Karachi(Cliff News)The movie, saw a slight growth in the business towards the end of the evening and opened with Rs 5. 15 crore at the box office on September 2. Day two, Saturday seems to be a little better for the film though and managed to mint Rs 5.30 crore.Sonakshi, who claimed that the film came in her career at the right time, is seen in an out and out action avatar for the first time on screen. The fact that there are no other major films releasing this weekend, this could be an advantage for Akira.Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review, “Having a young woman kick serious butt should be a matter of joy: what’s not to like about strong female characters in male-dominated mainstream cinema? But what do you do if you are saddled with the most craven plot this side of theVindhyas, which gives you wings, and then sets about clipping them? Sonakshi Sinha does a good job working the limitations of her role, but she alone cannot help this film from falling into a sinkhole.”Directed by A R Murugadoss, Akira portrays Sonakshi in a never-seen-before role. Distribution Club has released the movie across Pakistan.
