Sarfira, a remake of Soorarai Pottru, stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Radhikka Madan. It presents itself as a biopic but sometimes makes confusing tonal decisions. The caste conversation stays limited to dialogue and heavy exposition. Sarfira offers Akshay a breath of fresh air. "You can’t help but indulge in Sarfira, though it might make you cry," said a reviewer.
