The makers of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, which stars Suriya in the lead role, continue to receive praise. Sudha Kongara’s 2020 biographical drama is now the third highest-rated film on IMDb.
The film has a 9.1 rating on the “IMDb Top 1000” list, putting it just behind The Godfather (which has a 9.2) and The Shawshank Redemption (which has a 9.3). Soorarai Pottru has recently won a number of awards, including a high ranking on the IMDb list. The film had previously made headlines after being chosen for the Shanghai International Film Festival 2021’s Panorama Section.
G. R. Gopinath’s book Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey influenced Soorarai Pottru. The book recounts legendary entrepreneur G. R. Gopinath’s hardships and setbacks as he attempted to launch India’s first low-cost airline. Suriya not only starred in the film, but he also co-financed it through his 2D Entertainment production company.
