Sarfira

On leaving the Indian Air Force after a short engagement a young man Vir ( Akshay Kumar) from a rural area in India dreams of establishing a low cost airline for the millions of India who cannot afford air travel. Laughed at by his parents, relatives and friends he continues planning nevertheless. His parents also want him get married to Rani (Radhika Madan) who is equally enthusiastic to start a bakery and be self sufficient. The marriage does take place and both get busy in their respective endeavors. Vir faces many hurdles, upsets, and challenges in setting up the Airline but each time he springs back due to his resilient nature and "never say die" attitude.

This is a remake of a Tamil movie and is based on true events as described in a book on the life of Captain Gopinath. Director Sudha Kongara has made a riveting movie and despite a comparatively long runtime of 155 minutes I did not find it dragging anywhere though the emotional scenes seem overstretched and cringy at places. Akshay carries the movie throughout and has an opportunity to showcase various shades of the character he plays. Audiences will identify with the resolve, the determination, the fortitude and the tenacity of his on screen character. Radhika impresses as the sprightly and spunky lass displaying woman empowerment. Paresh Rawal plays the rich, pompous and scheming Airline boss out to place hurdles in Akshay's path.

Sarfira stands out one of those rare instances in biographical drama space, where they tend to skillfully weave familial dynamics into the fabric of protagonist's aspirational journey.

The writing not only highlights the aspirations and lifelong goals of our central character but also places significant emphasis on the bonds he nurtures with those dear to him.

Every bit of emotion; be it love, resentment, or reconciliation are portrayed with sincerity and compassion.

The latter segments of the film may come off as elongated, but the underlying motivation is showcased with much efficiency nonetheless!

It has been quite some time since I witnessed Akshay Kumar immerse himself so fully into a role; his commitment to the character was palpable and shined through in his notable performance!

A special mention goes to Radhikka Madan as well, whose portrayal of a strong independent woman beautifully complemented Akshay's sincere efforts. Loved her here!

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!

Sarfira is an emotional rollercoaster that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Akshay Kumar's portrayal of Vir Mhatre is both inspiring and heartfelt. His interactions with his on-screen parents, played by Paresh Rawal and Seema Biswas, are especially moving. The film beautifully captures the essence of determination and the pursuit of dreams. The climax is unforgettable, making you cry and leaving you inspired. Paresh Rawal's performance adds a perfect balance of humor and gravitas. Radhika Madan also delivers a remarkable performance as Rani. This film is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of family support in achieving one's dreams. A must-watch for anyone who loves a good drama film filled with drama, emotion, and inspiration.
