Soorarai Pottru movie review: Sudha Kongara, Suriya tell a moving, poetic biopic without deifying the leading man

Firstpost  

I rooted for Suriya’s character Maaran when he took flight. Today, when I saw Che land a plane, in a tense yet action-packed scene within the first few minutes of Sudha Kongara’s Soorarai Pottru, I had a tear in my eye. I was rooting for Maaran, the protagonist, to achieve his dreams, as much as I was rooting for Kongara to make Soorarai Pottru work. Soorarai Pottru is the story of Nedumaran Rajangam, a man from Solavandhan, a small town in Madurai, who dreams of launching a low-cost airline; and his wife Sundari, who runs a successful bakery and funds his dreams. Like many of Suriya’s recent films, especially the museum piece that was Kaappaan, there is a farmer angle, a central government angle, a defence angle, father sentiment, an evil capitalist angle, as well as a love story with duets and everything.
