silvan-desouza 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

Vikas SS The biggest selling point for 'Ferrari ki Sawaari' was its pedigree as it called itself 'from the makers of Munna Bhai & 3 Idiots'. And what more, the ace director of these films, Rajkumar Hirani wrote the dialog for 'Ferrari ki Sawaari'. Obviously, the expectations were sky high but the film has been built on a rather weak script. The story revolves around a little boy Kayo Deboo (Ritwik Sahore) who is a budding cricketer nursing a dream to play for India. Just when he gets selected for a prestigious camp at the Lords Cricket Ground, his father, Rusy (Sharman Joshi), an honest RTO clerk cannot afford the 1.5 lakh fee. Rusy's father Behram (Boman Irani) a former cricketer himself is dismissive about his kin making a career in cricket. When Rusy's efforts to raise the money through a PF or bank loans fail, the only ray of hope is a wedding planner (Seeema Pahwa) who offers 1.5 lakh if he can fetch a Ferrari car for a local corporator's sons's wedding procession. But the only person in the city who owns such a car is Sachin Tendulkar and Rusy must steal it from him. Sharman Joshi perfectly fits the bill of playing a simple and hapless guy weighed down by fate. But he lacks the charisma to carry an entire movie on his shoulders. Boman Irani is top notch as usual. Little Ritwik Sahore complements the star cast. On yes, Vidya Balan makes her presence felt in an unnecessary item number. The film raises a number of issues such as the impracticality of someone with modest means dreaming of a career in sports, the difficulty in making ends meet and being able to provide for one's dreams all on a meager salary and the thought of truly talented folk being trampled due to politics and those with deep pockets. The overdose of drama that is focused on the child is likely to interest preteen audiences who would gladly drag their parents to watch the film. And then there are those who will give it a chance because Rajkumar Hirani's name is associated with it. But otherwise, there are so many plot holes that leave you dissatisfied. First, there was no specific reason for the lead characters being Parsi except about showing them to be living in a Parsi colony and one joke where a goon says he called out for 'Rustom' and twenty of them turned up. Also, was the setting really 2012? Barring the existence of mobile phones, the film seemed like a throwback to 1980s. And over the top characters like the corporator's son are simply irritating. The portrayal of his poverty is rather unrealistic. Granted that he is a widower and sole breadwinner caring for his old father and providing for his young boy all on meager government salary; but in an age where small time street vendors carry mobile phones, our hero doesn't seemed to have bought one. And why does he stash money in odd places instead of leaving it in his salary account? What was the director thinking?The honesty angle has also been overdone and inconsistent. Imagine anyone accidentally jumping an unsupervised traffic light and searching desperately for a cop to voluntarily pay fine! And within minutes, our epitome of honesty goes on and steals a fancy car and jolly well drives it around the city with his son. What ever happened to all that gyaan about setting an example to his son in the traffic signal incident?What more? Our hero leaves the stolen car on the street, nearly at Sachin's doorstep in broad daylight; Boman Irani's character brings the car to the cricket association headquarters where nobody seems to care where the car came from or why were they driving around like crazy amidst the fountains in the garden. To top it all, nobody gets pulled up by the law. All this in the name of cinematic liberty, wow!To sum up, 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' is a film with its heart in the right place. Just that it goes overboard with some unrealistic drama. Given that the movie is centered on a kid and we are a cricket crazy nation, it may have takers despite it being average fare!

Ashish Gupta Vidhu Vinod Chopra along with his team and new director Rajesh Mapuskar has given another reason to celebrate the sensible cinema and making one more positive contribution to the Year 2012 which would be known for the best known scripts like Pan Singh Tomar, Kahaani and Shanghai .Ferrari ki Sawari hits the right chord with the right intention. The story revolves around Rusy Deboo(Sharman Joshi ) a RTO officer and a single parent who is living his simple life with Kayo (Ritvik Sahore) his only son and his father Behram (Boman Irani). Kayo's dream is to become like Sachin Tendulkar –The Cricket Legend and his endurance for the same positioned him as the captain of his school's cricket team. But, next what? An announcement by his coach (Satyadeep Mishra) raised Kayo's hope to play at the Mecca of cricket i.e. Lords England to take his dreams at the next level but the salary of a honest RTO officer does not made his father eligible to avail the Loan facility from banks and Employee Provident fund of Shining India Govt brings on guarantee to help the employee right on time. So what's the Way out? Is it a Ferrari ? If Yes, how it gonna do that? These are the questions on which movie further revolves.The beauty of a movie lies in its characters notably 'Sholay' or to quote recent 'Kahaani' and fortunately Rajesh Mapuskar made that feel good with his characters whether its Seema Bhargava as a wedding planner, Tendulkar's domestic helper, security guard, politician & his son, traffic policeman and Paresh Rawal , as a selection committee member; all characters could be recalled easily despite the length of their roles.Regarding performances ,In 3 idiots Sharman was told to made noise of Motor in classroom and it was felt that the sound would be heard more clear in future and with this Sawaari of Ferrari he is riding high on his best performances till date without a doubt. Ritvik Sahore as Kayo keeps you amazed with his performance and Boman Irani has proved his versatility of playing any sort of role with this movie.Overall this is one rare Father –Son relationship Indian movie which explores the beauty of parental relationship with honesty and pride and promise to make this Ferrari ki Sawari more enjoyable. It might not make 100 crores at theaters but there are few fruits which ripen and becomes sweet with time…This movie is That.Read Full review at www.thecritiquelab.com
