Homi Adjania is the director whose ‘class of art’ people wait to see. Finding Fanny is one such helluva ride which would keep a smile on your face throughout giving you few snippets of philosophy that will make you ponder upon. Without boasting much – they somewhere knock your door to broaden your horizon of thoughts. At times you have to make an extra effort to love someone.
So here you go; put an extra effort to love this ride for which your expectations may be high – Fanny who doesn’t exist yet wins over your heart with the class acts coming from Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur & Dimple Kapadia.
It’s a journey which begins in the search of Fanny – It’s the age old story of those snail mails when emails were not in the era. There was one such letter sent to the love which comes back to Ferdi(Naseeruddin Shah) which breaks his heart and makes him wander to many “what-if’s” which they go out to look for. Deepika Padukone here decides with the snippet of philosophy that your life is meant to help others first – with this thought they move on to the ride in search of Fanny. On this ride you have the class Pankaj Kapur aka Pedro who is mad behind the thunder thighs; mad about Dimple or rather say horny about Dimple – yes the movie does touches some parts of the black comedy which doesn’t really seem to be filthy. It’s more of getting into the skin of the characters bringing the originality. That’s what Homi is known for.
And yes you have the driver(Arjun Kapoor) with the broken heart & probably someone who would have done little better – with some good pun on the word BETTER in the movie that is something for you to FIND out watching Finding Fanny.
Somewhere in this journey; hearts meet; there is a realization; there is a confession; there is a denial; the chemistry between Arjun & Deepika may miss the steam but the growing bond amongst the Dimple & Naseeruddin Shah is something to vouch for. What puts all this together is the brilliant Cinematography by Anil Mehta & growing background music score does it all – these crafts play an important role to craft a Not so Existing Fanny of a marque.
Although the movie may not have a wider audience considering the genre this one is made for. Yet if you have a flair to try something different – this one definitely has the potential to keep you engage & entertained with its sheer state of craft. And yes it’s Deepika who roared from Homi Adjania’s Cocktail yet again seems to be as fresh as lily post the super success of her Leela Avatar. From Ghagras to mini’s now – it’s great watching her line of art. Deepika’s lucky mascot Ranveer Singh has a no dialogue minuscule role – yet his energy is contagious; his funkiness brings a smile on your face watching him.
So what steals the show in #findingFanny is not fanny it’s Ferdi (Naserruddin Shah) – This is the man you will find adding up yet another feather on his hat with his amazing persona which is class apart from the era he belongs to.
