Laxmii Movie Review: Kaafi Tacky

This film just about starts with the scene of a witch-hunt in Haryana. By which i do not mean the type of witch-hunt that plays on national news on Indian TV. Which i assume is that the ancient act of banishing women, by ascribing them characteristics of a witch — with supernatural powers that would hurt society. Call them chudail, if you’ll .

God knows if this practice remains prevalent. Its metaphorical equivalent certainly is. Akshay Kumar walks into the important witch-hunt scene, to save lots of a woman from the clutches of a fake tantric. Here’s the thing though.

Akshay plays a member of a rationalists’ association during this movie that’s altogether obscurantist naturally — feeding fully into the very fact that there’s indeed a ghost
Frankly all supernatural movies expect audiences to believe the paranormal. So one mustn’t be shocked thereon account. This one may be a remake of a Tamil film (presuming a hit) called Kanchana (2011), that was a sequel by an equivalent director (Raghava Lawrence) of a movie called Muni. Haven’t seen either. Honestly, watching this remake, doesn’t appear to be have missed much.
I know everyone usually keeps happening about how the first was far better . Well this is often alleged to be a horror-comedy, that does not scare you for even a second. and admittedly there’s nothing to laugh over/about, albeit you think about that, including a scene, any of the characters were alleged to be funny.

he’s the seedhe-saadhe Akshay, then the bigot baap starts to simply accept him in any case . What does it need to do with the remainder of the movie? Nothing.

Or that this film shines a light-weight on the plight of a transgender protagonist, which is what Akshay transforms into — a reason some may are excited about this subject, within the first place. This whole back-story plays out sort of a totally unrelated half hour approximately of a movie , within the film, with nothing really adding up.
