About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, identity-swap crime story with constant pressure and escalating danger; Not for you if you prefer light romance or low-stakes comedy like Chennai Express.
Pros: twisty identity mix-up; fast-moving plot; high-stakes tension | Cons: familiar premise; ruthless behavior; implausible moments
