Con City

Fun premise and a handful of clever scams, but its biggest con is failing to convince you it's smarter than it really is

Con City is bloated with redundant self-serving scenes, try-hard stylisation, and writing choices that it believes are required for a film about financial fraud.

Anna Ben, who has delivered some brilliant performances in Malayalam films, has very little to do in this film.

Director and writer Harish Durairaj's Con City aims to be a film that outsmarts its viewers.

It combines humor, crime, and emotions in the right proportions and benefits greatly from its performances and engaging screenplay.
