Farzi is a crime drama thriller show directed by krishna dk and raj nidimoru.
Shahid kapoor as sunny is outstanding. He portrays a calm yet very ambitious character superbly. Also, shahid possesses a certain mumbai swag in him which he channelizes exceptionally. Vijay sethupathi plays michael and plays it effortlessly. He is nonchalant, careless, but extremely dedicated and workaholic. Vijay's comic timing is very laidback yet effective. Bhuvan arora as firoz shines through the screens. His chemistry with shahid will be remebered for years to come. Both have worked it out so beautifully. Kay kay menon, on the other hand, is a comic ruthless gangster. Whenever kay kay and shahid come together on screen, its fireworks. Ask vishal bharadwaj about haider if you doubt it. Rashi khanna was good, a polite yet dedicated RBI officer. Amol palekar as nanu will surely bring a wide smile on your face as he has done over the long years. The performances are extremely competetive.
The writing in this series is of gold standard. The characters that the makers have etched out is outstanding. You see the characters of sunny and firoz, you feel for them from the first episode itself. Beaten by the system, they want to make a cut by hook or by crook. Michael has personal problems with his wife, you see that he has failed as a husband and father but still you feel for him because of the performance and also due to the context of it. The chemistry between michael and pawan gahlot works big time. They have got the most hilarious and meme worthy dialogues between them. Zakir hussain has played the minister wonderfully.
The commentary this series makes about the system and its corruption, red tapism is very relevant and contemporary. The divisions of class, economic strata divide, how it gives context to people's actions is written beautifully. The screenwriting is a masterclass in itself. For instance, during a chase, the police go back and forth between their car and the perperators in the mumbai traffic. The way the makers have made space for humour in the direst of situations is outstanding. The comedy in general is terrific, this makes farzi a raj and dk show. Also, the detailing and research that has gone behind the notes and currency, its making techniques, the technicalities is marvellous.
The music is astounding as well. The score consists of the generic beats, the synth portions, and it elevates the series further. The music is also pretty good. 'Paisa hai toh', 'fark nai padta', 'sab farzi' are peppy numbers while 'aasmaan' is such a soulful indie vibe. You will like the music for sure. The cinematography is great. There are no speciifc raj and dk long shots but the way the camera angles have been handled gives the premiumness to the show.
The dialogues in this show is just hilarious and outstanding. The scenes between michael and pawan have been largely elevated due to the dialogues.
If we are to say negatives, then i wish the love story between sunny and megha would have been handled better. I mean every character and their chemistry got a closure barring that aspect. So yeah, this is one outstanding show. I rate it 9.5.
