Akka review: Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte lead a matriarchal crime saga

Yash Raj Films' series Akka, starring Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, centres on an 800-year-old sisterhood that controls the criminal underworld and gold trade in the fictional South Indian region of Perunuru. The show flips crime-saga tropes, suggesting women holding absolute power can mirror men, though its pulpy, mass-market dialogue often dilutes the subversion it aims for.
