Mirage

Started off well, but after around halfway, it started to become messy - with the director, I guess, trying too hard to justify the title by adding one twist after another.

After a while, it just got tiring, and you knew another pointless twist was coming.

What could have been a nice, engaging thriller turned into something mindless.

Honestly, I felt relieved when it finally ended, as I didn't have the stomach to handle one more twist!

It really was a Mirage!

After watching Mirage, I felt really disappointed.

The movie is full of old and overused ideas. From the start, you can easily guess what's going to happen next. The so-called "twists" are not surprising at all. You can see them coming from far away.

The writing is poor. The story doesn't feel real or interesting. The characters are not deep, and many scenes don't make much sense. It feels like the writers didn't put much effort into making the story strong.

The filmmaking is even worse. It doesn't feel like a proper movie - more like a cheap TV serial. The camera work, editing, and overall quality are very low. It just doesn't look or feel good.

But there is one good thing: the climax twist. That part was actually surprising and interesting. It's the only moment in the film that felt fresh and exciting.

Final Thoughts

Mirage had potential, but it was wasted. The movie is boring, predictable, and badly made. Only the ending twist was good the rest was forgettable.

If you like thrillers, this one might not be worth your time.

My rating: 3 out of 10.

Every few minutes the director retells the story with a different perspective, because there is a twist.

Finally it was exhausting. Also thanks to all this, they left a lot of holes in the story.

If it werent for Aparna, who carried the movie, it would have been difficult to watch this.

Pay attention to the script. If you make twists and retell parts, the story you said before must make sense!!

Decided to watch the dubbing and oh my god ! It was horrible. Story is like onion : later by layer but nothing at the end. Acting was as average as well. They could've done a lot better even with the small budget movie. Layering could've been a little better. Too many subplot and nothing conclusive at the end. They didn't even give good closing. It felt rushed yet too slow.

After 10 minutes, I was checking how long the movie was. After 20 minutes, started checking my emails. By 30 minutes, was looking for another movie to watch.

Maybe the Malayalam movie magic is gone, or maybe movies like this are killing it faster. A good cast, but no real acting. Their faces and lines sound like kids reading from a textbook. It felt like watching a circus, just filmed with a nice camera.
