Saakini Daakini

A simple story with nice comedy and actions. Both actresses were great and a nice to see such more movies in future that are more women actors than men. This will bring more equality in the entertainment industry too.

The film cinematography is also good but could have been better.

Even though movie is not in Hindi but it was great watching with subtitles and Bollywood should learn how to come with such stories and explore more than making same old masla.

Content should be interesting not boring and at the same time not too much of hype. Which this movie is able to deliver it right.

It's a go.

The movie is a girl power action comedy. Two women from different backgrounds meet at a police training. They resolve their differences and become good friends. They solve a kidnap case like they are james bond. I was under an impression that Indian cinema is slowly distancing itself from one man hitting 100 people. But this one is one woman hiyying 100s of people. A typical action movie with no big surprises.

The first half od the movie is funny and breezes through the eye. The second part is actually the heavy weight. The stunt sequences in the second half were great. Showing all other police officials in a bad light was unwarranted. The reason for the kidnap was novel and was interesting. They could have added more power to villain. That might have helped. The climax lacked that drama.

All in all, we can watch the movie once. Not more than that.

Basically in the Korean one, they had two men training and in this one, there's two women, the rest is pretty much the same other than this being overdramatic. As much as I liked the Korean (original) one, I just couldn't seem to like it a lot due to it not portraying a real life scenario, everything seemed a little too much, that's what I personally feel. The beginning when they were messing with each other could've been shortened a bit and their bonding time could've been extended a little as well. But one that must be mentioned is the effort the actresses took build up the structure of it was truly appreciable.

A really good movie. Really well directed and definitely a treat to watch for those who expect more women centric heroic roles in the Indian cinema. The character development of the two main characters provided a very good coming of age storyline. The issue at hand was also significant yet not necessarily cliche like many movies. The differentiating personalities of the characters were also quite a treat to watch in the movie. The action scenes were well packed incorporated drama, to make a seemingly good direction. Kudos to both the actresses and the director's, writers producers, most definitely enjoyed watching this movie, loved the highlighted theme of women empowerment, something Indian cinema either doesn't show or fail to portray appropriately and would highly recommend.

Saakini Daakini is the story of two girls(more like women) who joins the police academy for completely different reasons and the incidents that happens during their training. Shalini is bold and carefree but has no idea what to do with her life while Daamini, who has some cleanliness disease, is there for her parents who are police officers.

The first half shows the rivalry between these two and tries to be funny by injecting comic actors. Some of the scenes were funny but most scenes felt forced or lame. It was like there's nothing serious happening in a police academy.

Things take a turn once they see a girl getting kidnapped infront of them. While I am all for "girl power", them fighting all those goons weren't convincing enough. Shaalini has a Kabaddi background and is powerful enough to fight off some goons. But Daamini isn't. It should've been set up in a better way.

However, both the actress deserves an applaud for their efforts during the action scenes.

The action choreography and cinematography looks solid but the background score was so bad during the action scenes. I don't understand the need for including the goddess Kali thing. It felt so cringey.

That being said, it's not a bad movie. It can be fun if you could ignore the bad scenes.
