After
delivering
a
typical
masala
film,
Tevar
in
2015,
Sonakshi
Sinha
is
all
set
to
enthral
the
audience
with
her
never
seen
before
avatar!
Generally,
when
we
talk
about
high
octane
scenes,
actors
like
Akshay
Kumar,
Salman
Khan
and
other
actors
come
into
our
mind!
We
get
to
see
an
actress
in
an
action
oriented
role
only
very
rarely,
and
it
becomes
a
double
treat
when
the
actress
herself,
plays
the
lead
role!
Luckily,
Sonakshi
has
accepted
this
challenge
with
A
R
Murugadoss's
Akira,
which
is
apparently
a
remake
of
Mouna
Guru!
Now,
whether
Sonakshi
will
be
able
to
successfully
deliver
this
action-packed
flick
or
not,
you
need
to
read
our
review
first!
Director:
A
R
Murugadoss
Cast:
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Anurag
Kashyap,
Konkana
Sen,
Amit
Sadh
and
few
others.
PLOT:
The
story,
initially
revolves
around
the
life
of
Akira
Sharma
(Sonakshi
Sinha).
The
film
introduces
the
little
Akira
as
a
strong
girl,
who
was
molested
at
a
very
young
age
and,
rather
than
fearing
goons,
she
learns
Karate
as
her
father
wants
her
to
be
a
fearless
girl.
An
unfortunate
incident
puts
the
young
Akira
in
trouble
and
the
girl
has
to
serve
a
jail
term
of
three
years.
After
a
few
years,
Akira's
mother
and
brother
convince
her
to
pursue
her
higher
studies
away
from
her
hometown,
Jodhpur.
That's
how
Akira
Sharma
lands
up
in
Mumbai.
For
her,
controlling
anger
is
next
to
impossible;
and
even
there,
she
picks
a
fight
with
her
hostelmates
and
ends
up
in
major
trouble.
Meanwhile,
there
is
one
more
character
in
the
film,
around
the
whom
the
plot
of
the
story
revolves.
It's
the
corrupt
Police
Officer
played
by
Anurag
Kashyap,
who
witnesses
an
accident
along
with
his
Sub-Inspector.
When
he
is
about
to
take
the
victim
to
a
nearby
hospital,
he
comes
across
a
huge
stash
of
cash.
Out
of
greed,
rather
than
helping
the
victim,
he
kills
him
on
the
spot
and
flee
to
Mumbai
with
the
money!
Now,
how
Akira
gets
stuck
in
this
crime
plot
and
what
she
does
to
prove
herself
innocent,
forms
the
crux
of
the
story!
PERFORMANCES:
Let's
take
a
moment
to
appreciate
Sonakshi
Sinha's
guts
to
this
film.
And
let
us
tell
you
that
throughout
the
film,
the
lady
has
shown
full
confidence
in
her
acting
as
she
knows,
she
is
doing
an
amazing
job!
We
totally
loved
the
badass
avatar
of
Sonakshi
in
the
film.
What
amused
us
the
most,
is
how
she
excels
in
different
emotional
frames
like
a
pro!
No
need
to
say
that
her
high-octane
action
sequences
are
the
major
highlights
of
the
film
and
she
sizzles
in
those
frames!
On
the
other
hand,
Anurag
Kashyap
is
quite
impressive
in
the
film
as
well
and
is
showing
just
the
kind
of
menace
that
is
expected
from
a
villain.
Konkana
Sen,
who
shares
very
little
screen
space
has
done
justice
to
her
serious
character
and
it's
always
a
delight
to
see
her
on-screen!
TECHNICALITIES:
While
we
loved
seeing
Sonakshi
Sinha
kicking
some
serious
butts,
we
can't
take
away
the
fact
that
some
scenes
were
just
way
too
exaggerated!
A
R
Murugadoss
is
one
talented
director
and
overall,
he
has
done
a
good
job
in
re-launching
Sonakshi
in
a
rebellious
avatar!
However,
the
plot
of
the
film
fails
to
command
our
interest
at
a
stretch.
Amidst
the
shabbily
cut
scenes,
the
overdone
actions
and
violence,
we
feel
that
the
editing
team
too,
lacked
crispiness
or
they
didn't
do
their
homework
properly!
Apart
from
Anurag
Kashyap,
songs
of
the
film
also
play
the
villain
of
the
film!
No
matter
how
serious
the
storyline
is,
audiences
want
a
refreshment
and
here,
the
songs
take
a
backseat.
VERDICT:
No
matter
whether
you
are
a
Sonakshi
Sinha
fan
or
not,
we
suggest
you
to
watch
Akira,
only
and
only
for
her
career
best
performance!
