Laxmii Movie Review: Story and Performances
The film follows the story of Asif (Akshay Kumar), a man who is possessed by the ghost of a transgender woman named Laxmii. Asif and his family are haunted by the vengeful spirit of Laxmii, who was wronged in her past life and seeks revenge against those who have wronged her. Asif must confront the ghost and unravel the mystery behind her past in order to put her soul to rest.
One of the highlights of the film is Akshay Kumar's performance as Asif/Laxmii. Kumar showcases his range as an actor by playing a character who is possessed by a transgender ghost. He captures both the playful and serious aspects of the character and his portrayal of Laxmii is both entertaining and heartfelt.
The film's supporting cast is also impressive, with Sharad Kelkar giving a standout performance as Laxmii's vengeful spirit. Kiara Advani, who plays Asif's wife, also delivers a strong performance, adding depth and emotional resonance to the film.
The film's direction and screenplay are also noteworthy. Raghava Lawrence, who also directed the Tamil original, brings his unique blend of horror and comedy to the Hindi version. The film manages to balance scares and laughs but failed to be considered entertaining and engaging. The screenplay is poorly-written, but a few twists and turns that keep the audience engaged for some time.
The film's production values are also top-notch, with impressive visual effects and a haunting soundtrack that adds to the overall atmosphere of the film. The film's cinematography and set design are also noteworthy, with the film's use of color and lighting helping to create a sense of dread and suspense.
Some audiences praised the film for its entertaining blend of horror and comedy, while others criticized it for its portrayal of transgender individuals. The film's portrayal of Laxmii as a vengeful ghost who seeks revenge against those who wronged her has been criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes about the transgender community.
Akshay Kumar's performance as Asif/Laxmii is a standout, but the film's supporting cast failed to deliver strong performances. The film's direction and screenplay are not up to the mark, but the production values are top-notch.
Akshay Kumar's upcoming movies are:
- Sooryavanshi
- Bell Bottom
- Prithviraj
- Atrangi Re
- Bachchan Pandey
- Ram Setu
