I, Nobody Review (Twitter): This Prithviraj Sukumaran Heist Thriller Wins Praise

Malayalam thriller I, Nobody landed in theatres today, and based on how viewers on X are reacting, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvothu might have pulled off another superb winner. The pattern across most reviews is pretty consistent so far. People are loving the first half, the visuals are getting singled out again and again, and the craft on display, from the camera work to the action choreography, is being treated as the film's biggest strength. Where things get a little shakier is the second half, with a fair number of viewers feeling the story loses some of its grip once the interval passes. Even those pointing out that dip, though, still seem to walk away happy with the performances and how the whole thing looks and sounds. From "gripping, high-octane cinematic experience" to "engaging thriller", this I, Nobody review on (Twitter) takes you through some major reactions.

I, Nobody Review (Twitter)

SmartBarani opened with praise for the setup itself, calling I, Nobody "a unique premise for a heist thriller" and pointing to the cinematography, the stunt choreography and the interval block as standout moments. There was some pushback too, with a few logical gaps and softer emotional moments showing up in the second half. Even so, the final call was that it holds up as a "WATCHABLE MOVIE."

AmuthaBharathi landed on 3.25 out of 5, calling the first half genuinely engaging thanks to some strong action sequences. The background score got a mention, and so did the climax, which the reviewer found satisfying. The main gripe was the runtime, nearly three hours, which felt like it could have used some trimming, along with a second half screenplay that could have been tighter.

Fahir Maithutty was one of the clearer voices on this. The reviewer felt the two halves almost belong to different films, with the first bringing freshness, mystery and a genuinely strong interval, before the second half drifts and loses its footing. One thing that stayed consistent throughout, according to Fahir, was Jakes Bejoy's music, which kept pulling its weight even when the story wobbled.

That said, plenty of viewers weren't dwelling on the flaws at all. BEN K MATHEW had nothing but praise, calling I, Nobody a "gripping, high-octane cinematic experience." He credited Sameer Abdul's writing and Nisam Basheer's direction for keeping the film engaging from the opening scene right through to the end.

Levi Ackerman echoed a similar view, describing it as "an engaging thriller" built on intense action and a screenplay that keeps its grip. The reviewer did note that the climax doesn't bring a major twist, but felt that didn't take away from the experience, calling it satisfying on the big screen regardless.

I, Nobody Story

Directed by Nisam Basheer and written by Sameer Abdul, the film follows Rajeevan, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran, an ordinary government employee whose life spirals out of control after he gets pulled into a bank heist. It sits somewhere between a psychological drama and a straight up crime thriller, mixing suspense and action as Rajeevan finds himself caught in something far bigger than he ever expected.

Prithviraj Sukumaran leads the film as Rajeevan, opposite Parvathy Thiruvothu, who plays Meera. Rounding out the cast are Suraj Venjaramoodu, Dileep, Prashant Nair as DGP Bhuven Desai, and Anshif Dp.

Based on how the first reviews on Twitter are shaping up, I, Nobody has clearly impressed people with its performances, its visuals and a first half that's pulling viewers in fast.
