Farzi Review: Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi's series is an ... (India Today)

Farzi dropped on Amazon Prime Video on February 10. Directed by Raj and DK, the series stars Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi and Kay Kay Menon in lead roles ...

The series hints at it with Vijay Sethupathi's Michael collaborating with a certain undercover agent from Raj and DK's espionage world. Vijay Sethupathi, who we have seen play cops before, is remarkable as Michael, a cop who, in his words, is 'not loyal to the government but his work'. Mansoor's character might not be something out of the box, but Kay Kay Menon's gangster act is top class. While he played a scammer 12 years ago in Badmaash Company, the actor is more consistent with his performance now. They create fake currency that is so close to the original that it is nearly impossible to tell the difference. The Amazon Prime Video original series might be about farzi notes, but the concept is totally original.

Farzi Review: Vijay Sethupathi Sets The Bar High, Shahid Kapoor's ... (NDTV)

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna, Amol Palekar, Kubbra Sait, Regina Cassandra, Bhuvan Arora, Chittranjan Giri, ...

Farzi tests the aphorism on itself and lives to tell the tale with most of its bearings firmly in place - not a mean feat at all. The criminal and the cop struggle to hold on to the people closest to them. The presence of Vijay Sethupathi lends the series a great deal of heft and sets the bar very high. Shahid Kapoor digs his teeth deep into the meaty central role and delivers a performance that is remarkable for its sustained restraint. It is a tangled tale of transgressions that is never ever in danger of veering off course. It takes the face-off between the law-breakers and the sleuths to another level. He prints his own cash, cocking a snook at a system at the mercy of the wealthy and the powerful. A covert government operation in Kathmandu to nab counterfeiter Mansoor Dalal (Kay Kay Menon) goes awry and the target escapes. So, with the help of his childhood buddy Firoz (Bhuvan Arora), he generates his own counterfeit cash and bails out the magazine. He enlists the help of his grandpa's manager, the avuncular Yasir (Chittaranjan Giri), as his counterfeiting business grows. [Farzi](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/my-character-in-farzi-is-like-a-fruit-salad-a-mix-of-everything-says-vijay-sethupathi-3716408), streaming on Amazon Prime Video, isn't the sort of show that strings together action sequences and shootouts simply for mere visceral effect. However, thanks to a gripping storyline, the uniformly-paced series sustains its momentum within the individual chapters and across all its eight parts.

Farzi Review: Shahid Is Too Showy! (Rediffmail)

In Farzi, they pull off the terrific casting of Amol Palekar, Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi and Kay Kay Menon, who provide good reasons to watch it. The ...

But the series keeps derailing itself going into Michael's troubled marriage to Rekha (Regina Cassandra) and estrangement from his nerdy kid he wants to 'turn into a man'. He charms Sunny by paying for the grandpa's brain surgery, and after a point, when needs are taken care of, greed takes over. Sunny is an excellent artist but has to manage with small change, selling paintings on the street to haggling morons. It is only a matter of time before Mansoor finds and recruits Sunny and Firoz to make currency notes for him. Their film and television work has been unpredictable so far. Then, the press is in danger of shutting down due to debts and Sunny gets the bright idea of using his artistic skills, Firoz and Yasir's printing expertise, to make counterfeit notes.

Farzi review: Inimitable Vijay Sethupathi livens up show that is in ... (The Indian Express)

Remember how counterfeiting or 'jaali-note-ka-dhanda' used to keep popping up in Bollywood potboilers? You may not become an expert in spotting fake notes ...

