Akira is no breakthrough for women power in Hindi cinema.
The film certainly has its moments, and Sonakshi does her career no harm by revealing a new facet of herself, but Akira isn't blockbuster material(more)

A watered-down female version of Ghajini
So if Akira stands up to acid-throwing bullies, we are meant to rightfully applaud her, but that applause is quickly tempered by her having to be disciplined: first in a remand home and then in a �mental� asylum. And for a female protagonist to be bloody but unbowed, and be the last woman standing? That will take some doing: this watered-down female version Ghajini is not that film.(more)

Akira is humdrum.
Murugadoss (Ghajini, Holiday -- A Soldier Is Never Off Duty), you can see, started with honourable intentions of trying to impart self-defence lessons to girls. But besides that one noble thought, he couldn't manage a cohesive plot. His cops-and-Akira chase runs out of steam much too early in the film. Post interval, things get so convoluted, you want to kick and punch. Also, the entire onus of cracking the case is given to a heavily-pregnant, Rabia Sultan (Konkona Sen Sharma) modelled on Frances McDormand of the Hollywood thriller Fargo (1996). And despite Konkona's sincerity, she still seems like a caricature because the writing material doesn't support her. Anurag as the baddie and Sonakshi's spirited act redeem the film to some degree. For the rest, Akira is humdrum.(more)

Badass Sonakshi cannot rescue a bad film!
The scene where he instructs his subordinates over a FIR report is akin to a demanding director ordering redrafts of a problematic climax in a script. One for Akira would have helped too.(more)

Sonakshi Sinha's film forgives no one, not even logic
Akira is a dumb commercial potboiler, with a superlative performance by Anurag Kashyap. Your only wish in the end is Sonakshi find material good enough to do justice to her acting abilities. She badly needs to step away from the preset Bollywood templates.(more)

Akira is an entertainer.
Akira will surely manage to get you intrigued right from the start. But there�s too many theatrics to sit through here. Plus, the script as well as the acting performance are not strong enough to make you invested in the lead character, Akira. This film is a good one-time watch, but like we said, if you�re tired of clich�d situations and unneeded drama, you can skip this one. As an overall film for the masses.(more)
