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.

It wouldn't be wrong if I said Vidhu Vinod Chopra has become a factory which mostly produces a set of good at heart, inspirational yet thought provoking movies. 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' is no exception. The job this time is given to débutant director Rajesh Mapuskar who earlier was the assistant director in 3 idiots. A simple and honest RTO officer, Sharman Joshi as Rusy (Rustam Deboo) falls in a dilemma when his promising cricketer son Ritvik Sahore as Kayo (Kayoze Rustam Deboo) gets an opportunity to join a cricket camp in London but requires a fee of 1.5 lakh rupees. To add to that we have Boman Irani as Father of Rusy who himself was a very talented cricketer but was betrayed by his friend during the final selection and thus considers cricket a waste of time. When a glimmer of hope knocks at the door as Sharman is promised the sum of money in place of a Ferrari ride for a few hours he steals it from Sachin Tendulkar's house. What happens then forms the crust of the story. The good thing about such movies is that even if they have 2 or 3 scenes that have that emotional and feel good touch it becomes terribly hard to hate them. And FRS has them. Pritam's music is mostly enjoyable although I did find Vidya Balan's item number unnecessary. Sharman Joshi gives a strong performance proving that he too can pull off lead roles and Kayoze does pretty well too. Actually, in a few scenes I was astonished to see how closely Kayoze's expressions and dialogue delivery resemble to that of Sharman . But Boman Irani steals the show for me. Still, I cannot say that the film lies in the same place as Munna Bhai. It could have easily been 15 minutes shorter and a bit more compact. Nonetheless, it has it's heart at the right place which makes it a good watch. 2.5/5

An aspiring cricketer son Kayo (Ritwik Sahore) and his completely pessimist grandfather Deboo (Boman Irani); Rustam (Sharman Joshi) lives in a small world with a big dream that he and his son have seen together; to send Kayo to Lords, London, for cricket-training and finally get him into the Indian cricket team. The only hurdle in front of him is the 1.5 lac rupees that he has to collect for his son's trip. Here, comes the 'Ferrari' into picture as the most unexpected and the best ever help. But with it, comes another grand adventure in the life of Rustam.

Rajkumar Hirani's latest offer Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a must watch this season. The simple yet powerful storyline, the strong characters (even the supporting actors are commendable), and of course, the dashing and the dazzling red beauty Ferrari; the Vidhu-Raju magic has worked again.

Sharman Joshi as the simpleton and the clean hearted widower becomes the show stealer of the movie with his stupendous performance. He perfectly fitted into the middle class family scenario wherein he is the only bread winner. He entirely carried the movie in the best way possible and he could finally say that this is his solo lead.

Boman Irani, as the totally pessimist father who later turns out to be the soft hearted grandpa, showcased another of his commendable performances.

Young Ritwik gave an impressive performance as the mature and understanding son, Kayo. Paresh Rawal shined in his small yet intense role.

Director Rajesh Mapuskar did a great job by introducing a different story that actually moves you. The father-son relations between two different generations and the level of understanding, really grip you throughout the movie. Though certain scenes seem to be a little unwanted, they are soon overshadowed by the brillinat scenes later. Sachin Tendulkar's invisible importance in the movie is unavoidable.

Though the music does not play much of an importance in the movie, it is enjoyable. You might even forget that Vidya had made a friendly appearance in the movie.

Watch Ferrari Ki Sawaari for Sharman Joshi and his adventurous ride with the Ferrari.

This movie is a must watch for all. There's a lot to learn from it. I had not much expectations from this movie but it throbbed by heart. Since it's Vidhu Vinod Chopra's script i gave it a try. Sharman Joshi(Rusy) played it good. it deliberately inspires you, the movie teaches lay people about how to set an example to our children especially single fathers who raise kids all by themselves. Few scenes may bring tears, this movie is about how a struggling dad tries to full fill his son's dream. Paresh Raval has played a villain's role in this movie. In-spite of the movie having no romance triangle like any other Hindi movies but it delivery is outstanding. I assure you that it wont be disappointing-Ferrari Ki Sawaari I reckon families to watch this movie. it' 7.5/10

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.

