Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Critic reviews and ratings
-
What tosses in its favour is the uniqueness of the concept...
-
...is worth a watch in the theaters, just for the love with which it is put together and the warmth with which you come out.
-
...a noble film, a film that has its heart in the right place. Its well-intended and sincere and it goes about its business with incredible earnestness.
-
...a full family entertainment flick.
-
So much of Ferrari Ki Sawaari is so original, so one-of-a-kind, that part of the fun of watching the film is just seeing where it will go next.
-
...a fun ride.
-
...is a great joy ride if you avoided the minor glitches.
-
...a jolly good ride if you leave alone the flaws!
-
It may be a bumpy ride, but you'll have fun along the way as well.
-
...a well-intentioned film with its heart positioned firmly in the right place. And yet, this simple-minded tale about an ordinary family chasing an extraordinary dream never quite soars.
-
...takes us back to Planet Hirani, where even evil is basically nice. It's a world where the hero doggedly defines innocence and does a wrong turn only by chance.
-
It's a formula that rarely fails - the sort of feel-good movie that makes for perfect Sunday viewing with the whole family.
-
...tries too hard. With it's manipulative music, serendipity-dependent writing, over the top characters and it's length, it does get a little tedious.
-
Rajesh Mapuskar, take a bow. Your story is intimate, the telling is lovingly detailed.
-
The length of the film, the many, tiring twists (although nerve-wracking), a lot of emotional drama, warranted and otherwise leaves the film as a mixed bag. But just for old-world sentimentality and humour that is ticklish without being nonsensical, Ferrari ki Sawaari makes for an engaging watch.
-
One or two brilliant moments, a handful of good moments but they don't come together to give us a great film.
-
The intentions are wonderful, the result less so.
-
It is nice, but bland.
-
This competently crafted and well-intentioned cricket-themed film steers clear of many of commercial Hindi cinema’s narrative conventions - it sure gets full marks on that count - but succumbs to some of its most retreaded cliches.
-
...has heart, a time-tested premise and some good performances. It tries hard to tow the formula, and yet it’s worth a watch if you can ignore the time-consuming excess.
-
By the end of the film you’re left in a bittersweet mood, wondering if Ferrari Ki Sawaari could’ve been better.
-
Partly superlative, mostly manipulative.
-
Just doesn’t have enough fuel; too few laughs, too little spark. A limp script and a wholly forgettable soundtrack.
-
...lukewarm fare.
-
Mapuskar directs his actors with confidence and boldly shoots the films in real locations, but the movie needed to have been crisper and quicker, more Ferrari than Ambassador.
-
Caught between two stories, a kiddie cricket fantasy and an adult automobile romance, the film doesn’t work.
