Asif is a guy who doesn’t believe in superstitions like ghosts, spirits, etc, and his scientific and logical explanations regarding the superstitions.

After the interval, there is the revenge of the spirit where they tell about the problems, troubles faced by the spirit where the movie tries to spread the message of empowering the transgender community. The motto of the movie is to entertain as well as spread a social message.
As per performance Akshay Kumar, Sharad Kelkar, Rajesh Sharma gave their best and hats off to them and Kiara Advani looked glamorous and also supported Akshay’s character which worked well but somewhere the supporting cast wasn’t enough and dialogues were repeated and dull. The comedy part should be new but the comedy looked the same. The movie didn’t feel horror nor comedy. It felt like drama like a movie. The direction of the film was good but the movie lacked somewhere. Talking about sound effects and music, the songs were nice and went viral too but the sound effect department also didn’t do a great job. Not all Akshay Kumar films go wrong but Laxmii didn’t go as expected. The Cinematography of the movie had several mistakes and looked problematic, which caused a low rating of the film and wasn’t likes by fans and movie lovers. The remake didn’t perform well as the original one did.
