Pradeep Moolethara
Identity (2025) is Pradeep Moolethara's latest dive into the labyrinth of self—yeah, that whole “who am I really?” dilemma, but with way more style and some wicked plot twists. The film kicks off with a guy whose life looks perfectly normal on the surface (as they always do). He’s got a job, a family, the works. But then, outta nowhere, strange things start happening. Weird phone calls, unexplainable flashes of memory, faces in the crowd that seem just a little too familiar. You know that feeling when you’re sure you’ve forgotten something huge? Multiply that by a hundred.
Before you know it, reality starts unraveling. Our main dude can’t tell if he’s losing his mind, being gaslit by someone close, or if the universe itself is playing a sick joke on him. There’s this shadowy organization lurking in the background, and suddenly the stakes skyrocket. Secrets buried for decades claw their way to the surface. Trust? Out the window. Every friend could be a traitor, every moment feels loaded with hidden meaning.
Honestly, it’s a wild ride—think psychological thriller meets a dark, modern noir vibe. The story keeps you guessing, throwing curveballs left and right. Moolethara doesn’t hold your hand through any of it either; you’re forced to piece things together as the protagonist does, stumbling through red herrings and half-truths. By the end, you’re left questioning what’s real and what’s just smoke and mirrors—a film that gnaws at you long after the credits roll.
