Soorarai Pottru Movie Review: Suriya-starrer Has a Turbulent Flight

News 18  

Soorarai Pottru Director: Sudha Kongara Cast: Suriya, Aparna Balamurali, Paresh Rawal, Urvashi Director Sudha Kongara, who gave us a brilliant movie like Irudhi Suttru on boxing, now offers one on flying, Soorarai Pottru. Streaming on Amazon Prime, this Suriya-starrer is loosely based on a dream Captain Gopinath saw and realised through his low-cost airline, Air Deccan, which helped the poor to fly by connecting smaller towns. Kongara’s work is a classic story of a poor man attainting heights he thought he would not be able to, and she peppers the narrative with what appears like unsurmountable barricades, but Nedumaaran, jumps over or rather flies over each one of them. In the final analysis, Soorarai Pottru could have been far more inspiring and even engrossing had Kongara done away with these irritants.
