I’m Game Review Finds Dulquer Salmaan Film Survives Inventive Ideas
I’m Game follows Dan after he receives a new limb.
At first, Dan is sad and starts physiotherapy.
He also meets a physician named Dr Isha.
Dan’s return home is celebrated when his new limb seems to work normally.
Soon, a phantom hand begins moving as if it has its own mind.
Dan tries to control it by hiding it, cuffing it and retraining it.
He even talks to the hand, but nothing works.
The hand eventually faces David, a businessman secretly operating a betting mafia.
The hand pulls Dan into a plan for revenge.
Dan, played by Dulquer Salmaan, begins physiotherapy after becoming distraught and depressed.
His new limb appears fully mobile when he returns home, but a phantom hand soon begins acting independently.
The film is most entertaining when Dan reacts with disbelief to the hand’s impulsive movements.
Dan tries hiding, cuffing and retraining the hand, and even talks to it, without success.
Mysskin’s David, a businessman secretly running a betting mafia, becomes the hand’s nemesis and draws Dan into a revenge mission.
