Akira - Trailer Analysis

Akira by A.R. Murugadoss will see Sonakshi Sinha donning a new avatar - a no nonsense kick-ass vigilante. Will a female action film work in Bollywood? Let's analyze.

A.R. Murugadoss has directed two films Ghajini & Holiday. Ghajini was the first Hindi film to clock 100 crores nett at the box-office. Holiday was a success too - chances are bright Akira will strike at the box-office as well. The biggest plus for the film is that it is a remake of a 2011 South-Indian film, Mouna Guru, which was a sleeper-hit and is considered a cult film now.

Sonakshi Sinha is looking in form & Anurag Kashyap seems to be doing a fine job as an antagonist (at least in the theatrical trailer).

Duration plays a major role in action films and if the pace of the film is crisp & the film is around 2 hours running time, box-office has a winner.
