Akira is a movie that had the potential to be great. It is directed by A.R. Murugadoss who has previously directed movies like Ghajini and Holiday. It stars Sonakshi Sinha as a fearless young woman, Anurag Kashyap is a generic bad cop and Konkana Sen Sharma as Frances McDormand’s character from 1996’s Fargo (really). The performances in this movie are above average. Sonashi Sinha impresses in the action scenes. Anurag Kashyap is convincing as the bad guy. Konkana Sen Sharma has given a lazy performance. The movie has a female action hero/heroine and can be watched just for that. Apart from that there’s nothing good in the movie. The story is stupid..yes, stupid. The first half is entertaining but the second half looks like it’s been inspired by the second half of Tere Naam. It’s first half is a one-time watch. It’s second half should not exist.
