Akshay Kumar’s Latest Film "Sarfira" – A Breath of Fresh Air in Bollywood
Akshay Kumar Plays a Character Different from His Typical Roles
Akshay Kumar’s latest film "Sarfira" is a refreshing change from his typical roles in Bollywood. In this film, he plays a character who is down to earth and struggles to face the system and powerful people. This is a departure from his usual typecast as a soldier, special agent, or protector of the nation.
Story
The film "Sarfira" begins with the story of Akshay’s character, Veer Jagannath Mhatre, who dreams of starting a low-cost airline. The film goes into flashback and tells the story of why Captain Veer, who has resigned from the Air Force, wants to start an airline. It also introduces his wife, Rani (Radhika Madan), who wants to start her own bakery.
A Strong Script and Stronger Characters
The script of "Sarfira" is tightly woven, and the characters are well-developed. The film’s strongest aspect is its portrayal of Veer’s struggle to fulfill his dream. The character of Rani is particularly strong, as she is not just a supportive wife but a strong and independent individual who helps Veer in his struggles.
A Problematic Caste Barrier
However, the film has a problematic portrayal of the caste barrier. The villain, Paresh Goswami, is disgusted by people of lower castes, and Akshay’s character talks about breaking the caste barrier. However, the film does not fully address this issue, and it is not clear why Veer’s character wants to break the caste barrier if the villain does not have the same disgust towards people of lower castes.
Acting Performance
Akshay Kumar has played Veer’s character with all his emotional and crazy strength. He has captured the stubborn nature of the character well, and his changing facial expressions in close-up scenes are solid. Radhika Madan has also done a great job as Rani, and Paresh Rawal is particularly effective as the villain.
Conclusion
Overall, "Sarfira" is a film that keeps your attention while watching it. You will support the hero and Akshay Kumar, who is seen working hard on screen. However, the story of the struggle to fulfill a dream is a plot on which there are many films. Therefore, whether you want to spend money and time to go to the theatre to watch it or not, it will be completely decided by your choice.
