It's an Akshay Kumar show from start to end. He is in full form and brings a myriad of emotions to life with his earnest performance.

Sudha Kongara's writing and her staging of scenes are the major highlights of the film. From the very first scene of a plane declaring 'Mayday' to deep diving into the psyche of Vir and his never-die attitude, the film has several high points. Kongara also takes Akshay Kumar back to the basics. The actor has made a solid comeback in a performance that is so rooted.
Times of India
Sarfira is not just a rags-to-riches story or one about fighting odds. It is also a commentary on patriarchy, class divide, and casteism. While Vir (Akshay Kumar) has high-flying dreams, his fiesty wife Rani (Radhika Menon) has no less ambitions of her own.

The story is undeniably engaging. A man from an underprivileged background - he is the only son of a school teacher in a Maharashtra village where no train stops - battles deep-rooted prejudices and enormous hurdles in pursuit of his dream of launching an airline that would, in his own words, be an Udupi restaurant in the air.
