MOVIE REVIEW: Sarfira is an engaging and inspiring tale that showcases Sudha Kongara’s writing prowess as one of the major highlights of the film. Sarfira is a scene-to-scene rehash of the original “Soorarai Pottru,”, with the primary location shifted from a village in Tamil Nadu and Chennai to a hamlet in Maharashtra and Mumbai. The character names have been changed accordingly, but everything else remains the same.
If you have seen “Soorarai Pottru,” on Amazon Prime, “Sarfira” won’t offer any new surprises. However, for those who haven’t seen the original and are fans of Akshay Kumar, it is worth watching for its inspirational narrative and strong performances. The film is filled with entertaining and dramatic moments that maintain interest. However, it falters in places, especially in the second half. The film could have benefited from a tighter edit and fewer songs to keep the story’s momentum intact.
Akshay Kumar carries the film with a heartfelt and emotional performance. Radhikka Madan shines with a strong and confident portrayal. Seema Biswas and Anil Charanjeett stand out with their remarkable supporting act. Paresh Rawal is exceptional as the antagonist, reprising his role from the original version. Despite their brief screen time, Ravi Khanvilkar, Prakash Belawadi, and R. Sarath Kumar make a notable impact. Saurabh Goyal, Krishnakumar Balasubramanian, Jay Upadhyay, and other supporting actors were fine. Suriya’s cameo was superb.
