Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Disapointment

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Rajkumar Hirani and VVC are back after 3 Idiots(2009) with a new director Rajesh Mapsukar(AD of Hirani in LRMB) The film is a reality plus a fairytale and the film manages to evoke emotions in you and makes you laugh, cry The film has several assets, first of all the film is unique, the story however far-fetched yet is not a south copy nor a Hollywood remake(as far as I know) like most Hirani films. This too has a feel good feeling and is an entertaining film overall The ambitions, trials and tribulations are all heartfeeling The family of Kayo(Sharman, Boman and Ritwik) seems so non-filmy and realistic, their problems are identifiable There are several filmy scenes which are predictable too like Sharman reaching the ground just at the right time, also the way all greet his sixes and fours and break into a song is quite filmy but yet such scenes are entertaining too Another factor going against is perhaps the film has several make believe scenes like the Corporator track looks so misfit in the film with realistic characters. Much more involving are the scenes of the domestic help and Deepak Shirke The scenes involving Kayo and Rustom are great too while the scenes involving Boman and Sharman are great too The film does go the fantasy way in between and the entire ferrari track does seem far fetched but it is well handled The finale outburst of Sharman again is filmy but it's moving nonetheless. The manner in which the film ends too is filmy and clichéd yet it evokes the emotions in you Another problem is it's unwarranted length of 2 and 1/2 hrs(18 reels) which is too long for such a film and the film does drag at several places Another problem is the films too convenient at several places and could be much betterDirection is good, the best scenes are those involving Kayo's family, while the gangster scenes seem off track Music is decent, the title song is superb, Vidya's song Mala Jaun De seems forced The song which is in background is superb Dialogues are funny and superb The Parsi colony is superb too, the Christmas- new year feel in the film with xmas trees and all is superb While the Maharastrian dialogues and all are well suited too Sharman Joshi started off in small roles in GODMOTHER(1999) and Lajja(2001) but got most praise for Style(2001) and followed by the dud sequel Xcuse Me and many forgettable films and then his comeback was Rang De Basanti, Metro, 3 Idiots which put him on the right track This is perhaps his first solo film and he carries the film on his shoulders, yet again he gives a natural performance Once known as a funster, the actor proves that he can deliver in all roles and does a great job as usual Boman Irani gets into the skin of the character yet again, in all Hirani films he portrays variety of roles and all with get ups, here too he gets into the character with a bent shoulder, unshaven beard, thick specks and you forget you're watching Boman Irani He is flawless Ritwik is a natural and is a welcome addition to the list of talented child artistes. Amongst rest Deepak Shirke seen after a while does a great job Paresh Rawal has 2-3 scenes but does a superb job Satyadeep Mishra(couch) is superb, Nilesh Diwekar as Pakya is funny The actor playing the corporator is good too but their track doesn't work Seema Pahwa, The actress playing the wedding planner is a natural, also the owner of the garage and others

This movie is a must watch for all. There's a lot to learn from it. I had not much expectations from this movie but it throbbed by heart. Since it's Vidhu Vinod Chopra's script i gave it a try. Sharman Joshi(Rusy) played it good. it deliberately inspires you, the movie teaches lay people about how to set an example to our children especially single fathers who raise kids all by themselves. Few scenes may bring tears, this movie is about how a struggling dad tries to full fill his son's dream. Paresh Raval has played a villain's role in this movie. In-spite of the movie having no romance triangle like any other Hindi movies but it delivery is outstanding. I assure you that it wont be disappointing-Ferrari Ki Sawaari I reckon families to watch this movie. it' 7.5/10

Its a sweet simple movie straight from the heart wit a lot of sincerity, having some beautiful moments that ensures a smile on your face. However the movie has enough hiccups that hampers its smooth flow ; too much unnecessary time is given to the scenes involving relatively unimportant characters which adds to the length of the film.Also FKS tries very hard which wasn't needed and the plot takes too many liberties in the end.Revealing those things will be a spoiler. The biggest strength of FKS lies in its lead characters' top notch performances.THe young kid looks confident in every scene and also he looks very similar to his on screen father,superb casting. Boman Irani as grumpy old man is superb .But its the under rated Sharman Joshi who is such a revelation in this film ,delivering his best yet and becoming the best reason to watch this film. watch out for the scene in which he pleads to a loan officer with a smile of hope of getting the loan ..outstanding expression. When Boman and Sharman are on screen they just raise the depth of those scenes.. Not a gr8 film but surely worth a watch .Such a nice clean film are very rare these days

So for the first time ever Sharman Joshi stars in the lead role and he manages to pull it of effortlessly.Basically this is a feel good movie and as usual he fits into the role of a comical simpleton perfectly. Debutant Ritwik Sahore gives a mature performance and Boman Irani is as splendid as every. In fact, every character in this movie has given his best. The cinematography is perfect and the crisp direction leaves little to be desired.So what spoils this seemingly good movie? The biggest gaping hole in this film is its plot. The concept is good, but the movie is riddled with fundamental flaws (not giving any spoilers). The movie has been stretched on and on, making it really annoying at the end. The makers simply don't get it when the joke's supposed to be over. To summarize in Tolkein's words, "It's like butter scraped over too much bread."
