Saregama India Ltd., UFO Production, 028 Films and Yoodlee Films’ Agra (A) is the story of a young man who is frustrated because of lack of a girl in his life.
Guru (Mohit Agarwal) lives with his mother (Vibha Chibber) in a tiny house. His father (Rahul Roy) lives on the floor above the house in which he lives, with his (father’s) second wife (Sonal Jha). Guru is obsessed with sex, and his favourite pastime is to chat with girls online. His reasons for being frustrated in life are several — he doesn’t have a girlfriend/wife, he lives in a tiny house and wonders how he will have sex after marriage, etc. Finally, Guru meets a girl, Priti (Priyanka Bose), who runs an internet cafe. They get intimate on a number of occasions but Guru is aware that he will not be able to get physical with her if he marries her, because he lives in a small house admeasuring only 300 sq. ft. What happens thereafter?
Kanu Behl and Atika Chohan have written a story which is quite interesting in parts. It underlines the fact that everybody needs space. But the duo’s screenplay is not consistent. Some portions keep the audience engaged but there are other portions which are dull. Kanu Behl and Atika Chohan’s dialogues are so-so.
Mohit Agarwal is very good as the frustrated young man, Guru. Rahul Roy is okay as Guru’s father, Prakash. Vibha Chibber performs ably as Guru’s mother. Sonal Jha is alright as Prakash’s second wife. Aanchal Goswami is okay as Guru’s cousin, Chhavi. Priyanka Bose plays the handicapped Priti with conviction. Ruhani Sharma is average as Mala. Devas Dixit is not impressive as Sundar. Babla Kochar barely passes muster as builder Ashoke. Adhiraj Sharma (as Pulkit), Gayatri (as Babita), Sudhir Gulyani (as Dr. Lovinder), Manoj Sharma (as Devender), Charu (as the lusty girl), Rajesh Agarwal (as Dr. Khanna) and the others lend routine support.
Kanu Behl’s direction is not up to the mark. Karan Gour’s background music is ordinary. Saurabh Monga’s cinematography is alright. R.P. Yadav’s action and stunt scenes should’ve been more thrilling. Parul Sondh’s production designing, and Bhaskar Gupta’s art direction are okay. Editing (by Nitesh Bhatia and Samarth Dixit) ought to have been sharper.
On the whole, Agra has some good portions but its commercial prospects are dull.
Released on 14-11-’25 at Inox Malad (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Mantra Luminosity. Publicity & opening: weak. …….Also released all over. Opening was poor everywhere.
