Yes watched it last night. Couldn’t help laughing and crying on many family scenes that brought memories.
Dramatised but true to the undying spirit of triumph of hope against struggles and tribulations of an entrepreneur with disadvantaged rural background over overwhelming odds.

The portrayal of my wife Bhargavi by Aparna was very well etched out , of a woman who had her own mind , strong but soft , feisty and fearless and an inspiration to rural women especially who are equal and can be entrepreneurs in their own right.

And Suriya was powerful and carried off the part of an entrepreneur obsessed to the point of madness that makes dreams come true. A timely and great uplifting story in these times of gloom

And kudos and big salute to Director Sudha , to have balanced very deftly a male centric story lead by Suriya by portraying a wife acted by Aparna who was a powerful counter balance in an inspiring and heartwarming way

Suriya’s new movie Soorarai Pottru shows him as Nedumaaran Rajangam aka Maara. He sets out to make the common man fly and, in the process, takes on the globe’s most capital-intensive industry. There are several enemies who stand in his way. The story was written by Sudha Kongara, with a screenplay by him, Shalini Ushadevi, Aalif Surti, Ganesh and dialogues by Vijay Kumar. It also features Urvashi, Mohan Babu, Karunas, Vivek Prasanna, Krishnakumar, Kaali Venkat, G. Gnanasambandam, Vishalini, and others.
