Good idea lost in the noise

A lot of fun.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It is a shame that this movie has 5.6 out of 10 on iMDb. Such a gripping story highlighting the amorality extent in our society and how somebody can become a victim in such circumstances. The action sequences are quite amazing, something missing in our movies or overly exaggerated like in Salman Khan movies.

This is a story of the relentless persecution of a woman, daring to break out of the stereotypical mold, by a failed social system which is both corrupt and broken. Hard-hitting and depressing - mainstream Bollywood seldom gets this realistic. Yet, this is such an ordinary, everyday story - being played out again and again all around us. In Indian society, a young girl who dares to question the system, a girl who dares to protest - is an anachronism. She is either disciplined and that rare spark of life is extinguished even before it is properly lit. Or she gets lucky and finds a supporter, like Akira did in her father. In reality it is more of a misfortune. Apart from that unusual mentor the unusual woman remains utterly alone all through her life. In fact, the society raises even steeper barriers in her path overcompensating for that one supportive mentor whether or not s/he continues to be around. In the end, the lone struggle of the young woman invariably runs out of options and we are once again left saddened with the depressing realisation that it is not easy to be a woman even in the twenty-first century.

Even though being a remake of a super hit movie, Akira, fails to leave a mark. The movie plot in itself is pretty weak and feels stretched at the wrong places. The background score isn't remarkable too. The loopholes of the plot provided to make Sonakshi look like a Superwoman is quite indigestible. Anurag Kashyap has done a good job as ACP but rest of the cast deserves some serious acting classes. An action thriller movie, where the stunts performed are not even convincing. Sonakshi's portrayal of Akira seems boring and as mentioned lacks the originality in action sequences. The effects are so bad that while injecting Sonakshi with sedatives the needle can be seen.Do yourself a favor and avoid watching this movie.

Movie had nothing new to offer. The pacing was at its worst. Acting was good by Anurag kashyap and sonakshi. But other than this there is not much to appreciate. What's good.. 1. Acting - Anurag and sonakshi. 2. 1st half of the movie. 3. Dialogues - mainly Anurag kashyap's. 4. No extra song or romantic angle. 5. Konkarna sen 's cameo. What's bad. 1.Jumbled Second half. 2. One dimensional character. 3. Slow Pacing. 4.Preachy narration. I didn't expected this from A.r. murgadoss. But happy with performance of sonakshi. At one point in the movie you are shocked how family members of sonakshi send her to mental hospital without any reason. On the whole a disappointing meal.
