#ImGame: A Middling Gamble full of interesting choices
I’m Game starts with the confidence of a film that knows exactly what game it wants to play. Director Nahas Hidhayath delivers banger first half that showcases actor #DulquerSalmaan & his energy was a blast. For a considerable stretch, the gamble pays off.
The unusual fantasy element adds curiosity to an otherwise familiar betting, gamble and gangster setup, while DQ brings the swagger and physicality the character demands.

#ImGame is a breath of fresh air. Kudos to Nahas Hidhayath for pulling off such a difficult experiment with ease. @dulQuer is excellent! Not a typical mass film, but still has all the commercial elements with a fresh urban vibe. Ignore the negativity and experience it!
