Laxmii Bomb

Bollywood’s latest fad is to course correct its own history of ignorance. Laxmii is the latest casualty of this impetus to display big-ticket morality. The tedious nature of Laxmii’s politics is draining. Some of the film’s moral lecturing is done with the half-heartedness of a Covid mask hanging below the chin. The writing is bizarre, especially when it concerns itself with pseudo-religious ideas.
