Sarfira Movie Review: Akshay Kumar Soars in His 150th Film, an Inspirational and Moving Biopic

Akshay Kumar’s landmark 150th film, Sarfira, directed by Sudha Kongara, is a compelling biopic that brings to life the inspirational story of Vir Jagannath Mhatre. Adapted from GR Gopinath’s memoir Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey and a remake of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (2020), the movie stands out with its emotive storytelling and Kumar’s stellar performance.

Sarfira tells the story of Vir Jagannath Mhatre (Akshay Kumar), a middle-class man from a small village in Maharashtra with a dream of launching a low-cost airline to break cost and caste barriers. Despite his father’s (a teacher who adheres to non-violence) opposing beliefs, Vir embarks on a journey filled with challenges and setbacks. His determination to change the aviation industry pits him against aviation tycoon Paresh Goswami (Paresh Rawal), who ridicules and ultimately becomes his nemesis.

The film goes beyond the typical rags-to-riches narrative, exploring themes of resilience, the fight against systemic corruption, power dynamics, and societal barriers. Vir’s journey is marked by numerous obstacles, including betrayal, red tape, and class divide, all of which he confronts with unwavering determination.

Akshay Kumar delivers a powerful performance, portraying a range of emotions with sincerity and depth. His portrayal of Vir’s struggles and triumphs is both moving and inspiring. Kumar’s physicality and commitment to the role are evident, particularly in the training sequences at the air force camp.

Radhikka Madan, playing Vir’s ambitious and supportive wife Rani, brings charm and strength to her role. The chemistry between Kumar and Madan is endearing, and their shared passion for defying societal norms adds depth to their relationship.

Paresh Rawal’s portrayal of the villainous Paresh Goswami, though less impactful, provides a counterbalance to Kumar’s character. The supporting cast, including Prakash Belawadi, Seema Biswas, R. Sarathkumar, and Anil Charanjeett, contribute heartwarming performances despite their limited screen time.

The screenplay, co-written by Kongara and Shalini Ushadevi, is both engaging and complex. The frequent shifts between various timelines can be confusing, but Kumar’s changing looks help in distinguishing the sequences. Pooja Tolani’s dialogues are effective, blending emotion and humor seamlessly.

Sarfira maintains a consistent pace, balancing moments of happiness, sadness, and pride. The film’s treatment and execution set it apart from other inspirational stories, keeping the audience invested throughout its runtime.

Sarfira is a testament to Akshay Kumar’s versatility and enduring appeal as an actor. Sudha Kongara’s direction, combined with a strong script and compelling performances, makes this biopic a must-watch. The film’s portrayal of grit and determination resonates deeply, making Sarfira an inspirational and moving cinematic experience.
