Review: Growing up with animosity against the world, Sunny (Shahid Kapoor) was raised by his maternal grandfather after his father abandoned the family. His only family consists of his Nanu (Amol Palekar) and his best friend Firoz (Bhuvan Arora). He currently makes abstract, gorgeous paintings that he sells for next to nothing, but it’s only a matter of time until he makes the transition into the criminal underworld. Initially motivated by a desire to assist his Nanu’s venerable publication, “Kranti,” he quickly comes to recognise his own artistic potential as a master of the art of designing “Farzi” notes.

Raj and DK dive deep into an aspect of crime that has been underrepresented in film. This intriguing online series contains potentially lethal detail, from the ins and outs of producing phoney notes to how they are distributed and integrated into the system. So much so that we worry criminals would use it. The show has a genuine tone, but the creators rely heavily on cinematic conveniences that are hard to believe and even laughable at points. The fact that only a handful of excellent men and one woman appear to be committed to stopping a massive financial crime being committed in the country only adds insult to injury.

However, the story of ‘Farzi’ is told through the eyes of some truly formidable individuals. Every major player is fully realised and etched in detail. Even though their plots are intertwined, not all of them are riveting. The entire subplot with Michael Vedanayagam, an officer in the task force (played by Vijay Sethupathi), feels fairly tacked on, and consequently drags down an otherwise exciting thriller. When filmmakers go from the big to the small screen, they often get carried away with the extra time they have. This programme would have benefited greatly from some careful editing to make it more concise, fascinating, and enjoyable to watch. However, the constant thrill and surprise make this one simple to binge. The show’s scope is comparable to that of a feature film, with impressive production values, expansive outdoor settings, and illuminating cinematography (courtesy of Pankaj Kumar).

The importance of performances is also highlighted. Once again, Shahid Kapoor shines as the villainous good guy from Kaminey. In his first OTT series, the actor shines and seamlessly becomes his character. The same can be said for Vijay Sethupathi, who lends his signature approach to the role of the highly determined, rule-breaking police officer Michael. The battle between these two titanic personalities is what keeps the story moving forward with breathtaking momentum. Mansoor, the phoney note kingpin, is played by the hilarious Kay Kay Menon. The actor perfectly captures the idiosyncrasies of his role, from his flashy, ultra-chic, and metrosexual wardrobe to his kachchi Angrezi swearing. Bhuvan Arora shines in the role of Firoz, Sunny’s best friend and man Friday. The performer is a pleasant surprise, since he makes you care about Firoz very immediately. In the role of the honourable freedom fighter who places his faith in the youth of the country and his dwindling newspaper, “Kranti,” veteran actor Amol Palekar is a perfect fit. Although women are severely outnumbered by men in this narrative, Raashi Khanna shines as the ambitious young professional Megha.

Thankfully, only a handful of the many F and MC, BC terms seem out of place, which is a welcome change from the norm for such shows on OTT. Overall, the conversation is spot-on and perfectly matched to each character. Overall, the positives of ‘Farzi’ surpass the film’s minor flaws, making it a highly recommended heist thriller.

Actress Madhuri Dixit remarked on the occasion, “He (PM Modi) is taking the time to comprehend the problems of common people. This is incredible. He is reaching out to individuals in small towns and villages who are performing exemplary work without being recognized. Thus, he is bringing these individuals to the attention of all citizens, and they are gaining global recognition, which is astounding. I am certain it will motivate a great number of young people.”

Shahid Kapoor, an actor, stated, “Modi ji wanted to remain in touch with the people, which I believe is a sign of a great leader. Throughout history, the finest leaders, whether kings or prime ministers, have always remained connected to the people. There is no deeper connection than being able to express your mind and listen to other people’s words, as well as communicate your thoughts to them. I felt extremely privileged to have been invited here. It is an honor to be here.”

Director and producer Rohit Shetty remarked, “If one leader can show us the correct path, then nothing is unattainable. “As I watched, I realized how fortunate we are to have such an inspiring leader who people listen to and who inspires them, which is extremely rare.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation during the 100th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday and stated that his radio program is the “Mann Ki Baat” of millions of Indians and a manifestation of their feelings.

The Prime Minister stated that while perusing the thousands of letters and messages he received from the public, he was “overcome with emotion.” He congratulated the citizens of the country on the 100th episode of his monthly radio program, which debuted on October 3, 2014.

The 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat airs today. I’ve received thousands of letters and millions of messages. I have attempted to read through a growing number of them. On numerous occasions, I became emotional while reading your letters, was overcome by emotion, and then held myself together. You have congratulated me on the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat, but it is the listeners, our fellow citizens, who deserve the accolades. Mann Ki Baat is the “Mann Ki Baat” of millions of Indians and the expression of their sentiments, as stated by Prime Minister Modi.