Kay Kay Menon, sharp haircut and colourful shirts to the fore, is clearly having a blast. Even a couple of smart things that the writers do– sneaking in a snarky sequence about pet TV anchors who toe the official line, for one– gets lost in this tad-tadaahat of gaalis. It isn’t as if the boyish good-looking Kapoor, who is front and centre in the narrative, is not efficient. The series slips in the fact of demonetisation, and of how corruption was meant to be curbed with the new notes, by slyly giving us corrupt, power-hungry netas (one is an MLA from, um, Gujarat; the other one, played by Zakir Hussain, gets a lot more screen time). But the new eight-part Amazon series, in which [Shahid Kapoor](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/pankaj-kapur-neelima-azeem-vishal-bhardwaj-pankaj-tripathi-farzi-screening-photos-8435247/) makes his OTT debut, does come up with a ready reckoner on things most of us didn’t know much about– the kind of paper a genuine note uses, the artistry involved in the design, the printing and distribution, and the deadly danger involved in the whole operation. The other main track belongs to the law enforcement unit, headed by the hot-headed Michael Vednayagam (Vijay Sethupathi), which is busy tracking the dastards responsible for this ‘financial terrorism’.

But one cannot ignore the fact that it is also walking a path already taken without much of uniqueness. The love he gives and gets is all farzi and add to it the fact that he feels all of that is real and reality is boring. Sunny gets three motivation points throughout the show to do the bad job and they all circle down to his grandfather but the climax for the latter comes so weirdly that it feels forced. He has a brain condition that makes him lose his memory but that doesn’t affect the main scheme of things at all after a point. A righteous man who hates to take the corrupt route and has the ambition to make a righteous society. Playing a character that will eventually become a villain but will also stay the central part and is also not morally right but understanding that money doesn’t bring class is a tough task. At one point he blackmails a top-order minister and you have to see that scene to understand his range. Dialogues don’t seem like written to read but feel like a conversation and that connects a viewer the most. He has the charm to make you laugh and also feel his emotions when he wants to. It is their writing that tries to give the antagonist a story that not only keeps him/her in one tone part but develop a character that speaks to the audience. It is interesting to see the writing trying to use the first season as an introduction to the world of Farzi and the story of his motivation to become a rouge killer. Sunny (Shahid Kapoor) is an interesting character that has spent most of his existence in South Bombay, right beside the most iconic spot of the city, the CSMT station.

He is terrific in the role of Sunny & his performance will take you to the vibes of his role in Kaminey & Badmaash Company. One of the netizen wrote, "#chellam sir is back in #Farzi and yeah it is going to be another universe #RDU Raj and Dk Universe." "Our hero is a flawed person. Another user wrote that the series lives up to the expectation, and Farzi is at par with Manoj Bajpayee-starrer The Family Man. A few netizens wrote that although Shahid gave a noteworthy performance, his role gave them a solid throwback to the actor's earlier hits Kaminey and Badmaash Company. The much-awaited series from director-duo Raj and DK's universe, Farzi, is out, and so are the netizens' reactions.

Farzi Review: Shahid Kapoor And Vijay Sethupathi's Fake 'Money ... (News18)

When the stamp of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, better known as Raj and DK is printed on a project, you cannot help but set expectations from it.

Having seen him and Shahid share the screen in Haider in 2014, Farzi gives him and their on-screen bond a makeover that you end up rooting for. The writing is brilliantly supported by the screenplay and dialogues. Despite the focus on nuances, Raj and DK returned to a few old tricks of their books. Raj and DK smartly lay out the character, his backstory, and the future that is ahead of him in stages that help you connect with Sunny. The first half of the series is heavily focused on getting the concept of counterfeiting right that it begins to feel like a tutorial for those who are unaware of the subject. Farzi does carry the burden of expectations of the hit series but after eight hours of binge-watching, I realised that while The Family Man has its own benchmark, Farzi tries and almost successfully leaves a mark of its own.

'Farzi' review: A slick show about one of the oldest con games in town (Scroll.in)

Raj & DK direct Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna, Amol Palekar, Bhuvan Arora and Regina Cassandra.

Could it be the pressure of delivering dialogue – and swear words – in Hindi? The connection between Sunny and Firoz ensures that Shahid Kapoor has a worthy sparring partner in Bhuvan Arora. In its dying breaths, Farzi resembles every other overstretched crime series that’s having too much fun to shut out the lights on a party that has long ended. It’s only in the fourth episode that Farzi layers a routine cat-and-mouse game with some degree of emotional complexity. In the bargain, a boatload of cliches sail into view – a promising young man forced by circumstance into crime, honest government officers who sacrifice their personal lives for a cause, a flamboyant villain, an ultra-loyal best friend. Sunny is a gentleman crook, of course.

