I, Nobody Movie Review: How is Prithviraj’s Action Thriller? Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest action thriller, ‘I, Nobody,’ has been released worldwide. Let’s delve into how this movie, with its shocking twists and mass dialogues, truly fares.
Malayalam actor and director Prithviraj Sukumaran is widely lauded for his acting prowess in numerous films and his directorial skill, demonstrated in ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Lucifer 2’. He is also set to play the villain ‘Ranakumbha’ in the upcoming ‘Varanasi’ alongside Superstar Mahesh Babu and S.S. Rajamouli. Currently, he takes the lead in ‘I, Nobody.’
Directed by Nisham Basheer, ‘I, Nobody’ features Prithviraj Sukumaran in the main role, with Parvathy Thiruvothu in a pivotal female lead role, alongside Hakeem Shajahan, Ashokan, Vijayaraghavan, and others. Mythri Movie Makers handled the Telugu release of this film.
Initial Promise, Lagging Second Half
The story revolves around Rajeev (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a government bank employee leading a seemingly ordinary life with his wife, Meera (Parvathy), and their two children. His life takes an unexpected turn when he inadvertently becomes entangled in a robbery. Subsequently, the individuals who committed the crime die, leaving Rajeev as the prime suspect in the eyes of the police. Rumors circulate that he possesses millions of rupees, and he also faces intense trolling on social media. The narrative then explores how Rajeev navigates these complex problems and ultimately proves his innocence.
Regarding the movie’s analysis, it evokes a comparison to Netflix’s ‘Money Heist’ web series. The events leading up to and following the robbery are suspenseful throughout. The first half is particularly engaging, offering unexpected twists despite some scenes appearing to drag. Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers a brilliant performance in the lead role, while Parvathy Thiruvothu also shines in her pivotal character. Additionally, the film benefits from excellent music and cinematography.
However, a significant drawback is the considerable lag in the second half, with the overall runtime proving to be a major hindrance. The film suffered because the second half lacked the gripping nature of the first half. Overall, ‘I, Nobody’ stands as an average action thriller, commendably carried by Prithviraj’s performance.

Looking Ahead
Ultimately, ‘I, Nobody’ is a missed opportunity, its potential stifled by a sluggish second half despite Prithviraj’s commendable effort. While he delivers, the film remains an average watch. One hopes for a sharper edit and tighter screenplay next time, allowing our stars to truly elevate South Indian thrillers to their full potential.
