ReviewSuriya is in fine form, switching between angry young man to conflicted son, romantic husband and cussing businessman.Sowmya RajendranThe Air Deccan ad is still vivid in my memory. The cut-out of Superman on the road minus the head. Passersby pose behind the cut-out, positioning their head to fit Superman's body and voila - flying is now for everyone! Soorarai Pottru, directed by Sudha Kongara and now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, tells a story inspired by that audacious dream. The film is careful to stress that it's based on Captain Gopinath's book Simply Fly but is not a biopic. While the story sticks to his journey broadly, from a small village to the National Defence Academy (Nda) and later an entrepreneur in a high-risk business, it also makes several departures. Like Sudha's Irudhi Suttru, Soorarai Pottru is also an underdog story, but this time with a man at the centre taking the punches.
