but ultimately falters in its payoff and resolution."

"Things are quite taut till the halfway point, with the movie taking us to all the unimaginable directions that Rajeevan's mind can travel to. However, the film becomes quite a different, messed up beast post-interval, and in its final act, I, Nobody fumbles a bit with a contrived redemption arc and closing scenes that leave one wondering what the film really wanted to convey."
