The actors playing the corrupt cops are adequate support but Anurag just takes over with his oh-so-enjoyable creepy cop. But for the love of all things cinema, I hope we see him more often. Sensational! Why have we not seen him on screen before, we will never know.
I have pretty much only one word for Anurag Kashyap. From playing on the femininity and being sensible to engulfing her foes in rage, she is AKIRA!Įven her younger version Mishilekka Arora is strong in short screen time. There seem to be a little struggle as a fighter (Action by Anl Arasu) initially, but she picks up the pace quickly. But her performance in Akira is just marvelous. There has been many mentions the actress was being whimsical with her choices and playing the damsel too often. Vishal-Shekhar have taken steps away from their ‘Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai’ tunes and it works well for what it’s worth. Sreekar Prasad has done a decent job with editing, especially since there is no song and dance routine and most songs playing over story time. Rajasekhar’s cinematography is real in Mumbai and brings out the mood naturally. After all, why would a “girl” fight back? Even if it’s a girl that’s bullying her. The scene where Sonakshi hides for fear of thrashing her college bully’s gang is a stroke of genius. A highly sedated Akira thrashing the bejeezus out of security guards? A well-known in the media case closed for the purpose of avoiding a goonda’s wrath? A little curve ball-ish but when the audience is clapping for Sonakshi to stand up again, you know the cinematic liberties are doing a decent job at entertaining at least.ĪRM’s choice to change the lead is one that has to be applauded since today’s women are strong, both physically and emotionally. Then comes the conveniently placed fantasy. Add in the police brutality that overshadows so many hard working men and women, and you see a slice of life. It is sad to say that the judgement people make regarding individuals with mental health issues is far from compassionate. The story of the wrongfully accused isn’t new but the temperament is a great mix of fantasy and reality. The film proves that as a story, you can remodel a film to suit a different audience and yet stand ground on its own film. How she fights for the truth and to get her life back forms the story.
What started out as a simple act of greed in an opportunistic situation, turns into a whirlwind of lies, cover ups and murder, with Akira falling smack-bang in the middle. And that too in Mumbai city.Įnter ACP Govind Rane (Anurag Kashyap) and gang of corrupt cops. It is only after being released from the remand home that her true litmus test comes. But you don’t get to thrash an influential individual scumbag son without repercussions. The strength she builds is not only physical but emotional as well. However, when she faces the backlash of testifying, her father takes her to self-defense classes and teaches her to be strong. Starting in Jodhpur, Akira is the witness of very cruel, very real crime. It is still very much a commercial film but where it takes away the extra masala you would see in most films, you are given a new facet to reflect today’s women and society itself.Īkira is the story of a simple girl, trying to adjust to her new life in Mumbai until she goes through some pretty extraordinary circumstances. Akira stands out despite being a remake because of the masterstroke in ARM’s additional screenplay and judgement call on changing the gender of its lead actor. Santha Kumar’s original script was written with a male lead, a romance angle and a complex screenplay that blew you away. So what makes Akira different? Well, it’s yet another sample the Bollywood audience is opening up to new films and directors are sitting up and taking note. Vishal and Shekhar set the tunes for the first time with ARM.
