Everything that is wrong with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmii

Directed by Raghava Lawrence, Laxmii is not only boring and outdated it is also problematic, perpetuating stereotypes against the trans community despite its promises to break it.

What is common in every recent Akshay Kumar film? Besides catering to the populist social issues of Indian society, which are mostly driven by a Hindu hyper-nationalistic agenda of India’s ruling party, every movie from his recent filmography employs the ‘male saviour’ character troupe.
