Motivated by a personal loss, Vir (Akshay Kumar) vows to make his ambition of founding a low-cost carrier a reality, but the market sharks are unwilling to offer him a clean route. The film’s narrative focuses on Vir’s journey and the difficulties he encountered while pursuing his passion with the help of his friends and wife, Rani (Radhika Madan).
Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Vir is a masterclass in emotive acting, effectively conveying the character’s emotional highs and lows. Radhika Madan’s performance seamlessly blends into the Marathi setting, adding depth to her character. Seema Biswas and Paresh Rawal also deliver standout performances, further enhancing the movie’s appeal.
Sudha Kongara, together with co-writers Shalini Ushadevi and Pooja Tolani, have crafted a riveting drama around the turmoil in the aviation sector at the turn of 2000, packed with emotional outbursts and funny interludes. The movie subtly alludes to a budget airline’s impact on Jet Airways’s dominance, Kingfisher Airlines’s aspirations, and the bureaucratic obstacles that delayed Ratan Tata. Gopinath empowered the dreams of ordinary Indians, recognizing before others in the industry that air travel is now a vital need for the modern, mobile Indian. The opening scene of Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan’s film provides an adrenaline rush. As the story progresses, it is revealed that Akshay’s character, Vir Mhatre, a former Indian Air Force officer, wants to make it big with his business idea for the sake of the people. During this time, he meets Rani (Radhika Madan) in an arranged marriage. Rani wants to open her own bakery and supports Vir to achieve his aim. Thus begins Vir Mhatre’s effort to establish a low-cost airline. Vir has no idea that the man he admires, Paresh Goswami, will become his greatest adversary. Despite this, Mhatre is determined to fly high and now has Rani’s support. This is not the end of the narrative. The real story begins here, with struggles, rejections, betrayal, and more.
Sarfira’s story is full of emotions. A scene in which Akshay’s character Vir deals with the loss of a loved one is both tragic and gut-wrenching. It is undeniably a highlight of director Sudha Kongara’s film. The episodic screenplay, smartly edited and well-paced, depicts Veer’s balanced relationship with his entrepreneur wife Rani (Radhika Madan) and his strong mother (Seema Biswas), making sure that the journey of his hardships does not seem like a lengthy duration to sit through.
The film also contains multiple subplots, which can make the narrative difficult to follow at times. They frequently distract from the main plot. While the film’s first half moves rapidly, the second half is hindered by a few scenes that appear needless. One sequence, in particular, appears to be a half-baked idea because no explanation is supplied.
