Akelli review: Nushrratt Bharuccha is outstanding in survival drama that doesn't always stick to logic

A teenage, helpless girl is standing in the middle of the road, tied up with explosives on her chest. Her mother stands at a distance, crying for help. The bomb squad is trying to diffuse the time bomb and save her. A minute later, we hear a loud explosion, with dust and fire engulfing the surroundings. Everyone standing nearby runs for their life. In that spine-chilling moment, you know that Nushrrat Bharuccha-starrer Akelli is not going to be an easy watch. 

Inspired by the true story of a Middle Eastern woman, Akelli is a story of grit, conviction and determination. Also, it depicts the atrocities women face at the hands of terrorist organization ISIS. Director Pranay Meshram shows blood and gore with a clear intention to evoke shock value while also leaving an impact. Akelli is shocking and scary, but rarely convincing.

Bollywood's biggest flop lost Rs 225 crore, director went underground; it's not Shamshera, Laal Singh Chaddha, Zero

The risk with making expensive films is that it becomes even tougher to recover costs. That is why even after Brahmastra earned Rs 400 crore worldwide, many still were reluctant to call it a hit as its production budget was huge. For this reason, many of the most expensive Indian films ever made are box office disappointments and the biggest flop in the hisory of Indian cinema has lost a whopping Rs 225 crore.

The film that has lost the most amount of money at the box office in India is Adipurush. Made on a reported budget of Rs 550 crore, Adipurush made Rs 288 crore net in India, and another reported Rs 35-38 crore net overseas. This gives the film a worldwide net haul of around Rs 325 crore, which means the film had a net loss of an astounding Rs 225 crore. The film’s worldwide gross earning is higher (just over Rs 350 crore) but that figure includes taxes as well.
