Akku-the movie

My review : Akku

Nice movie. Different attempt by the director.

Story : Hero and his lover elopes but get caught by the girl's brother who is a dreaded terrorist. He put a bomb in the hero's shoes such that when he stops running it will explode with devastating consequences as it is made of uranium.

This portion is just the first 10 minutes of the film. Rest of the movie is how police and bomb squad try to save hero and the city and nab the terrorist.

One should congratulate the director for choosing such a daring subject , which runs for just 90 minutes. The main drawback is the limitation of the budget .Director has struggled very hard to give a decent treatment to his subject within the confines a shoe-string budget ,which shows on screen.

Though acting sometimes seem amateurish , very low production quality and poor music ,when one comes out of theatre one want to congratulate the director for his out of box thinking and trying something different .

Bottom line is when we see some so called big directors make routine crappy masala movies at lofty budget which don't seem to be justified , one is amazed by the resolve shown by this young director to be individualistic and work with in the limitations of what he is given with. For this kudos to MAMANI -director of AKKU.
