Sharman Joshi's hard work pays off
Sharman Joshi starrer ‘Ferrari Ki Sawaari’, which opened to mixed reviews last week, has thus far been successful at the Box Office. The film was director Rajesh Mapuskar’s debut project, and the way, in which the film has been gaining popularity with the audience, Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions are only too happy. Pitted against blockbuster ‘Rowdy Rathore’, and ‘Shanghai’ that released in the previous weeks, ‘Ferrari Ki Sawaari’ hadn’t been able to make much of an impact in the beginning, and received mediocre reviews from critics. However, with its first weekend at the Box Office, the film has been riding high on the popularity meter, and has begun being steadily liked by viewers, Zee News reports.

According to trade analysts, the film has taken off at a 25 to 30 percent start, which, going by the fact that it is purely content-driven and doesn’t rely only on star power, is a good enough beginning. The Ferrari and its riders have pulled this one off and people are flocking theatres to watch Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani and Ritvik Sahore zoom on the red machine!


Performances
Sharman Joshi has amassed immense exaltation for his acting skills, but FERRARI KI SAWAARI will make people sit and notice his reach and range as an actor. Sharman adjoins prodigious appraisal to the character with his exuberant act in a number of sequences. Watch him rend the piggy bank, his rummaging for the bat in the shop, the emotional scenes and of course, the upheaval in the finale. What an incredibly awe-inspiring act! 

With a variety of roles and multifariousness to his credit, he is one actor who fits into any role consummately. In FERRARI KI SAWAARI, Boman Irani delivers one of the finest, accomplished and dexterous acts. Watch the scene when he pounces on Sharman when he learns of the grandchild's plans of playing cricket. Also, the sequence with Paresh Rawal is astounding. It stays with you much after the curtains fall. There's one more sequence that deserves to be highlighted: When he offers to play cricket with his grandchild in the middle of the night. Sparkling performance indeed! 

Ritwik Sahore is a brilliant discovery. The youngster is cast opposite some of the finest talents of the country and the kid stands up to them in every sequence. He is charming and endearing in the light moments and sparks up the goings-on in moments of anxiety. Paresh Rawal is superb in a cameo. Vidya Balan ignites the screen with her lavani number. 

The supporting cast is tremendous. Each one of them -- Seema Pahwa [superb], Satyadeep Misra [effective], Aakash Dabhade [fantastic], Deepak Shirke [first-rate], Nilesh Divekar [good] and Vijay Nikam [terrific] -- is sure to be noticed. 

On the whole, FERRARI KI SAWAARI is a noble film, a film that has its heart in the right place. It's well-intended and sincere and it goes about its business with incredible earnestness. Of course, the film has its share of hiccups, but then all films do, right? But keeping the fault-finding apart, FERRARI KI SAWAARI is an accomplished effort. It's that exceptional film that communicates a point and tells a sensitive story in those 2.10 hours. This heartwarming, tender and sprightly film should not be missed.
