Udaan (Soorarai Pottru) Movie Review | PP Movie World

PP Movie Rating:- ***1/2 (3.5 Star/5)

Sudha Kongara's Soorarai Pottru is an inspirational store about a common man who had high dreams, based on Captain GR Gopinath's Simple Fly and'stories from the aviation industry. 'The store follows Nedumaran Rajangam (Suriya), the son of a school student (Poo Ramu) from Madurai, who decides to start a low-cost airline that even the poorest people can afford. Will Ma be able to aim for Akash and not fall down, with his inspiration, Paresh Goswami (Paresh Rawal), a pioneer in the aviation industry, doing his best to ensure that this dream is not fulfilled?

Soorarai Pottru is unmistakably a Surya film. He gets his most delicious part in a long time after 24, and the actor digs through his usual tenacity, making us realize every joy and sorrow of a mother. The actor demonstrates why he is regarded as one of the best of his generation, whether in a dramatic scene where he urges passengers in the airport to meet his ailing father for money or in a subtle gesture of reluctance Does what he is asking for. He took a loan from his own wife Sundari alias Bommi (Aparna Balmurali).

One of the main features of the film is the Mara-Bommi relationship. They are two people who suffer from their high-flying imaginations. Bommi's dream as a bakery owner may seem negligible compared to Mother's, but Sudha Kongra never misses the fact that she is also breaking the glass ceiling in her own way. Bommi has been challenging patriarchy around her since her first scene, when an older man tells her that only sons provide for her parents. When a relative asks why he rejected the mother, he replies if he ever asked the same question to the 20 men who turned him down as a bride! When his family worries that the mother will not be able to provide for him, he wonders if the man is really the one who is expected to take care of his wife.

In fact, it is because of her success - and her love - that Mother is able to fulfill her crazy dream even at her youngest. The manufacturer, refreshingly, does not offer its hard lines to prove it, opting instead for a hard-hitting repartee. When a frustrated mother asks Bommi, who is feeding her, if she has poisoned the food, she replies that it would have been if she had accepted a buyer bid in a decisive scene. When he reluctantly asks for a loan for her, he agrees to give more than the amount he asked for and adds that he does not have the same big heart as his dream and does not succumb to false pride.

Do these details exist because the screenplay was written by two women (Shalini Ushadevi and Sudha Kongra) and the director is a woman? Maybe, maybe not, but this level of sensitivity in portraying a female character is commendable. Aparna Balamurali gives a lively performance that immediately kills the character.

Overall, the writing is very good. The director provides us with unforgettable moments and memorable characters from the masterful analogy of Udipi Hotel vs Five-Star, which he uses to make the audience understand the aspirations of his hero, who, with his money to make it, is the heart of the whole village. Shows a shocking scene. dream come true. Of course, some of the characters are purely practical, such as Mohan Babu's Naidu, Mama's strict high officer in the army, and Mama's friend (Vivek Prasanna and Krishna Kumar), but are also standouts. Such as Poo Ramu's Rajangam, and a brilliant Urvashi, who first gets a serious role in Tamil, and Karuna, who plays Bommi's uncle Alapparai.

Soorarai Pottru has a solid commentary on caste beneath the inspiring rags-to-riches story. As Mara, who is less fortunate, asks her pacifist father about his Manu (petitions), it turns into an argument over Manu (Smriti). Mama's victory forces Paresh Goswami to chew the bitter pill literally and figuratively as a result of his victory. Despite the fact that he is also a man who has risen from humble beginnings, the desire to crush Mama's dreams for Paresh is a sign of the mentality that many of the less fortunate cultivate once they are entitled.

On the downside, the filming features the antagonist on the character. This character, like Irudhi Sutru, is one-dimensional and totally different from the flesh-and-blood character of the mother and the people around her. It is just like Jackie Shroff's character of Big Boss as Paresh Rawal has somehow made his place in this universe.

The film shows us how the nexus between capitalists and bureaucrats has been instrumental in crushing those who dare to dream big from the very beginning. However, after some time Hurdle Mara should be away, making the film a bit lengthy. However, the final images of joy on the face of ordinary people who are on board aircraft ensure a smooth landing.
