Multihyphenate G.V. Prakash Kumar is expanding his reach in Indian cinema, with several high-profile projects as both composer and actor on the horizon.
Kumar, who made his debut as a film composer age 19 with Vasanthabalan’s 2006 Tamil-language movie “Veyil,” entered Hindi-language cinema with Anurag Kashyap’s “Gangs of Wasseypur,” for which he composed the background score, in 2012.
His journey in the film industry began even earlier, when he debuted as a singer as a child, in his maternal uncle A.R. Rahman’s “Gentleman” (1993). Kumar’s recent Hindi composing efforts “Sarfira” and upcoming “Emergency” mark his continued expansion in Bollywood. Kumar notes that while core emotions in film music are universal, incorporating regional flavors is crucial when scoring.
“Sarfira,” for example, is Sudha Kongara’s remake of her own Tamil Nadu-set “Soorarai Pottru.” “If the film is placed in a particular region or state, we need to study and translate the folk elements into the film,...

Sarfira
Starring: Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Radhikka Madan
Directed by Sudha Kongara
Sudha Kongara’s Sarfira takes you by surprise. It is a solid entertainer about a man with the uni-focus of Arjun with that arrow and the fisheye. Sudha Kongara’s remake shouldn’t be dismissed just because it is what it is: a remake. True, the basic story about the man who dreamt of making air travel affordable for the poor, remains unchanged. As it should. Director Sudha Kongara and her co-writer Shalini Ushadevi have transcreated the Tamil original into a Maharastrian milieu without ruffling too many feathers.
I found the first fifteen minutes when Veer Mhatre (Akshay Kumar) deals with an aviation crisis (the pointer to a flashback) and his early marriage proposal to and courtship of his future wife Rani, to be annoyingly obstreperous, as though director Kongara was struggling to find a voice amidst the adaptative chaos.

Sudha Kongara’s Sarfira, a remake of her Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (2020) and adapted from the real-life events depicted in the book Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey by G. R. Gopinath is the tale of an underdog who dreams of spreading his wings high up in the sky by starting India’s first low-cost carrier airline. As he embarks upon fulfilling his near-impossible objective, he eventually confronts obstacles one after the other and tackles them with resilience and grit. It is an inspiring tale where an individual from the lower strata of society fights the authoritarian powers of a society that does not believe poor people have the right to be equals. The antagonist comes in the form of a rich and powerful business tycoon who has all the wealth and influence to manipulate the rules and regulations of the aviation department. As the story moves forward, we are made...
