    Switching Identity
    This is a story of two identical guy from completely different profession who decides to switch places for their own reasons.

    The script lacked logical material in its core and took a sharp turn at the end of the movie. The screenplay was quite average as many of the scenes lacked consistency with the previous scenes. The performance of the actors and actresses were mostly okay. The camera work looked fine but the editing was not that good.

    Overall it is an average film.
