Sarfira

Win triumph over evil a good inspirational movie with some really great moments supported by good acting and you will get goose bumps for sure this is what these movies do good they make you think that there is so much more t achieve in this small life they make you resonate with them reminded me of another great movie '12th fail' not to say it was that good but yeah it had similar elements But it was surely not without its flaws. Thing holding it back was the obsession from Bollywood to assume it's audience is dumb and just show the bright side of the picture I mean hardly anyone questions anything about veer's plan apart from his beliefs,courage etc. Nothing much about the logistics,financial aspect and they focused on love aspect a bit too much for my liking and it was Okish at best

FAVOURITE MOMENT :: definitely seeing everyone one smile in flight with a beautiful song in the background FAVOURITE CHARACTER :: Not much to choose from so yeah veer.

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...

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.

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!
