Identiti gave us amazing insights into the life of introverted people; we had a good time being taught the ins and outs of introverts as well as learning good lessons for ourselves
~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—Identiti was quite a familiar story as we’ve surely attended school with that one student who never interacted with the rest of the class. We often wondered back then what was going on in the student’s mind, well, Identiti provided the answer
—Watching Identiti was like being in a therapy class receiving life-changing lessons and this was mainly done through the motivational lines of the Psychology professor (Dr. Sumesh Areekuzhiyil).
“Introverts don’t hate socializing, nor lack any social skills…They do not need it anymore because they have conquered their own freedom. And that’s interesting because most of us are incapable of that”, a statement by the Psychology professor.
To think that all this time, we always thought being an introvert was like restricting one’s feelings, Identiti showed that it was actually victory over the fear of being alone
—What made Identiti special was the storytelling through the use of different visuals to show us Pooja’s (Archana Ravi) lifestyle. We could identify with some of her habits, aspirations, and desire to create a fake social media profile to connect with a crush

Bland
—Acting was a little plain across actors which regretfully affected the beauty of the storyline
