Mirage

“In his crime thriller Mirage, director Jeethu Joseph has tried to inflate a wafer-thin plot and an equally papery script by slipping in twists very frequently. Although Mirage is packed with "twists," none of them manage to take our breath away, primarily due to the unimpressive screenwriting. Mirage fails to capture the audience's attention and interest, leaving viewers not care enough to whether the case is solved, let alone interested in the unravelling of the narrative's knots.”

“Overall, Mirage works as an engaging watch, with Jeethu delivering his trademark twists. But the burden of expectations and a tendency to overplay surprises hold the film back from becoming truly memorable.”

“The absence of a coherent, believable screenplay and the compulsion to deliver one shocking twist after another drains Mirage of any impact. Jeethu Joseph's Mirage attempts something similar, only that one is left wondering how the titular warning was not fully understood.”
