    An Emotional Rollercoaster with Stellar Performances!

    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.

    Akshay's finest performance in recent times!

    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!

    A noteworthy watch.

    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...
    8MuviFan73

    Good: wins! The wicked: tastes its own medicine.

    Tone, Script & Story: The revolutionary story of Flight Company Deccan Air of how they bought flight services to poor people. Due to their venture many people were able to travel via air route as fares were affordable with tickets as cheap as Rupee 1.

    What a fantastic cinema where determination wins despite of the sick nature of competition. It was all right as we approached end and the sick got the taste of its own medicine.

    I have always wanted India to be a country where standard of living is at least enough to afford inter country air travel with ease. Thus I liked the movie. I however am surprised such startup was nowhere in news.

    There were two instances that peaked my emotions, one when the wife supports him financially and other when villagers were all pouring there love in form of finances. Yes the poor people.

    The sad thing is in reality Air Deccan is closed. Maybe that's why movie dint work at box office.

    Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The sarfira man, the charming wife, air force, its officers, sky, planes, etc are all captured well.

    Music: Music was average. Acting: Acting was good. You hate Paresh, You love Sarfira, You like the wife, Anil and Prakash shine along with others.

    Final Verdict: Such an important incidence I don't know why was out of news. No problem, now it's out. Do watch it.
