Ferrari Ki Sawari - 06/10 =========== ====
The movie title gave me a feeling that it would be about a road trip that the trio of Bomman Irani, Sharman Joshi and a Kid would take across the country. Surprisingly, the movie is more about a kids struggle to become a cricketer than about Ferrari. Who could have guessed that with that kind of title and posters?
After watching the movie you will realize that movies like 'Ferrari Ki Sawari' is exactly the reason that people like me turn into film critics :-)
There is a pattern which has become very predictable with Bollywood movies and its gotten really old now. The movie theme remains all happy and story seems to make sense till intermission. It is only after the intermission that they screw up everything by making things too emotional and unrealistic. I thought that acting of all the actors was simply superb in the movie. Bomman Irani has acted brilliantly, and this character of his, 'old-khadoos grandpa' was the best character he had done so far. Sharman Joshi's acting of a perfect father was equally good and so was the Kid's character. If not for the sucking story, their roles would have been no less than an Oscar performance, and all my points are for their performances.
There's a dearth of idea about stories in Bollywood movie. Its only love stories or gang shoot-outs. Directors who select a different story either become big hits or screw-up big time. This movie would be the latter. Its about time that someone starts writing different but realistic stories.
My suggestion: Worth watching for the acting effort that Bomman Irani and Sharman have put in. But don't watch it beyond intermission, you would only be disappointed at such a waste of talent.
