Performances:
Suriya is terrific in the role of Chandra Mahesh. His body language, dialogue delivery, and behavior on the screen is completely different when compared to his other films. This is a perfect film for Suriya to bring out the actor in him. The actor played his part well and returned to the successful form.

Aparna Balamurali is a talented actress and she gets her due to this film. Her romantic track with Suriya worked big time. The chemistry between both is a huge plus point for the film. The film also features Mohan Babu, Urvashi, and others. They all made their presence felt.

Technical Aspects:
The camera work is the major asset of the film. Niketh Bommireddy worked as the cinematographer for the movie. He has given his best effort for the film. His colorful visuals to the period time story have made the film look great on the screen.

The music is good. The songs are nice. The background score by GV Prakash Kumar elevated the film properly. The production design and artwork are excellent. The production values are grand. Technically, the film is strong.

Analysis:
Aakaasam Nee Haddhu Ra is the Telugu dubbed version of the Tamil movie Soorarai Pottru. The film has got the emotion in the right place. The movie works well for those who love gripping emotional and inspiring tales. The struggle of a common man from rags to riches is always a delight to watch on the screen. Director Sudha Kongara caught the same emotion so well and presented it well. The film has its share of shortcomings too. The film starts with an unimpressive episode and the pace is very slow. The director takes time to introduce the journey of the protagonist. However, the film picks up in the last thirty minutes. The final impact of the movie will be high and positive. On the whole, Aakaasam Nee Haddhu Ra is an engaging tale.