Shahid Kapoor's Farzi review (Firstpost)

When a financial crunch hits you really don't know how to deal with it and you are not in your senses to differentiate between moral and immoral and Farzi ...

Follow us on [also read] [Entertainment](https://www.firstpost.com/category/entertainment) [Inaugural Lollapalooza India 2023 ends on a high with a footfall of over 60,000 across 2 days](https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/inaugural-lollapalooza-india-2023-ends-on-a-high-with-a-footfall-of-over-60000-across-2-days-12072102.html) Filmmakers Raj and DK have an unconventional way of treating stories, they get into the heart of that world they are trying to portray and they let the story marinate before reaching the final plot. Sunny is such a brilliant artist that he and his friend create fake currency notes with every minute detail which is so close to the original that it is difficult to differentiate between the real and the fake. Such is the situation of the middle class or the middle finger class of our country who are there, but still not there. Unhappy with the divide between the haves and the have-nots, Sunny (Shahid Kapoor) and his friend Firoz (Bhuvon Arora) try hard to keep the newspaper of his grandfather (Amol Palekar), Kranti alive and the series shows how financial crunch takes him to the world of fake currencies. Very clearly the web series shows that we aspire for things which we don’t get easily in life and how the middle class or the middle finger class as Sunny (Shahid Kapoor) rightly puts it are always neck deep in loans. First comes education loans, then comes bike or car loans to go to office, then marriage loan, then loan for having kids and finally home loan which throws you on the roads throughout your life paying all of them. [Shahid Kapoor](https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/exclusive-shahid-kapoor-on-farzi-i-have-lived-the-life-of-a-middle-class-or-the-middle-finger-class-boy-in-real-life-12126672.html)’s Farzi, that engaging is the show. The plot of Farzi was intriguing and the performances of all the actors were solid. And nobody can deny that India is one of the biggest markets for fake items of art, fashion, beauty products and gadgets. Not just Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, K K Menon, Amol Palekar, Rashi Khanna took us to the fake world of Farzi and got us effortlessly entangled in their stories and backstories. His grandson (Shahid Kapoor), a gifted artist who has a painful backstory where his father abandons him in a train has a different outlook towards life.

'Farzi' Review: Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi Spar in a Sly ... (The Quint)

'Farzi', starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, is a gripping thriller about two young men whose immoral revolution pushes them into a world of crime.

But is it a gripping and meaty thriller worth your time? Because the truth is worth it.) Every character in Farzi is granted the same respect, except maybe the lead gets greater focus, and every actor steals the show. Is Farzi a binge-worthy experience? However, the show relies on its strong writing (sometimes amateurish cussing aside) to keep a viewer hooked. He is their caretaker, educator, and moral compass.

शाहिद की मौजूदगी भले ही सीरीज में स्टार पावर जोड़ती है परंतु इसे परिवार-बच्चों के साथ नहीं देखा जा सकता. उसे अपने आस-पास के लोगों की चिंता है. पुलिस उसके पीछे है और कैसे वह बच निकलता है और कैसे सनी के साथ उसका कनेक्शन बैठता है. सीरीज में देश की अर्थव्यवस्था को बर्बाद करने वाले नकली नोटों की पृष्ठभूमि में पुलिस-अपराधियों की लड़खड़ाने वाली रेस को बीच में आने वाले कलाकार संभालते हैं. हर फर्जी चीज को असली की टक्कर में खड़ी करने वाले सनी के सामने यहां पुलिस अफसर माइकल (विजय सेतुपति) है. माइकल की कहानी सैकड़ों फिल्मों या दर्जनों वेब सीरीज में नजर आने वाले पुलिस अफसरों की कहानी जैसी है. उन्हीं से सनी के खून में चित्रकारी की कला आई है और क्रांति के इरादे भी. सीरीज लंबी है और जाली नोटों के तार से कहानी को बुना गया है. सनी सिर्फ बातों-इरादों में ही नहीं धीरे-धीरे अपने काम में भी सिस्टम के खिलाफ होता जाता है. सनी की नकली पेंटिंग बिल्कुल असली जैसी होती है और यही आर्ट उसे जाली नोट डिजाइन करने और नाना के प्रिंटिंग प्रेस में छापने का रास्ता दिखाता है. वह किसी भी पेंटिंग को हू-ब-हू दूसरे कैनवास पर उतारता है और लगातार सिस्टम में अमीर-गरीब के भेद की बात करता है. अच्छी कास्टिंग और काफी हद तक कसी हुई अच्छी राइटिंग के बावजूद फर्जी के मेकर्स माइकल का किरदार रचने में गच्चा खा गए.

