Inspired by Captain Gopinath's book 'Simplifly' and multiple other true stories from the world of entrepreneurship and aviation, Sarfira tells the story of Vir Jagannath Mhatre, the son of a teacher in rural Maharashtra who sets out to achieve the impossible - making the common man fly.

By defying all odds and persistently pursuing his vision, Vir takes on the most capital-intensive industry in the world and revolutionizes air travel in India with the help of his family, friends and sheer will power. This is a uniquely Indian story of grit, determination and Jugaad, of an underdog challenging the socio-economic fabric of a system entrenched in class, caste and power dynamics.
