In one crucial scene, when a dejected Maara asks Bommi, who is feeding him, if she has poisoned the food, she shoots back that she would have, if he had accepted a buyout offer. Refreshingly, the director doesn't give her rousing lines to show this, but hard-hitting repartee. In fact, it is her success - and her support - that allows Maara to cling on to his wild dream at his lowest moments.
When a relative asks her the reason for her saying 'No' to Maara, she asks if he had ever posed the same question to the 20 men who had rejected her as a bride! And when her family is concerned that Maara might not be able to look after her, she asks if it is always the man who is supposed to care for his wife. Right from her introduction scene, when an older man tells her that it is only only sons provide for their parents, Bommi keeps questioning the patriarchy around her. Bommi's dream of running a bakery might seem small compared to Maara's at first glance, but Sudha Kongara keeps underling the fact that she is also breaking the glass ceiling in her own way. They are both individuals who are crazy about their high-flying dreams. The Maara-Bommi relationship is one of the film's major strengths.
Be it the dramatic scene where he begs for money from passengers in an airport to visit his ailing dad or the subtle hints of hesitation that he conveys over asking for a loan from his own wife, Sundari aka Bommi (Aparna Balamurali), the actor shows that why he is considered one of the best of his generation. After 24, he gets his meatiest role in a while, and the actor digs in with his customary tenacity, making us feel Maara's every delight and despair. Soorarai Pottru is a Suriya show all the way.
But with his inspiration, Paresh Goswami (Paresh Rawal), a leader in the aviation industry, trying his best to ensure that this dream doesn't take off, will Maara be able to reach for the sky and not fall down? The film revolves around Nedumaaran Rajangam (Suriya), the son of a school teacher (Poo Ramu) in a Madurai village, who decides to start a lowcost airline that can be aspirational for even the less privileged. Soorarai Pottru Movie Review: Based on Captain GR Gopinath's Simply Fly and 'stories from the aviation industry', Sudha Kongara's Soorarai Pottru is an inspiring tale about a common man who dreamt big.
