Identity Card Reviews
2
If anything, Vipin Sharma's acting is what stays with you. Watch the film, if you must, for the intentions and Sharma's skills.
4
...throughout the film, you keep wondering if it was intended to be a short dramedy or a gut-wrenching tale of suffering. In either case, it fails to make an impact. After all, you can't merely 'touch upon' an issue as sensitive and intricate as Kashmir.We don't know about identity but the film lacks substance for sure.

Identity Card, attempts to engage itself with the burning issue of Kashmir, but falls flat. The film is riddled with poor acting, bad script and half-hearted attempt by director Rahat Kazmi....In all, Identity Card is lost in a muddle.

Identity Card would have made greater impact if it were presented as a short film instead of a full-length feature.

In a film swathed in the aura of a doom there are flashes of tremendous humour and warmth. A brave bold thought provoking sensitive thriller . Strongly recommended.

Identity Card does poorly as a film. While the story might connect with Kashmiri's on an emotional level, it would fail to touch a regular audience. Complete lack on efficiency despite having a decent enough story makes Identity Card just about average.

A PPT history lesson about Kashmir at the end sums up a conflicted effort that could have been the new Wednesday. Instead, it leaves us to ponder over why the impetus was either on awareness or on storytelling, with both seldom combining to form a sequence.

Promises a mature debate on a vexed issue but is let down by the callow craft of the director.
