    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 typical Bollywood inspiration

    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.

    Akshay soars high in this inspirational tale

    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.

    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 is back!

    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.
