Firangi
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is highly overstretched, and squanders its comic potential despite having a comedian as its hero.
-
...due to its weak script and lack of comedy Firangi fails to leave a lasting impression. Besides this, the long run time of 161 mins will leave the audiences impatient and restless.
-
The family film isn't really tacky or repulsive, it's outright boring and that's probably worse because it's not even unintentionally entertaining.
-
Neither the comic potential at the core of the film nor the energy of Kapil Sharma's antics is enough to pull it out of the irremediable mess it degenerates into. Firangi might have been harmless fun if only it had stopped short of running so hopelessly amok.
-
The trouble with this mildly engaging film, with a solid supporting cast, is that it is far too long.
-
Sharma, who is among the most talented comedians, should stick to tickling the funny bone. Even with an earnest attempt, he fails to deliver.
-
There are films that seem bearable when you go in with zero expectations and there are those that disappoint even when you're prepared to have your brains grilled. No prize for guessing which category this one falls in.
-
...this film is a wasted exercise in story-telling. It is an even more frustrating movie experience.
-
The film could have been crisper. First half is interesting, but the film loses out on its climax, which is unrealistic and funny. It is a royal mess of the highest order.
-
Firangi's persistence to club romantic overtures, non-cooperation movement mania, 19th century naiveté and con-adventure spunk in its 160 minutes running time proves to be its undoing. That's just too much to take in a movie that neither wants to be fun or funny.
-
...watch this overstretched period and mundane laughter getting challenged at your own risk.
-
The random execution of the movie fails to add anything of interest to the plot.
-
...tedious and monotonous.
-
Clearly Dhingra has his heart in the right place. What he also needed to have in place was substantive writing.
-
It's neither drama, nor comedy. Just a massive bore.
