Sarfira

The film is a reflection of the life of GR Gopinath who was an aviation pioneer of the first low-cost airline in India. The story portrays his life, during which he faces many difficulties but manages to hold his own ideas against rival companies. He had a dream that would change the Indian airlines forever. He went against his investors, believing that there should be an airline easily affordable by the working class. He had a desire of making something which the world would have never seen or thought of. This set him apart from the competition. He tried hard, faced many obstacles but nothing could keep him from becoming who he wanted to be. Apart from all the wealth he raised, he had something much greater to focus on, focus on becoming a common man's voice and a well-known aviation magnet. The movie is extremely inspirational. Moreover, it dives into some of the hidden demons Gopinath faced throughout his journey.

Akshay Kumar, once again, shows his depth as an actor and his ability to carry a film. He deserves national award for this film and his due as an outstanding actor. Akshay Kumar's screen presence is powerful. The beginning scene sets the pace for his dream journey of a common man's airline. Sarfira showcases the torments and larger than life ambition of a genius.

Verdict - A winner all the way. Fly high...

Akshay soars high in this inspirational tale which unfortunately failed to take off at the box office. Sarfira is a great movie with a terrific real life story and a solid performance by Akshay Kumar. Unfortunately another victim of the online trend of hate towards remakes in Bollywood and Akshay Kumar without even considering the quality of the movie. Like most Hindi movie audience I have not watched the national award winning Soorarai Pottru which is most likely a much superior movie. But unlike most Hindi movie audience, I have now watched Sarfira and absolutely loved it.

I think the reason the movie still retains its original DNA and emotional punch is because of the original writer, producer, director and some common cast. Kudos to Sudha Kongara for doing a great job retaining and replicating the movie's core soul. Paresh Rawal is perfect as the filthy rich, influential and arrogant aviation entrepreneur who is pitted against the ambitious protagonist of the movie played very well by Akshay and is his polar opposite. Radhika Madan and Seema Biswas are good in their respective roles. The movie even gets blessed by Suriya who was the producer and lead of the original through a nice Cameo at the end.

These are the kind of movies that deserve an audience. Heartwarming, well made stories that represent the best of society, with good acting, direction and content. Soorarai Pottru means Praise the Brave which doesnt exactly mean Sarfira (Crazy).....something gets lost in translation and just like the title, the movie's success and appreciation doesnt translate well despite its quality. This is a movie definitely worth watching with Akshay delivering a top notch performance like the days of his back to back social dramedies just a few years back. Loved it. 8/10.

It is a motivational movie. Which inspires many dreamers like me to achieve something in life like capt. Gopinath a real legend. Loved this movie.just watch this movie if need inspiration to achieve your goals. In this film you can see that no matter how many or how difficult the problems may be just face them and stick to your goals. And I should say that it is the movie that forced me to review it a 10 star. Best movie of 2024 and Akshay Kumar sir just killed it . And I see this movie as one of the best movie of Akshay Kumar sir and I just to watch this movie once . It is worth it . Thank you.

Can any sane person engage himself in the remake of one of the most loved, celebrated and talked about movie from just about 3.5 years back? Akshay Kumar has downgraded himself from being one of the most popular and successful actors in the 2010s to being the most boring, dull, and collapsing actor! Today we are made to question his sanity because of his reckless script selection, subpar acting, and remakes after remakes! It saddens me every time I think about this drastic downfall of an erstwhile famous, loved, credible and the most engaging comedic actor!

This movie is a frame to frame remake of a movie that even a fetus in its mother's womb knows about! Overall, this is a disorganised jumble of clumsily done action scenes and awkward dialogue. Akshay gives a flat performance devoid of any kind of depth or feeling, as if he is completely bored. It appears like he is being coerced/forced into acting in films, he doesn't enjoy or want it anymore. The supporting cast's roles are either ridiculously overdone or agonisingly one-dimensional.

Due to the terrible visual effects and cinematography, the movie appears to be a low-budget spoof rather than a high-budget Bollywood production. The film's music, which is at best inconsequential and at worst irritating, does little to turn around the falling production.

Akshay Kumar is a sinking ship! His family, agents and advisors shall come forward to save the assets in this man! We love him and it goes utterly hard on us to witness his downfall!

A must watch for any Akshay fan, this movie will make you cry and root for Vir Mhatre even if you have seen the original. Paresh Rawal plays the rich businessman really well. Radhika Madan is good in some parts. So many people don't know the story of Deccan Air and how it sounds impossible to think of an airline ticket in Re.1. The journey of hardship, frustration and hope showcases Akshay's immense range as an actor, something we have missed in this recent films. Seems Biswas as his mother makes an impact even with limited screen time. This move will make you feel for Vir and you want to watch it till the end to see him finally succeed.
