The curse of the second half strikes so badly in this film that it almost completely negates the first half.

Rated: 2.5/5

Firstpost

The film may be called Akira, but Akira is the most poorly fleshed out character in the entire story.

From 80s movies tropes like mental hospitals to characters that saunter in and out of the frame without any context,"Akira is a great example of a movie with a timely topic that suffers from outdated treatment.

If you want that adrenaline rush of watching Akira beating baddies and punching holes into the system, go for it.

Rated: 3.5/5

Both Sinha and Kashyap keep the film's momentum going with their arresting screen presence.

Akira isn't an out and out action film. In fact, the makers are too concerned about making it look like a family drama. Lacklustre supporting cast and depthless writing make it even duller.

Rated: 1.5/5
