Vir Mhatre comes from a distant village with one piece of work in mind. What he wants is to start India’s first low cost airline. The point is that flying should be within reach of people on low incomes and not only the rich. Money, permits and rivals put obstacles in his way at every stage. The film also tells what that stubbornness costs. The story is a remake of Sudha Kongara’s Tamil film Soorarai Pottru of 2020, which was itself adapted from a memoir by G. R. Gopinath. Akshay Kumar, Radhikka Madan and Paresh Rawal appear in Kongara’s Indian film of 2024, a hundred and fifty five minutes long.
