Behindwoods’ appreciation of Suriya in Soorarai Pottru read as follows: Suriya carries the entire film on his shoulders. He laughs, he cries and lives the moment – he is not Suriya but Nedumaaran alias Maaran on screen. He effortlessly brings out the anguish right in his performance and at times, with just his eyes, when his over-ambitious plans, seem to go haywire, at least initially.

Emotions wise too, the film works big-time, pulling at your heartstrings. You want Suriya to succeed as much as you, simply because beyond a point of time, you begin to travel along with the character and naturally root for it to succeed. You, of course, know Maara is going to win, but the way, Sudha has set up the conquests, really makes for a thrilling ride. There is no point in the film where you are tempted to call it a 'Mayday'.
