Akira Review: Anurag's Cop Act, Sonakshi's Action Sequences Are Bang On
Will Sonakshi Sinha set a bench mark for other leading ladies to take up action-packed thriller?

Bollywood is ready to experience a full-fledged action film relying only solely on one woman's shoulder this week. Directed by AR Murugadoss, Akira stars Sonakshi Sinha, Konkona Sen Sharma and Anurag Kashyap in pivotal roles.

The promos have been showcasing Akira as an out-and-out action film. The film sees Sonakshi as Akira Sharma, a girl who comes to Mumbai from Jodhpur, where she gets into a tiff with the goons of a college, in which she enrolls. Considering the fact that the Sonakshi and Murugadoss have previously worked together in Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty and that it's a remake of Santha Kumar-directed Tamil film Mouna Guru, the expectations are really high.

Will this film be able to deliver what it has been promising? Will Sonakshi Sinha set a bench mark for other leading ladies to take up action-packed thriller? Will the story line be impressive enough? Kriti Tulsiani from News18.com is inside the theater to find out.
