Instead, ‘Genius’ casts poor Utkarsh Sharma as a brilliant IIT student, irresistible to the girls, who goes on to become a RAW operative who cracks codes, sets decoys for hackers, and challenges a ruthless ISI agent (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) with his shooting and his commando skills. Given his son’s physique and facial features – a small frame, with a look that resembles the comic book character, Tintin – it would have been better to write an offbeat story of a child prodigy who uses his intelligence to assist the Police. He has only two 1980s Hindi film types in mind – an action hero or a romantic hero. Director Anil Sharma does not have the imagination to create a memorable character in an unforgettable story that can imprint the image of a new actor on the audience’s mind. The problems are with both father and son. This is yet another film industry son’s launch, but ‘Genius’ is irredeemable.
