He doesn't seem to have anything to look forward to, except ruining Maaran's life and this makes him one-note.
But Goswami, on his own, is pretty dull and cardboard-like. Suriya and Rawal play each other off well, making every scene of theirs worth a second viewing. Ranjith's Kaala), despising the idea of poor people taking flights and foiling every move that Maaran makes. Paresh Goswami feels a little like the corporate version of Hari Dada (from Pa. Yes, it does have the mass masala moments and angles, but unlike in say a film like Kaappaan, they blend well to take the story forward rather than appearing tedious. The intricacies of Maaran's and Sundari's relationship are woven beautifully into the screenplay which moves at a brisk pace. Soorarai Pottru has more to do with Nedumaaran's quest to launch a low-cost airline that's accessible for every Indian, but it's also a solid family drama. Mohan Babu, Karunas, Vivek Prasanna, Kaali Venkat, Vinodhini Vaidyanathan, and Prakash Belawadi all get decently written scenes. The supporting cast is an efficient lot here. Vijay Kumar's dialogues lend the screenplay a very natural, credible, and relatable flavor ("nee oru socialite, naan oru socialist", "nammaloda airline vaanathil parakkapora oru Udupi hotel", and more). As Nedumaaran (a.k.a Maara), he brings his A-game in every scene, whether it be romancing Sundari (Aparna Balamurali, in a memorable role), breaking into tears with his mother (played to great effect by Urvashi), or going neck-and-neck with Paresh Goswami (Paresh Rawal, as the baddie).
I can confidently say that this is the Suriya movie that we've all been waiting for. With Soorarai Pottru, writer-director Sudha Kongara once again shows that she can make strong underdog stories in the commercial format. Reviewed by arungeorge13 7 / 10 Yes! Surya makes a dashing comeback!
