Emraan Hashmi to clash with Hrithik Roshan on 25th Jan 2019

Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi, who was last seen in Baadshaho, is currently busy with his next project, Cheat India. Today, the makers announced the release date of the film. Helmed by screenwriter and director Soumik Sen, the movie has locked 25th January 2019 for its release.

The release date of the film has paved the way for another box office battle in Bollywood as Emraan Hashmi's film is not the only movie that has decided to enter cinemas on 25th January 2019. Superstar Hrithik Roshan's much-awaited biopic, Super 30 is also releasing on the same date.


Cheat India is being bankrolled by T-Series, Ellipsis Entertainment and Emraan Hashmi Films. Super 30, on the other hand, is being produced by Phantom Films. Queen fame Vikas Bahl is helming the biopic.

Talking about Cheat India, Emraan had earlier said, “The edge-of-the-seat drama will take a startling look at the crimes in the Indian education system which has created a parallel ecosystem infested with a mafia of sorts. I am sure that every student and youth will hugely relate to the subject. In an era marked by the success of content alone, I’m excited to be essaying a character which I believe will be a landmark one in my filmography.”

It will be really interesting to see which film wins the box office battle.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
