bobbysing To start with FERRARI KI SAWAARI may not be a perfect film since it does have its flaws including its over length and few avoidable scenes & songs. But ignoring its weak points the film is indeed "One of the Best FAMILY movies of 2012" which even reminds you of another perfect family entertainer, 3 IDIOTS presented by the same production house. The film obviously revolves around the subject of Cricket and A Ferrari, yet it's not entirely a SPORTS movie as you might be thinking. On the contrary, it is a film based on relationship between a father, a son and a grandfather. In poetic words it's a film based on cricket where the team consists of only 3 players and the rest all are simply cheering for them in their own unique ways. FKS firstly becomes an enjoyable experience for everyone because of its emotional theme which talks about the most untouched or tense relationship in a middle class family that is between a father and his son. It enlightens a young father about how to bring in more positivity into this important bonding taking it onto a different level altogether.Secondly it very importantly teaches you the value of Forgiveness when a person simply forgets and forgives his dear friend for having played a dirty game with him (ruining his entire life), arising out of professional jealousy & greed. And I rate a particular scene in the film, between Boman & Paresh as one of the best scenes of current times, capable of teaching you the art of forgiveness in just a few seconds. Thirdly but most importantly, FKS actually gets converted into a worth watching film because of its two flawless performances by Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani wherein they both quietly surpass their own benchmarks set in their other famous masterpiece 3 IDIOTS. Sharman Joshi is simply exceptional in his simple yet impressive performance of an honest father. He infuses great positive energy in the entire film, especially in the opening and last 15 minutes when you honestly cannot stop falling in love with his character on screen. Complimenting him beautifully there is Boman Irani who undoubtedly is one of the most talented character actors in Hindi Film Industry at present. Boman simply takes over from Sharman like a relay race post intermission and delivers an even better performance than his 3 Idiots. Completing the trio is Ritwik Sahore, the kid who despite of being placed in front of such great actors, superbly makes his presence felt with elegance. Further, this team of 3 gets great encouragement from a brilliant supporting cast lead by Seema Pahwa, who is superb as the wedding planner and completely steals the show in many of her scenes.Paresh Rawal is bang on in his short cameo and so are the other actors contributing a lot in the overall impact of the film. Cinematography adds to the excitement related with the Ferrari along with a fine background score. But musically, Pritam is just OK with nothing great as one does not remember the songs once out of the theater. The tag line of the review calls it a 'near perfect' film since FKS does have few weaker moments in its narration which could have been tackled in a better manner. For instance the complete side track of a corrupt politician and his son's wedding seems to be a bit over the top with many cardboard like characters. The plot also takes too many liberties with the Ferrari moving freely on the roads without being noticed and the song with the car flying in the air in reality looks absurd and avoidable. As seen in many earlier movies on cricket, the scenes featuring the game once again remain the weakest ones. Like, how can one look for hitting the wickets when the ball is being pitched way outside the off-stump (when Boman is bowling to his grandson)? Now as mentioned before, Why I would like to ignore these drawbacks in totality? That's because we all lack one major feature in our lives which is called POSITIVE THINKING and FKS is full of the same positivity we all are looking for. We don't get to see such positive films too often and that doesn't mean that it is a 'weepy movie' at all. The film has a father and his son living their lonely life with a great positive attitude, people or neighbors helping out each other in the times of need and it even has good policemen, miles away from the routine kind of men on duty seen in every other film.Keeping that in mind, FERRARI KI SAWAARI is indeed one of the best FAMILY films of 2012. It is a fine first time attempt by director Rajesh Mapuskar backed by the same talented men (Vidhu Vinod Chopra & Raj Kumar Hirani), who gave us Munna Bhai films and 3 Idiots. So that should be another big reason why it deserves to be seen by all.

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

sasikanth20 Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a joy ride, yes. But there is so much drama in this joy ride, that you stop enjoying it and wonder when it'll get over. But overall, it's a decent film. One might actually enjoy it, but it's very long and dramatic. It starts off with great intent, but becomes too much of a fantasy towards the end. It's nowhere close to the recent films from the Vidhu Vinod Chopra films (3 Idiots or the Munna Bhai series), but is a modest effort nevertheless.Acting: 7/10 Story-Screenplay-Direction: 7/10 Technical Aspects: 8/10 Is it worth your time and money??: Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a movie with its heart at the right place, but it just doesn't deliver enough. It's a family movie, for kids and parents will enjoy it, but I don't think youngsters will like it so much. Unless you want to take along your parents (like I did) or kids, wait for the DVD.For a detailed review, please visit sasikanth.me :)
