Review of movie Agni Devi

×

Rating:1.5/5

Agni Dev (Bobby Simhaa), a devoted cop, has taken charge of investigating the brutal murder of a journalist which happened in broad light. As the case progresses, Agni is asked by his senior, Charles (Bose Venkat) to stop from proceeding further with the investigation. He realises that Charles has been intimidated by Shakuntala Devi (Madhubala), a dreaded politician. How Agni tackles her and nabs the culprit forms the rest of the story. The biggest and only plus of the film is its duration. While Bobby Simhaa looks miscast as a cop in many scenes, Sathish’s one-liners — even in serious scenes — are a big turn off. MS Bhaskar is decent while Ramya Nambeesan appears in a blink-and-miss role. The biggest let down, though, is Madhubala’s portrayal as the politician with grey shades. Though the director tries to come up with a flashback episode to evoke sympathy for her character and an ineffective twist towards the climax, it is not enough to save the role and the film from being a complete mess.
