Agni

The movie is about fire fighters dealing with similar instances of fire recently which highlights something fishy.

My interest in the movie arose when I saw Pratik Gandhi's involvement in the trailer. It caught my attention and I was all for the movie.

As we immerse into the movie, it is shown the culprit is coming back to India from Dubai and police catch him. The leading firefighter is not convinced of culprit and says the culprit must be an expertise of fire.

There are some abrupt points like there could be genuine incidents during that period. The police said they understand the incidence and would catch main culprit if there, but Pratiks character insists.

What I most liked about the movie is the portrayed nature of fire fighters. How they act but still don't get credit for their work. Pratik's presence blew life into the movie. An additional point for the "drama" involving firefighters, police department, culprit and politician.

Final Verdict: I liked the movie for the drama revolving around firefighters. I think you would like it too, watch it and know for yourselves.

The movie carries a pure, sincere core, portraying firefighters, celebrating their bravery and sacrifices with a narrative that flows effortlessly. The pairing of Pratik Gandhi and Divyenndu Sharma is unexpectedly satisfying, with Pratik's calm, steady portrayal contrasting beautifully with Divyenndu's fiery, unpredictable energy.

The female leads, Saiyami Kher and Sai Tamhankar, also shine. Saiyami exudes strength and determination, commanding the screen with her presence, while Sai Tamhankar's portrayal brings depth and emotional resonance to the narrative. The entire cast delivers performances that felt grounded and genuine.

Agni is a pure, emotionally resonant film that boosts pride in its heroes while telling their story with a purpose.

Agni makes a commendable attempt at highlighting otherwise ignored firefighters, and brings an audience - otherwise unaware of the challenges faced by firefighters - into this world. That alone makes the movie interesting, but its attempt at stringing together a plot is forced at best and illogical at worst.

The plot centers on a father who leads his firefighting unit but is unappreciated for his work by his son. He encounters a series of mysterious fires across Mumbai, investigating them for arson. The nature of the final reveal to the audience is not very subtle or suspense-inducing, and in the end, it does not make much sense.

The firefighting scenes are done quite well, however, and make it moderately entertaining.

This is probably the first time when the life of a firefighter has been shown in such detailed manner.

The film is only of about 2 hours which is not that lengthy which also means that it doesn't allow you the chance to get bored, that is only if you get hooked to the film in its first 15 minutes, The first 15 minutes is the best part about this film, the drone shots, screenplay, cinematography everything seemed perfect.

Pratik Gandhi and Divyendu put up really good performances, however Divyendu's character could have been played by any other small actor, his role doesn't really make an impact on the story, he's just a side character and he feels like the cop version of a family friendly Munna Bhaiya.

Pratik Gandhi on the other hand has nailed his role, he's managed to nail the Marathi accent even after being a gujrati himself.

This doesn't really mean that the film is perfect, even thought the acting of the main characters are good, the civilians stuck in the fire in buildings have done very poor performances. Some of the scenes in the film where the firefighters save the civilians seems unreal and something which is not possible in real life.

It really looks like they invested more than half their budget in the VFX as towards the end of the film the production quality slowly decreases with decrease in the set quality and the cinematography.

This doesn't mean it's a bad film, ITS ORETTY GOOD.

Worth a Watch.

We extend our gratitude to Excel Entertainment for producing such a captivating film. Pratik Gandhi and Saiyami Kher, alongside the rest of the cast and crew, have delivered exceptional performances. While we often acknowledge the contributions of police officers, doctors, and engineers, we often overlook the bravery of firefighters. This film serves as a powerful reminder of their selfless dedication and the immense risks they undertake to protect lives. It opens our eyes to the challenges they face and the sacrifices they make in the line of duty.

Fire fighters don't get a such benefit and important.
