Ferrari ki Sawaari is not just a film . It’s a  roller coaster of emotions. In just 140 minutes you will experience hope, happiness , excitement ,anger and in the end  the same joy which you feel when a loved one’s dreams are fulfilled .

The USP of the film is the bonding between Sharman Joshi and Ritvik Sahore .The choice of the characters is so good that Ritvik actually looks like Sharman’s son. The film takes us into a world of father and son where a  RTO clerk’s only dream is to fulfill his son’s dreams . In the world which runs through cell phones the scene where  Sharman buys a cell phone in the hope of getting a  loan to finance his son’s wish of going to the prestigious training camp at Lords tells about the simplicity of his character.

Boman Irani who plays the role of  Sharman’s father has proved once again that he is a very versatile actor. In the first half  he plays the role of a frustrated old man who has lost his battles, he walks slowly  ,dresses shabbily and keeps sulking. All that changes when he realizes that his grandson is a talented batsman .

There are other characters too, a local corporator and his  soon-to-be-married son ,a desperate housekeeper and his security guard , and  a wedding planner who has  promised the corporator that his son’s baraat will go on 560 horses that is a  Ferari . Paresh Rawal has a small but vital  role as Boman’s childhood  friend who betrayed him to get success .   

The end scene was a bit dramatic when Sharman  appeals on TV to everyone to search for his missing son . But aren’t we all over protective where our children are concerned ?

I read in the film’s wikipedia page that the film’s idea came to  Rajesh Mapuskar’ s mind during the post-production work of Lage Raho Munna Bhai, when for an advertising assignment he went out looking for expensive cars in Mumbai and  he found them all except a Ferrari.   

In a line if you share a bond with your children you must watch this film so that they know even when you are very busy in your day to day life  family is still the first priority .
