In anย NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Sarfira 2 out of 5 stars. He wrote, โSarfiraย does not exactly soar above the clouds although Akshay Kumar plunges headlong into a role that has far more meat than many of the other roles that he has played in recent years. The hammy bits are hard to ignore, butย Sarfiraย does have moments that allow the star to demonstrate his wares to a greater extent than he usually does.โ
Sarfiraย also features Seema Biswas, Prakash Belawadi and Anil Charanjeett. The film has been jointly produced by Abundantia Entertainment, 2D Entertainment, and Cape of Good Films.
