“Finding Fanny”, for all its flaws, is a rarity in Bollywood. A not-too-long English film with characters you would not find easily. If only Adajania had the courage to go all the way and tell the full story of these five characters, it would have been a great film.

Go watch the film for its wealth of quirky characters dealing with everyday crisis and emerging richer in the process. It will surely put a smile to your face, if nothing else…

With so much going for ‘Finding Fanny’, make sure you’d step out and hitch a ride with this mad bunch and go on their road-trip because it’s truly one-of-a-kind.

For those who like the saccharine and stereotype-powered Bollywood romances, the turnaround comes too late. For those who like quirk, the ending is a disappointment because it jars against what Adajania has in the rest of the film.

…is a cute entertainer but it has appeal for the class audience only, that too, in the big cities only. It will do well in very select multiplexes of the major cities mainly. But its business in lesser multiplexes, single-screen cinemas and in centres other than the big cities will be very dull. Overall, the film will garner critical acclaim but its economics will not bring a smile on anybody’s face. The English version will fare far better than the dubbed version.

Lots of sweet, not enough bitters, and one great Dimple…It’s a they-are-crazy-but-not-dangerous giggle-fest, with as many repeat-worthy jokes in Goan English as there are cashew trees in the state. Since this is also India’s European corner, the sun-blessed land of laidback, where time can stretch onto eternity or to the 105-minute duration of this movie, Finding Fanny never dares to disappoint.

Adajania brings in an arresting story, great atmospherics, and memorable character superbly acted by the cast. All this with a sprinkling of some deliciously wicked humour. This little, big film is all heart. You shouldn’t miss it!

Things get untangled rather easily towards the end making one feel that Homi hasn’t paid heed to don Podro’s advice – ‘In art there is no compromise.’ Still there are many reasons to get lost!

While typical Bollywood ‘masala’ films are trying to chase the 100 crore club, this off-beat movie Finding Fanny makes an attempt to highlight human emotions in a much more realistic and philosophical manner.

Although some of the jokes and sharp dialogues were lost in translation and that’s a tragedy, but don’t stop yourself from watching Finding Fanny. You will surely feel like a breath of fresh air.

Finding Fanny is a refreshing break from typical Bollywood ‘masala’ flicks.

Finding Fanny would have been an extremely low-budget NFDC-produced festival-friendly arthouse film with a set of talented NSD graduates. But here with Fox Star Studios pumping in a lot of money and Homi getting his superstar friends to star in it, this has been pitched as the big Bolly release of the week. Well, if you’re just a Deepika fan you might find Fanny, but otherwise your search for the fun weekend film might run out of fuel.
