The trailer for Akshay Kumar’s movie “Sarfira” has been released, generating a lot of buzz on social media. The film is set to release on July 12, 2024 and is a Hindi remake of the popular Tamil movie “Soorarai Pottru,” which starred Suriya. “Sarfira” tells the inspiring story of a man with a dream to start a low-cost airline, making air travel accessible to everyone.
A Story of Dreams and Determination
In the trailer, Akshay Kumar plays the role of Vir Mhatre, a man drowning in debt but full of confidence in his dreams. The name Sarfira translates to someone who is mad or crazy, reflecting Vir’s determination and resilience. He aims to revolutionize air travel by starting a low-cost airline, despite facing ridicule and opposition from industry bigwigs.
Star-Studded Cast
Talented actors like Paresh Rawal, Radhika Madan, Seema Biswas, and R Sarath Kumar support Akshay Kumar in this journey. Their performances add depth and appeal to the film.
Same Story, Different Language
Directed by Sudha Kongara, who also directed the original Tamil version, Sarfira follows the same story with minimal changes. The plot revolves around Vir Mhatre (played by Akshay Kumar), a man with a dream to start a low-cost airline, making air travel accessible to everyone. The story is inspired by Captain GR Gopinath’s book Fly – A Deccan Odyssey.
Recycled Elements
In Sarfira, the director has not changed the storyline, character styles, or even clothing from the original film. This could make some viewers wonder why they should go to the theater to watch Sarfira when Udaan is readily available online.
Music and Release Date
GV Prakash Kumar, Tanishk Bagchi, and Suhit Abhyankar composed the film’s music, which adds a vibrant soundtrack. Sarfira is set to hit theaters on July 12, 2024, and fans eagerly await its release.
Final Thoughts
While Sarfira offers an inspiring story with Akshay Kumar in the lead, some viewers might question the need for a Hindi remake that closely mirrors the original Soorarai Pottru. Sarfira could be a fresh and motivating cinematic experience for those who have not seen the Tamil version. However, for fans of the original, the lack of new elements might make them prefer watching Udaan on OTT platforms.
