I dont know why certain people are downvoting this movie for lack of "science and logicality". Its a supernatural movie, did you expect it to go by science and logic in the first place ?? I mean, come on !!
I dont like comparing movies with different story lines but if you insist on doing so, then its better than Stree and has a better storyline than Bhool Bhulaiya. Scriptwise, Bhool Bhulaiya outdoes Laxmii, but thats about it.
To the movies credit, both Akshay Kumar and Sharad Kelkar have nailed the physical and emotional attributes of playing a transgender. You really connect to the pain of being a transgender in todays world and thats purely because of Sharad Kelkar's fantastic acting. Its a must watch as the pain of transgenders needs to reach the masala loving audiences.
Its not too spooky and all but the screen keeps you hooked for the duration of the movie. Few scenes involving the over scared saas bahu screaming could have been edited better keeping in mind its not a south Indian audience you are catering to. But thats a minuscule part of the movie and certainly not worthy of the flak its getting.
Music is not great apart from the Burjkhalifa video and the Bum Bhole kinnar dance, which I must say is one of Akshay's most powerful dance performances to date, keeping in mind the fact that all the dancers were in sarees.
Movie critics these days seem to be compelled to write negative reviews about every other movie that releases and should not be taken seriously. Its a family entertainer and every member of the family is different
Thankfully Laxmii caters to every possible type of audience you may find in a family. So ignore the critics, go ahead and watch this entertaining movie on a TV screen with your family with your popcorn. Happy Diwali ! Bum Bum Bhole
