Akira

This is a story of the relentless persecution of a woman, daring to break out of the stereotypical mold, by a failed social system which is both corrupt and broken. Hard-hitting and depressing - mainstream Bollywood seldom gets this realistic. Yet, this is such an ordinary, everyday story - being played out again and again all around us. In Indian society, a young girl who dares to question the system, a girl who dares to protest - is an anachronism. She is either disciplined and that rare spark of life is extinguished even before it is properly lit. Or she gets lucky and finds a supporter, like Akira did in her father. In reality it is more of a misfortune. Apart from that unusual mentor the unusual woman remains utterly alone all through her life. In fact, the society raises even steeper barriers in her path overcompensating for that one supportive mentor whether or not s/he continues to be around. In the end, the lone struggle of the young woman invariably runs out of options and we are once again left saddened with the depressing realisation that it is not easy to be a woman even in the twenty-first century.

It a brilliant movie guys. I hardly write a review. When i saw the trailer, i was thrilled and was expecting a good blockbuster movie. But then reviews went out and it was very low. And I never liked Sonakshi so I decided not to watch. Also i only read what is this movie about : action, fight scene, college girl etc (and that too in Bollywood) so I completely made mind that i won't be spending tims watching this movie.

But today when there was nothing to watch on TV, I watched for few minutes. That accident scene and what Police officer decided there made me curious and I immediately went to online platform to see it completely. Never for a moment i thought to take a break. Even the fight scene were performed very well. Yeah some unbelievable coincidences are there but come on guys, that is purely fine. But such kind of incidents can surely happen with anyone. Yes. But coming out of those situations depends on who you are, who is behind your back for support etc.

The acting is fantastic. Anurag, Konkana and all other police officers played their roles very well. Yes, Sonakshi killed it in this role..Lovely.

The ending made my heart heavy when she talks to the children in that sign language. Go watch it friends.

It's a film about girls harassment on the way to school and upto what level people can suffer for this dirty act. The film starts with the story of a young daughter who is the witness of acid attack to a girl on the street while going to school. During interrogation by the police only she came forward to be the witness. After that her life started being miserable by the friends of the criminal. Through the motivation by her father she learned martial art to save herself. During saving herself from the same kind of acidic attack accidentally the boy who attacked her, burnt his face by acid. The prosecution starts and Akira suffered her 3 years student life in the juvenile rehabilitation home. After releasing from home it is showed that her father passed away & her only brother not keeping any contact with the family as family not accepted her love and he settled with her love in the Mumbai after marriage. But while he was unable to bring up his newly born child he called her mother repeatedly to come Mumbai and stay with him. Akira was reluctant to go to Mumbai and told her mother that the boy who never called up last few years suddenly calling themselves only to use his mother as servant. But her brother came to their village and both of her brother & mother convinced Akira through the college principal that studying in Mumbai will be better for her academic career. She shifted to the college hostel and concentrated on her studies. The ACP and few police officers in the Mumbai police branch showed highly corrupted and for the stealing habit of one of the students in the college where Akira was studying, again brought her life in danger. Inspite of her wish to concentrate on the studies by the coincidence and nature Akira went through the life like hell. The character Akira shown different compared to common girls and this kind of nature we can find in our society very rare. The trauma agony suffering she went through should be felt by the common audience. The acting of Anurag Kashyap is outstanding in the centre role as ACP Mumbai police branch and found flawless. Very few in the film industry has the caliber to act at this level and I can't think any otherone in the this role right now. All other actors and actresses maintained their quality. Good fight sequence. All over a good film to see.

i really liked the movie.mind blowing performance by sonakshi sinha and anurag kashyap was too brilliant in the role.the people who giving low stars did not really understand these type of movies.i really want you to see this movie in theatre because of extraordinary direction,acting & story.this movie gave me goosebumps and i am sure it will do same with you.sonakshi really fits in the role very well.i also think that this is best debut actor movie for anurag kashyap.these type of movies rise our country's reputation.so plz support these type of movies.its my humble request.its the kind of movie that will give you great feeling.it lets you feel the emotions,family drama and true face of corrupt police officers.a really must watch movie of 2016.10/10 stars from me.

I don't care if the movie is remake of a South Indian masterpiece. I never watched that South Indian movie. So I can't relate this movie with that original. This movie, however, I found very good overall, but it's ending failed to deliver a good impact. Maybe because the protagonist here was a woman instead of a man. And after what she went through the entire movie such a passive ending with mostly negativity for her made it extremely unsatisfactory. The movie till the ending was a extremely good, however. And I'm really impressed by how Sonakshi Senha played her role. Anurag Kashyap also did extremely well, and so did the rest of the cast. Action sequences and choreography was also marvelous. If the ending was handled properly this could have become a masterpiece, and one of the best Indian movie involving a female protagonist. Sadly, the ending ruined the movie for which I cannot rate it too highly.
