Verdict: Sonakshi Sinha's dabangg performance is the highlight of this action-thriller. If you look up Sonakshi Sinha's filmography, you`ll notice that she`s mostly played the damsel-in-distress, who has to be saved by a Khan, a Devgn, or a Kumar.

Our screen ki Akira is Khan, Kumar and Kapoor rolled into one. She punches and defends better than most khiladis.

Not only does she lose three precious years of her life; she also loses her doting father.

The idea of a Hindi film heroine as an ass-kicking action star feels refreshing yet somehow timely and appropriate. But Akira, directed by AR Murgadoss is no Kill Bill. In fact, its like a Sunny Deol film from the 90s except that it fails to connect emotionally, and the social commentary is lost amidst all the over-plotting. Crucially though, Sonakshi Sinha, who makes an earnest attempt to deliver blows like its second nature to her, just doesnt cut it as a martial arts expert.