This is a modern day fairy story with a heart of gold. Slightly manipulative emotionally but forgivably so.

Sharman, a Parsi, chronic do-gooder, an honest RTO officer, probably below the new Parsi poverty line of Rs 90,000 pm, wants to send his son, Ritvik, to a cricket coaching camp at Lords, London. He's a cinch to get selected but the only hitch is the Rs 1.5 lac fee. Many loan rejections later, the only way out seems to be via a wedding planner, Seema . Who's willing to give him the amount as a gift if he can arrange a Ferrari for a few hours. So that a corrupt corporator's useless son can get married in it. The problem is, there is only one Ferrari in Mumbai. Belonging to Sachin Tendulkar.

Another problem is posed by Sharman's dad, Boman Irani, who hates cricket, thinks most cricketers are salesmen. And is dead against sending his grandson for the camp.

The story line is simple and thankfully remains so through the film, with possibly my only issue being with the suicide angle and the breakdown towards the end. Else, it remains light, chirpy and cheerful all the way through. The film is lit up by some very well written characters and excellent performances. The waiter at the Mumbai Cricket Association who wants an autograph because in an inconsequential match 38 years ago, the cricketer had taken 8 wickets on a dead pitch. The bumbling but good hearted security guard at Sachin's flat. Sharman's boss who informs him that the wheels of loans against Provident Fund grind correctly but exceedingly slowly. The cop nicknamed Mahatma Gandhi. The corporators dramebaaz son. The cricket coach. The bubbly wedding planner. The gun happy corporator. Sharman and Boman, who do an as expected great job. And above all, I loved the son. His smile lights up the screen and our hearts in a truly honest performance.

The background music, with the cricket song and also the title song deserving special mention. Keeps the mood effervescent through the film. Some moments, as mentioned above, and an unnecessary lavani number by Vidya Balan are the only discordant notes in the film, everything else being spot on.

The film is about our nations obsession with cricket. How it touches the hearts of millions. Of how some of our cricketers inspire a few hundred thousand to dedicate their lives to the sport. Its about the simple but sometimes forgotten values of life. Honesty. Behaving correctly. Doing good. And about something that most current newspaper headlines make us forget. That good things happen to good people

Watched "FERRARI KI SAWAARI". Ride was just like an economical class car ride not the luxurious one. It is an average movie. Positive mouth publicity seems difficult. First few scenes are really impressive. They tried to make realistic cinema but it is not very easy. After few scenes, they kneeled down to the word cinematic liberty. They misused it very well. Even the main plot of Ferrari was very fictitious, some time at the level of being illogical. If the movie belongs to 2012 then how can one relate that an honest head clerk of R.T.O can't manage to collect one lac and fifty thousand rupees. Dialogues by Mr. Rajkumar Hirani are enjoyable. Performance of Mr. Boman Irani is par excellence. Sharman Joshi is quite good even the boy Ritwik Sahore is very good. Music is not massy or classy. They tried to put some commercial aspect by keeping an item no but not the music, choreography or performances are enjoyable. They used graphics also to lure the kids but nowadays kids are very smart. Just after watching the few frames they can easily tell that is it Spiderman part..... It will not work in single screen but in multiplexes will work till some extent but one shouldn't give credit to the film for this, it is the big banner and their reputation.

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.

The script is weak followed by an equally poor screen play by Sharman Joshi. Through the movie he is found crying and this become unbearable at the end.. Not a jolly watch as compared to the last few from Vidhu Vinod Chopra... Nothing impressive in the movie.

The movie has instance where it tries to catch pace but these patches are followed by weak links and you only hear KAYO KAYO at times.

Sharman has not acted to his potential and at last when he starts crying, it becomes impossible to bear him.

The best part is Boman Irani, he impresses with his dialogue delivery as well his aura. Drenched completely in the role, he impresses a lot. Music is OK and except the item song by Vidya Balan there is not a single line to hook onto your tongue..

