In the flood-gates of newcomers in the Hindi film-industry, Lakshya has emerged as the numero-uno actor to look out for post the release of ‘Kill‘. Read on…
Having watched ‘Kill’ at the theatres, I can easily say that India as well as the Hindi film-industry have got it’s next authentic action-hero in the form of Lakshya who has literally killed it in his debut performance itself. Having said that, it will be pretty soon to attach a specific genre to the actor because he was earlier signed for ‘Dostana 2’ and, later for ‘Bedhadak’ which come from two entirely different genres. We are already sure that he would look appear absolutely believable in playing a NRI character or an obsessive lover as compared to the stoic army-officer he played in ‘Kill’.
Lakshya had his first film release in Dharma Productions’ Kill, an action film, which premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was theatrically released the following year. He played Amrit, a stoic army man who has to fight off dacoits in a running train for which he has garnered positive and generous reviews for his debut act. India has got it’s latest, advanced and able action-hero in the form of Lakshya. You cheer for him when he kicks a** and feel anger when he is beaten down. There is a ‘Bollywood ka hero’ quality to him where he emerges as this dependable human who will save the day with utmost belief and honesty. The same honesty and authenticity in his craft is oh-so-visible in the debutant’s performance. The highlights being his acrobats, stealth modes, the streak for vengeance and the scenes where his strategy comes out so efficiently. Not to forget, his charm when he is not doing action otherwise also leave a heavy impact on the viewers. The whole theatre’s audience kept whistling, hooting and clapping for ‘Commando Amrit’, the character he plays whenever he makes a ‘kill’. Â
What stands unique about Lakshya as a face introduced into the world of movies by Dharma is that he is a pure outsider who hails from Delhi. The actor comes from a humble background and his family is from the nation’s capital. As an outsider, Lakshya has just not got enormous support and love from industry’s insiders but has also received a lot of adulation and words of encouragement from the audience and the credit goes to his craft and in his honesty which is oh-so-visible in his work so far.
A lot of excitement surrounds his upcoming projects and it would be lovely to see the promising actor try new things and continue with his top-form. Lakshya will next star in Stardom, a streaming series created by Aryan Khan.
