Why does the free surface of a liquid tend to contract?

Air (density $\rho$) is being blown on a soap film (surface tension $T$) by a pipe of radius $R$ with its opening right next to the film. The film is deformed and a bubble detaches from the film when the shape of the deformed surface is a hemisphere. Given that the dynamic pressure on the film due to the air blown at speed $v$ is $\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}$,the speed at which the bubble is formed is:
