Swag

Overall the film felt like a live play where actors want to give their best and even story is good, but the whole thing still seems off.

This film is a good example in which a good amount of effort went into writing the story but other areas of bringing it to the celluloid were done unenthusiastically including dialogues, direction and screenplay.

While watching, it was evident that the actors were trying to give it their best shot, but still the final result felt artificial. It could have been due to the direction or screenplay. Editing felt very abrupt at many places. Music was below average. Production design for the historical part involving castles was good.

The movie is very good. The second half is a bit slow and uninteresting but overall the movie is a good attempt.

Shri Vishnu has done Lifetime Award winning acting. He has done very well in total 5 roles.

Meera Jasmin garu has to say Chomeback with this movie. Even if this character is not present in the climax, the nose job gives a lot of impact to that character. Rituvarma nice good job. Rest of the actors have done well in their characters.

The point taken by director Harshit Goli is well known but dealt very well. That does not mean that there are no mistakes. They do not appear until the climax. But the flashback is a bit confusing. It seems that it is not clear.

It's good to communicate your ideas through a cinema, but what if the cinema itself ends up as a 2.5 hr long social commentary? That's exactly Swag is all about.

Director Hasith Goli deserves a pat on the back for coming with such a noble intention, but the execution was far from satisfactory. If viewed as a cinema, 1st half is a crashing bore, with literally so much going on the screen without any impact. But the interval makes us stick to the narrative. The entire second half becomes preachy, contrary to what they have promoted. One particular episode stands out, but rest of the movie isn't upto the mark.

Credit to Sree Vishnu for donning multiple getups, although one role stands out, rest all felt as a gimmicks, thanks to the flat writing. Rest of the cast did what they were given.

Technically, the movie is basic, BGM by Vivek Sagar is fine, editing makes sure proceedings aren't confusing, cinematography is okayish.

At the end, when viewed as a cinema, SWAG disappoints, but can watch it once for its intentions.

I have heard mixed reviews about this film before watching it. But when I started watching it, I was totally engaged with the screenplay. The characters and the story is amazing. I feel everyone should watch the film with their families. The top 3 best performances are Meera Jasmin, Sree Vishnu and Ravi Babu. Sree Vishnu in 4 different roles is worth mentioning. Meera Jasmin's comeback after a very long time is soothing. Ravi Babu and Getup Sreenu's comedy timing are hilarious.

The second half shoes intense story. This might bore the audiences a little after entertaining first half. But this is the crucial part of the story. With an open mind if you watch it, it will really touch your heart. I can happily say, it is one of the best films I have watched in 2024.

A well portrayed Movie with a Great Concept to be understood raised and Followed to bring that level of equality to uplift the human spirits as human's. Mr Shri Vishnu Sir acting is stupendous and is rocking. The best way of story telling is visualised and depicted here. The Director did a wonderful Job in cinematography and narration. First half is been funny yet composed and later half shined the story to another level . That's the craft and visual art of narrating a story with humour which also showcase a great message emotions and societal morals which are to be raised to bring that change .
