This Sawaari is a joy ride with few bumpy patches , that can definitely be
ignored, considering it is an honest attempt to make a simple movie depicting
the aspiration of millions of young Indian school kids who toil hard day in day out to represent the nation and
emulate their icon Sachin. It is a movie with a heart that clearly
differentiates between right and wrong. It tries to re iterate the old world value
of “means is as important as end”. The story revolves around the relationship
between the grand father- father – son trio of Boman, Sharman & Ritvik.
Their chemistry is amazing. Sharman as an underdog, too- good -to be- true
Rustom gives a credible and coming of age performance. Boman, as always, is
extremely convincing as a grand father who is protective of his grandson. And
having been betrayed during his hey days does not want his progeny to go
through the same turbulence, till the time he gets convinced about Kayo’s
potential. Young Ritvik plays his part beautifully, keeping a balance between his
on field heroics and off field realities.
The movie starts of beautifully,
only to get predictable and sometimes a bit tardy once the Ferrari fiasco
starts. Somewhere in between it fails to project its basic theme, a common man’s
dream of scaling incredible peaks amidst innumerable hiccups, as forcefully as
it should have. The movie has unmistakable Raju Hirani signature in patches.
Wish the patches were broader!! With a tight editing and a faster pace this
Ferrari would have soared higher. Still I will go out with three out of five,
for the simple reason that it is a movie made with a good intention &simplicity
and tries to instill the importance of value system.
