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

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Himanshu Mishra Ferrari ki Sawari (FKS) is one of those movies which ends on a note so high, both emotionally and morally that you don't really have a choice but to summarize it as a 'good watch'.Its a movie set up in a world where everything would ultimately fall in place and has people who fall on the extreme ends of the human axis. Even in such an improbable world, director has been able to successfully fit in a juicy(carrying potential)enough script without making it much of an embarrassing affair. It would have been an elegant and far better piece of cinema had it been without its extended sub plots and some out of place characters. That would have automatically made it a shorter and crispier ride on the Ferrari. But then it would not have been a Vidhu Vinod Chopra Production.It goes without saying that the presence of Boman Irani was an absolute necessity for FKS to have its core in the right place. I wish he gets to do more of such roles where one can sit back and admire the talent this guy has and wonder where he was hiding before he broke into the scene. Of course it is Sharman Joshi who has come of age and has been satisfactorily able to carry the movie on his shoulders till the very end. It is a movie where you would leave the cinema hall thinking of it as a paisa vasool picture but at the same time you would know that you have somehow been tricked!! Go watch the movie for little flashes of brilliance and to have a feel good trip from the theatre exit to your car.

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.

namashi_1 Rajesh Mapuskar's 'Ferrai Ki Sawaari' is a decent film, that relishes on simplicity. However, this film's actual merit is its leading man, the sinfully under-rated Sharman Joshi, who shines in his part & delivers a career best performance. 'Ferrai Ki Sawaari' Synopisis: How the pursuit of an Indian cricket legend's Ferrari makes a young boy's dreams of playing cricket at Lords a reality.Rajesh Mapuskar & Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Screenplay is simple & uncomplicated. Its a decent story about dreams & hope. However, the writing in the first-hour, is extremely slow. Rajesh Mapsukar's Direction is noble. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are fine. Music by Pritam, is ordinary.Performance-Wise: As mentioned, Sharman Joshi delivers a career best performance. He's excellent from start to end. Boman Irani has essayed this kinda character a number of times before, but the actor manages to impress, as always. Ritvik Sahore is a talented, sincere performer. Deepak Shirke is amazing, so is the entire supporting case. Acting Giant Paresh Rawal stuns in a cameo, while Vidya Balan's item number is energetic. On the whole, Watch 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' for its simplicity & Sharman Joshi's winning performance.

DareDevilKid Film: Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012) Rating: 8/10 stars Reviewed By: DareDevikKid_DDKA truly heartwarming film. The last time I had laughed, cried, felt emotional, felt chocked, and enjoyed and even sneered at a slice of life all simultaneously was when the same team had served us the scrumptious '3 Idiots'. A classic feel-good satire in the same vein as 'Mr. Deeds Goes To Town', 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington', 'Meet John Doe', 'Modern Times', and our very own 'Munnabhai MBBS' among other masterpieces of the genre.All the performances from the lead, to the supporting, and even down to the bit players are rendered with passion and near surgical perfection. If Sharman Joshi is a revelation & Boman Irani tugs at your heart with a role he can sleepwalk through, then Kayo will be an inspiration to kids all over - I had already overheard a few kids enthusiastically telling their parents about their own aspirations with childlike fervor while leaving the theater.Also, expect this film to pick up quite a few nominations come awards season. Most expected nods should go to Sharman Joshi & Boman Irani for their fine performances; Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani & Rajesh Mapuskar for their excellent screenplay; and perhaps, Rajesh Mapuskar might even sneak in an additional nod in the Direction category. Rush to your nearest cinema-hall immediately and feast your senses with a near perfect execution of a feel-good satire. Most of all, watch it for one factor which it dishes out in copious amounts, and one which our society is badly in need of - "HOPE"......."LOTS OF HOPE"!
