Story:


Log Out follows Pratyush Dua, a young social media influencer whose life spirals out of control after his phone is stolen. As his digital identity is hijacked, the film explores the fragile line between online fame and personal chaos.


Review:


In an era where our lives are inseparable from our screens, Log Out presents a premise that couldn’t be more timely. The film is about Pratyush Dua (Babil Khan), a young social media influencer whose smartphone is his world so naturally when that is stolen, his life begins to fall apart. With this disruption comes a chilling dive into digital identity theft, the superficiality of online fame, and the emotional toll of living for likes and validation.


Director Amit Golani sets the tone well in the initial act. The film’s opening is brisk, insightful, and well-observed, capturing the manic pace of influencer culture with precision. Through Pratyush’s lens, viewers get a glimpse into the psychological pressures of staying viral—juggling algorithms, audience expectations, and the ever-blurring line between self and screen.


But Log Out struggles to hold that momentum. Once the central conflict is revealed, the narrative stumbles. The screenplay, while rooted in a compelling idea, fails to build tension or meaningful character arcs. Supporting roles lack depth, and the plot begins to feel surface-level, robbing the story of the emotional weight it aims for. Despite the very real concern of mobile impersonation, the treatment feels underdeveloped, making it hard for the viewer to fully invest.


Amidst this, Babil Khan stands tall. His performance is sincere, restrained, and compelling. There’s an unmistakable rawness to his craft that evokes his late father Irrfan Khan’s legacy, yet he brings a fresh vulnerability of his own. There’s an honesty to his portrayal that often cuts through the script’s shortcomings, offering glimpses of a young actor ready to take on more nuanced roles. While the film doesn’t give him enough to work with, Babil makes the most of what he’s handed.


Ultimately, Log Out is a film with its finger on the pulse of contemporary issues but lacks the narrative clarity and emotional depth to make a lasting impression. What could have been a taut, cautionary tale about the perils of digital dependency ends up feeling like a missed opportunity, weighed down by inconsistent writing and a lack of narrative depth.
