Agni

Must watch for those who don't realise the sacrifices of our brave firefighters.

World over firefighters are revered for their daring & honourable work, unfortunately not so revered in India. This movie is the 1st to bring out their fearless spirit and their dedication.

To jump into a burning inferno to save someone else's life is nothing but bravery at its highest degree. The movie is very rounded & enjoyable. It showcases the personal struggles for recognition when all other forces gets easily recognised for any act of bravery. Balancing family life with such a dangerous profession is not everyone's cup of tea. A big Salute to all the firefighters.

This is probably the first time when the life of a firefighter has been shown in such detailed manner.

The film is only of about 2 hours which is not that lengthy which also means that it doesn't allow you the chance to get bored, that is only if you get hooked to the film in its first 15 minutes, The first 15 minutes is the best part about this film, the drone shots, screenplay, cinematography everything seemed perfect.

Pratik Gandhi and Divyendu put up really good performances, however Divyendu's character could have been played by any other small actor, his role doesn't really make an impact on the story, he's just a side character and he feels like the cop version of a family friendly Munna Bhaiya.

Pratik Gandhi on the other hand has nailed his role, he's managed to nail the Marathi accent even after being a gujrati himself.

This doesn't really mean that the film is perfect, even thought the acting of the main characters are good, the civilians stuck in the fire in buildings have done very poor performances. Some of the scenes in the film where the firefighters save the civilians seems unreal and something which is not possible in real life.

It really looks like they invested more than half their budget in the VFX as towards the end of the film the production quality slowly decreases with decrease in the set quality and the cinematography.

This doesn't mean it's a bad film, ITS ORETTY GOOD.

Worth a Watch.

Agniv is a gripping tribute to the unsung heroes of our society-firefighters. The film masterfully intertwines family drama with the intense challenges faced by those who risk their lives daily. Through its compelling storyline, it highlights the glaring disparity in recognition between firefighters and the police, urging society to value their sacrifices equally. The dialogues are sharp and memorable, balancing humor and emotion seamlessly. With a sprinkle of suspense that keeps you guessing and characters you deeply care for, Agniv is a heartfelt, entertaining, and socially relevant watch that leaves a lasting impression.

Agniv goes beyond storytelling, shedding light on a deeper societal issue: the need for a standardized recognition system across professions. It emphasizes that every role, especially those demanding immense effort, time, and life-threatening sacrifices, deserves equitable acknowledgment. Firefighters, like the police, play a crucial part in safeguarding lives, yet their contributions often remain overlooked. The film subtly questions societal hierarchies and urges a reevaluation of how we honor bravery. With its poignant message, Agniv inspires a conversation about fairness, dignity, and the respect every profession inherently deserves.

Agni makes a commendable attempt at highlighting otherwise ignored firefighters, and brings an audience - otherwise unaware of the challenges faced by firefighters - into this world. That alone makes the movie interesting, but its attempt at stringing together a plot is forced at best and illogical at worst.

The plot centers on a father who leads his firefighting unit but is unappreciated for his work by his son. He encounters a series of mysterious fires across Mumbai, investigating them for arson. The nature of the final reveal to the audience is not very subtle or suspense-inducing, and in the end, it does not make much sense.

The firefighting scenes are done quite well, however, and make it moderately entertaining.

Extremely happy to see talent like Prateek Gandhi and Divyendu get such scripts and platform to showcase range of emptions they posses and can deliver with ease.

About the movie, it felt real. Set design, action direction, editting, acting, movie did set itself apart in all these aspects.

It had and impactful story, but a weak antagonist. Movie, it's characters and the world they created has so much potential, that it can be a good web series if scripted.

Impactful performance by both lead actors. They made their screen presence felt. Cinematography is good and director did a good job in setting tone of the delivery.
