Agni

The movie carries a pure, sincere core, portraying firefighters, celebrating their bravery and sacrifices with a narrative that flows effortlessly. The pairing of Pratik Gandhi and Divyenndu Sharma is unexpectedly satisfying, with Pratik's calm, steady portrayal contrasting beautifully with Divyenndu's fiery, unpredictable energy.

The female leads, Saiyami Kher and Sai Tamhankar, also shine. Saiyami exudes strength and determination, commanding the screen with her presence, while Sai Tamhankar's portrayal brings depth and emotional resonance to the narrative. The entire cast delivers performances that felt grounded and genuine.

Agni is a pure, emotionally resonant film that boosts pride in its heroes while telling their story with a purpose.

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.

Agni is a cinematic tribute to the brave firefighters who risk their lives daily to protect others, yet often remain in the shadows of public recognition. Directed with a clear intent to highlight their sacrifices, the movie is an emotionally charged and action-packed journey that leaves a lasting impression.

The plot revolves around the lives of a close-knit team of firefighters who navigate the physical dangers and emotional toll of their profession. The film balances heart-pounding rescue sequences with poignant moments of personal sacrifice, showing the human side of these unsung heroes. The intensity of the firefighting scenes is nothing short of breathtaking, immersing the audience in the chaos, danger, and adrenaline of life on the frontlines.

The ensemble cast delivers stellar performances, particularly the lead actor, who portrays a seasoned firefighter grappling with the weight of his duty and the lack of societal acknowledgment. The characters feel real and relatable, their struggles and triumphs leaving a mark on the viewer.

The cinematography deserves special mention for capturing the fiery infernos with stunning realism while also showcasing quieter, heartfelt moments with equal care. The gripping screenplay keeps the audience hooked from start to finish, while the soundtrack subtly underscores the drama without overpowering it.

What makes Agni stand out is its message. It shines a light on the selflessness of firefighters, urging viewers to recognize and appreciate their invaluable contribution to society. By the end, the film leaves you not only entertained but also with a deep sense of gratitude for these everyday heroes.

In conclusion, Agni is a must-watch-gripping, engaging, and deeply moving. It's more than just a movie; it's a heartfelt ode to the courage and humanity of firefighters. Highly recommended!

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.
