Punctured Ferrari !!

When a film comes from such a reputed banner like Vinod Chopra Films the expectations are always high (and if their last film happens to be '3 Idiots' there's not much to say than to look forward). Directed by Rajkumar Hirani's AD since Munnabhai MBBS, Rajesh Mapuskar 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' falls flat on the storyline (it is said that the script was developed in a span of seven and a half years, seriously?).

Rustom Debu (Sharman Joshi) is a single father, honest and simple, who can even go out of the way to pay the fine for his silliest mistakes and would say "Mere bete ne dekha na, jo dekhega wohi seekhega" (according to its makers, the whole film is summarised with this dialogue). Kayo (Ritwik Sahore), his son is an extraordinary cricketer and his dream is to play for Team India. Rustom's father Behram (Boman Irani) hates cricket (for some reasons) and doesn't want Kayo to play. To fulfill Kayo's dream of playing at the Lord's cricket ground which is possible only with 1.5 lakh rupees in his pockets, Rustom performs an act of dishonesty which eventually gives him the exact amount needed. Rustom unknowingly steals Sachin Tendulkar's 'Ferrari' (???) for a wedding planner who in return would give the amount which he needed so badly. The story moves ahead with a lot of other characters involved with 'Ferrari' - the owner's servant, the security guard, the 'goonda' groom and his 'goonda' politician father.    

The story has nothing to push it further and it would be a better option to keep the film crispier and shorter. The characters used for comical purpose sounds boring and takes the pace of the film to a negative level. If it is not for the performances the film would go through digs. Sharman Joshi outshines and we can say that he has actually made his own identity in the list of fine actors (absolutely brilliant in the climax scenes). Boman Irani is terrific with such a beautiful 'Parsi' accent and terrific performance. The child actor Ritwik Sahore is very natural and performs well. Paresh Rawal is amazing in a small (negative) role.

Rajesh Mapuskar's direction is above average (considering his debut) but writing is far below average; no scope for the storyline to grow; even Hirani's dialogues lacks the magical touch. Cinematography and editing is good and Pritam's music is average.

'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' is a feel-good film where life seems too easy and everything falls into place very easily, this is the reason it is liked by everyone; you may criticise it but cannot hate this 'Sawaari'.
P.S. It is actually Sachin's Ferrari in the film.
