"Akira" is an action drama film, which is the remake of Tamil film "Mouna Guru." AR Murugadoss has penned screenplay for this Hindi remake. The original movie is male-centric, but the director has made its Bollywood version a female-oriented film. He has made few other changes to suit the taste of the Hindi audience.

The movie revolves around the story of a thoughtful college girl named Akira Sharma, who is engrossed in her studies. She finds himself at the wrong place, wrong time, at every single moment. An isolated incident lands her in a problem with police officers. How she single-handedly takes on four corrupt police officers in a bid to prove her innocence forms the crux of the story.

As protagonist, Sonakshi Sinha has delivered a sterling performance in "Akira" and it's her career best acting, which is the main highlight of the film. She stuns with her stunts. Akshay Kumar and Raai Laxmi have made cameo appearance, which are among the big attractions of the film. Konkona Sen Sharma, Anurag Kashyap, Teena Singh, Amit Sadh, Urmila Mahanta and Atul Kulkarni are also assets of the movie, say the audience.

Besides direction and editing, AR Murugadoss has jointly produced "Akira" with Fox Star Studios and he has made sure that the film has superb production values. John Stewart Eduri's background Score, RD Rajasekhar's cinematography, brilliant choreography of action scenes and Karan Singh Rathore's dialogue are the big attractions on the technical front, add the audience.

We bring you some viewers' verdict on the film shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of the "Akira" movie review by audience:

#Akira it was good, we don't see this kind of movies a lot in bollywood , remind me of Mardani. A film with Important message to the girls. #Akira it was really nice to see Sonakshi in role which requires acting, but Anurag stole the show Konkona was good

1st half brilliant, gripping! 2nd half sadly equally dull & disappointing with an underwhelming end! Could have been so much better #Akira. Wish for once save the country drama was cut off! Wanted more from this strong character which @sonakshisinha plays beautifully! #Akira. Great achievement though for @sonakshisinha making #Akira such a powerful & believable character which calls for a no compromise ending!

While it started out brilliantly #Akira ended with a disappointing third act. @sonakshisinha was excellent though . #Akira @anuragkashyap72 was equally brilliant as the main villain. @ARMurugadoss ensures the action and the pace keeps you engaged. #Akira is a ground breaking film in Bollywood. No major male lead and a transgender sidekick for the heroine are huge positives

Woah! @sonakshisinha is undeterred in packing these punches. Watch out for the cafeteria scene #Akira. It's half time. Story line and gritty dialogues keep you invested throughout. #Akira Background score is loud, at times too loud but it's only adding to the weight of the story. #Akira Surprising to see that #AnuragKashyap has more screen time than #SonakshiSinha. And well, definitely for the better
