Agni

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.

This movie is about firefighters of India, this is the first movie which shows how firefighters keep their life in danger to save others life by going into the inferno.

It also shows that firefighters too die in the incidents, I thought their job is easy because they keep precautions before going into the burning buildings but it is not true their life is also in danger.

Rahul Dholakia has done good job in the movie, this is the second best movie after Raees.

Pratik Gandhi and Divyendu Sharma did good acting and the other crew members also has done good acting.

In conclusion this movie you can watch with your friends and family.

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.

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 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.
