Swag

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.

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.

The concept's got some flavor, but the story's like a lukewarm pizza-kinda meh. A couple of characters pop, but most just fade into the background.

The screenplay? It drags like a long convo with your chatty uncle-kinda clumsy and hard to swallow.

Sri Vishnu flexed his acting chops across four roles, and Ritu Varma gave it her all, but the rest of the squad? Just vibin' at best.

Production design was on point-locations, sets, and props looked fresh, but the makeup? Let's just say it needed a glow-up.

Direction was decent, music was alright, and the cinematography? Just hanging out in the middle. Overall, you might wanna skip this one; it ain't worth your time...

Message by the movie and presentation of them movie is very good. But acting is top notch by Sri vishnu garu . I have no words to say what a talent he got. I got mesmerized by the transgender role. He literally looked like a goddess to me in his acting. I wish you next level movies for your career . Wanted to meet you in person if allowed. I am big fan of Nani Surya and sethupathi garu . Now you are on the same list . But this movie your acting is equivalent to Kamal sir. What a versatility . Lot of wishes for your work and dedication for each role in movie. I wish u get all awards for this tremendous work. Thanks for such a great movie.

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.
