Atleast "Switch" got its locations and cars real unlike "Drive" in which both were unreal. 2 stars for that.
Coming to the main film, it feels like a slightly better version of Drive (reasons stated above) . But, this film was made for 2014 so everything in this film, be it the style in which it is presented etc etc (which I'll discuss more) all look dated.
Editing of this film is terrible. Scenes cut off suddenly, some transition into the next scene like a fading effect of PowerPoint presentation and so on. Chase sequences race sequences play in 4X speed I mean what's the hurry? These things literally kill the film and now wait...more to come.
The dialogues of this film, quite a lot , are trash and cringy. In fact , the lead actor (not vikrant but the other one who plays Neil) is so bad in his dialogue delivery , it seems he is doing a stage play. In fact, almost every one in this film has delivered dialogues like that. Another department that dissapointed.
Story is nothing new but it has a twist at the end that is so lame and bad that you feel "kuch bhi hogya literally!"
Songs literally pop up randomly and completely disrupt the flow. In fact, there is this one song called "Bewaja" . It sounds really good but just look at its hilarious choreography. It seemed at times the makers ran out of budget so they shot some sequences in that song on some mobile device literally and the entire song looks like it was a single album made for YouTube and they literally just picked it up and pasted it into this film I mean it felt so awkwardly out of place.
Performances, everyone below average, even a vikrant Massey for whom this was his 2nd project . There is literally a goon named "Pacha" , a word in some Indian languages means "Buttock" xD. Pacha's angle is forcibly included in this film.
Overall, even if it's a 2014 film, I know several hindi films from 2014 which, if you watch today , feel really well made but Switch, it's just an outright bad film with below average direction despite using flashy cars and dresses.
