Akka review: Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte series is stylish but short on substance

Yash Raj's web series Akka, starring Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, is set in fictional Pernuru, a South Indian village ruled by women, with timelines spanning 800 years ago and the 1980s. The review praises its striking visuals and sprawling period settings but finds it short on substance, with gratuitous violence and superfluous stylistic flourishes, pausing after five episodes for a second part.
