It's going to be one year soon since the release of Soorarai Pottru but the movie, beyond a commercial hit, has been adding remarkable feathers to its cap from across and beyond the borders. Recently, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) has announced its list of winners for 2021. Soorarai Pottru has won the Best Film award as the movie has become one of the paramount films in the Tamil Cinema industry. 

Soorarai Pottru is highly regarded for its storyline and for being a pioneer in Kollywood to get released directly on the OTT platform, as it was released on Amazon Prime on November 12, 2020, in wake of the indefinite closures of the theatres. Besides Soorarai Pottru, actor Suriya, who produced and played the lead role in the movie, has won the award of Best Performance Male (Feature) for his brilliant acting in the movie.

The IFFM was founded in 2012 and it is a State government of Victoria funded annual festival based in Melbourne and the IFFM has announced the winners for its 12th edition, which was held virtually on August 20 - Friday. Actor Suriya was conferred with the award for Best Performance Male for acting in Soorarai Pottru while the movie has won the Best Feature Film award. Suriya shared the nomination card for the Best Actor with actors Benjamin Daimary, Jitin Puthenchery, Harish Khanna, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi. 

However, Suriya had eventually won the award and on Sunday, Suriya has unveiled the box of delight at his home as he had opened the pack that contained the award from IFFM for Soorarai Pottru. A video of Suriya unboxing the award has been going viral on social media and while he opens the pack, his wife Jyothika was seen cheering him. Soorarai Pottru is based on 'Simply Fly', the biography of captain GR Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan, a low-cost airliner. Soorarai Pottru was submitted to the Academy Awards and enlisted as one among the 366 films that were eligible for Best Picture.

While Soorarai Pottru was bankrolled by Suriya and Guneet Monga under the banner of 2D Entertainment, the movie was directed by Sudha Kongara and while Suriya has played the lead role, Paresh Rawal, Aparna Balamurali, Urvashi, Karunas, and Kaali Venkat had played important roles. 2D Entertainment had shared Sunday's video of unboxing the award on social media and wrote, "Unboxing of the best film award for #SooraraiPottru from @IFFMelb Thank you all for owning & celebrating #SooraraiPottru."
