Agni

This movie is a tribute to all the firefighters who bet on their lives to save other people in the face of blazing fire. These people should be treated as heroes, and they deserve it. However, they are treated as cheap labor in the Indian context. These people are never lauded for their work, despite their work being equally challenging and life-threatening.

The makers try to showcase the lives of the firefighters in the city of Mumbai. This film highlights the challenges faced by them, like no or less insurance, almost zero pension and absolutely zero applaud. However life threatening their activity be, people of other professions are praised and given credit. The VFX fire scenes are very good and seem real. I would recommend everyone to watch this movie as a tribute to these heroes.

The movie is about fire fighters dealing with similar instances of fire recently which highlights something fishy.

My interest in the movie arose when I saw Pratik Gandhi's involvement in the trailer. It caught my attention and I was all for the movie.

As we immerse into the movie, it is shown the culprit is coming back to India from Dubai and police catch him. The leading firefighter is not convinced of culprit and says the culprit must be an expertise of fire.

There are some abrupt points like there could be genuine incidents during that period. The police said they understand the incidence and would catch main culprit if there, but Pratiks character insists.

What I most liked about the movie is the portrayed nature of fire fighters. How they act but still don't get credit for their work. Pratik's presence blew life into the movie. An additional point for the "drama" involving firefighters, police department, culprit and politician.

Final Verdict: I liked the movie for the drama revolving around firefighters. I think you would like it too, watch it and know for yourselves.

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.

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.

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.
