Plot
Set against a backdrop of gripping suspense and high-stakes action, Identity takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through a world where betrayal and justice collide.
This psychological thriller unravels the sinister mystery of Amar Felix’s murder — a blackmailer with a dark past. As CI Allen Jacob investigates Alisha, an eyewitness suffering from face blindness, the trail leads to Haran Shankar, a karate instructor harbouring a vengeful secret.
But the story doesn’t end there!
As Haran and Alisha dig deeper, they uncover a shocking truth. The tension peaks in a breathtaking mid-air showdown when Haran, an undercover NSG commando and Sky Marshal, takes matters into his own hands to bring Allen’s reign of terror to an end.
