Reviews

Ivide has received a mix of reviews from critics and audiences alike. According to IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.7/10, indicating a lukewarm reception. Reviewers commend Prithviraj Sukumaran's performance, highlighting his ability to portray the complexity of his character with depth. The Times of India mentions, 'Prithviraj shines in his role, bringing a compelling blend of determination and vulnerability to the screen.' However, the film has faced criticism for its pacing and narrative structure. One reviewer from The Hindu notes, 'While the premise is intriguing, the execution falters at times, leading to moments that feel dragged out.' The action sequences, crafted by a capable team, are praised for their intensity, yet some critics felt they overshadowed the character development, leading to a disconnect between the audience and the protagonist's journey. Schokam’s ratings on Rotten Tomatoes reflect this ambivalence, with many appreciating the film's ambition but feeling it does not fully deliver on its promise. Overall, Ivide has found a niche audience, but its mixed reviews suggest that the film may not resonate equally with all viewers.