In all, the story is weak and nothing could help a weak story.

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.

This is an not so good and bad but an average good film to watch. Basically it is a comedy film. If you are in stress and want to feel fresh then I refer to go and watch this movie atleast once. Story of this film is also normal but some songs and music of this film is good to listen. Overall it is average good movie to watch with your family.

My son wanted to buy me an Audi for Father's Day. His exact words to my wife when she asked him what he wanted to gift me for father's day were, "Papa ki car bahut purani ho gayi, unko Audi le dete hai". Although this has nothing to do with the movie "Ferrari ki Sawaari", I mention this incident because father-son bonding (on which the movie is based) is always an exciting and emotional topic, a topic close to the heart & filled with anecdotes like the one above.

"Ferrari ki Sawaari" starts of exactly like a Ferrari with great momentum, promising to be an interesting ride with the father-son duo as the main characters. But, somewhere down the line, the movie fails to keep up the initial momentum and though a great topic it lacks the quick wit and punch-lines which is a signature of Vidhu Vinod Chopra production (Munnabhai series & 3 Idiots).

There are some great moments in the movie, like the one where Sharman Joshi's character goes to a traffic constable to pay a fine for jumping a signal which no one saw, just to show the value of honesty to his son. Or, when he breaks a piggy bank to buy a cricket bat for his son and deliver it in the middle of a match. The movie revolves around this father son (& grandfather) relationship, with central theme of cricket. In India cricket and movies always generate a larger than life response and their combination is sure to win hearts of millions of Indians. "Ferrari ki Sawaari" also exploits this formula well, added to it the emotional connect between father and son, which deliver some tear jerking moments too.

Sharman Joshi is brilliant as a middle class hardworking, sometimes helpless, father and most fathers will connect with him at some level. Ritwik as Kayo and his son delivers an impactful and subtle performance. Boman Irani as usual is in his element as a grandfather (and an ex- Ranji cricketer) who feels he has been short-changed in life.

But for me something was amiss in this whole movie which failed to make an impact and leave me with an after-taste. The plot moves a little slowly, seems dull & going around in circles at some point. Besides the 3 main characters, other characters fail to support them effectively and appear patchy at places. The much talked about Vidya Balan's item number lacks the thrust and fails to deliver.

I enjoyed the movie at places but was not able to take it back home with me.

It's a good family watch. Good story line, good acting, no loose ends and has good message. We need to promote these kind of movies. Highly recommend.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari review :

Ferrari ki Sawaari is a sweet feel good family entertainer. Simplistic story, relatable characters, underplayed humour are some of its rare virtues. Any hiccups?!! Well, maybe the sluggish pace in second half. But that's easily excusable as the film manages to bring a smile on your face and cheer you up thoroughly. In short, good!!

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

Very very rare are the totally simplified films these days in the era of exaggerated and technology oriented movie making. Ferrari ki sawari is one such film that really makes you believe that simple movie making does really exist.

Okay, now for the performances, Sharman Joshi gives a fabulous performance as the dad going to any deapth to uplift his talented son. However the real show stealer is none other than Boman Irani.

Irani plays his role with such honesty and explicitly that one can't help but can either admire him or relate with him. His is simply phenomenal.

Supporting both the actors is this young kid who plays the role of the son of Sharman. He is just amazing!

Oh yes! Not to mention Paresh Rawal in a brief surprising role.

Overall this film is really worth watching!

Ferrari Ki Sawaari (U)------------------Rating: 3/5

A comedical drama ride of ferrariii..... cast and music was great especially the ferrari used in this movie is of Mrs.SACHIN TENDULKAR...... fulfilled humour which entertains a lot...... on the go the movie is not upto the mark...... children might love to watch this kind of films......

To fulfill his son's dream of playing at Lord's cricket ground, the honest and upright Rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life. He borrows a gleaming red Ferrari. Just for one hour. The only trouble - he doesn't inform its owner!A wild, breathless, bumpy ride begins!Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a heartwarming story of small guys and their big dreams.

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.
