Axone Movie Review :
AXONE REVIEW : A COOKOUT OF CULTURAL CHAOS SERVED WITH HONESTY
Hailing from the Northeastern part of the country, a bunch of friends – Chanbi (Lin Laishram), Upasana (Sayani Gupta), Zorem (Tenzin Dalha), Balamon (Merenla Imsong) and Bendang (Lanuakum Ao) – mutually decide to cook Minam’s favourite dish on her wedding day. Minam is away for an interview and the group is hard-pressed for time. Also, Axone (colloquially pronounced as ‘Akhuni’) ‘stinks real bad’ and they cannot seem to find a place to prepare it. With only a few hours to go before the ceremony begins, these ‘different looking’ friends are confronted with a plethora of unpleasant circumstances, ranging from blatant racism, slut-shaming, internal group conflicts and the unforgiving Delhities.
Critics Rating Pallabi Dey Purkayastha, from Times Of India give 4.0 star out of 5 Star.
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.1 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 1312.