'Farzi' season one review: Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi are ... (The Hindu)

The brooding intensity and impish charm of Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi provide plenty of goosebumps moments and a lot to chuckle about, ...

Curiously, the writers have spent hours in explaining the business of counterfeit currency, but have left the nuts and bolts of the story loose. In between, there is a staple but well-written track where Sunny infiltrates into the crack team through Megha (Rashii Khanna), an expert on counterfeit currency, who could see through the sham, but fumbles when it comes to matters of the heart. His family story is not even half as riveting as that of Shrikant Tiwari, but Sethupathi ensures that it remains palatable till Michael shares notes with Tiwari in the next season. As his ego and ambition get the better of him, Sunny gets sucked into a black hole as we get an insight into how a man gets consumed by circumstances. Farzi feels more like the work of a magician who repeats his trick on the market’s demand. Here, as the anti-hero Sunny, he remarkably blends brooding intensity with an impish smile in a role that has shades of his real life.

Farzi Review: 'फर्जी' में मिलेगा 'फैमिली मैन' का फ्लेवर,देखें या नहीं शाहिद कपूर- विजय सेतुपति ...

ऐसे ही कई सवालों के लिए आपको ये वेब सीरीज देखनी होगी। देखें या नहीं: फर्जी, 8 एपिसोड्स की एक वेब सीरीज है, जो दूसरे सीजन के लिए कई हिंट्स छोड़ जाती है। राज एंड डीके निर्देशित इस सीरीज को आप वीकेंड में अपने दोस्तों या फैमिली के साथ एन्जॉय कर सकते हैं। ये सीरीज भी द फैमिली मैन की तरह है, जो धीरे धीरे अपना असर दिखाती है और आखिर तक आपको काफी ज्यादा एक्साइटिड कर देती है। क्या है कहानी: वेब सीरीज फर्जी की कहानी सनी (शाहिद कपूर) और उसके दोस्त फिरोज (भुवन अरोड़ा) की है, जिनकी जिंदगी में कई समस्याएं हैं। सनी एक आर्टिस्ट है और पेंटिन्ग्स बेच कर ही गुजारा करता है। सनी के नाना जी (अमोल पालेकर) एक मैग्जीन चलाते हैं, जो कर्ज में डूबी है। क्रांति मैग्जीन को कर्ज से निकालने और अपनी लाइफ बेहतर करने के लिए सनी- फिरोज गलत रास्ता चुनते हैं और नकली नोट बनाना शुरू करते हैं। इसके बाद इनको मंसूर (केके मेनन) का साथ मिलता है। इनको रोकने के लिए माइकल (विजय सेतुपति) मैदान में होते है, जिनका साथ मेघा (राशी खन्ना) देती हैं। एक ओर जहां मेघा और सनी रिलेशनशिप में आ जाते हैं, तो दूसरी ओर माइकल की पर्सनल लाइफ में भी काफी दिक्कते हैं। इस बीच अब कैसे सनी का काला धंधा बढ़ता है और कैसे माइकल इसे रोकते हैं, यही है फर्जी की कहानी। सनी जीतता है या हारता है?

Prime Video's 'Farzi': TV Review (Variety)

Prime Video's 'Farzi' is the first of Indian filmmaking duo Raj & DK's projects to feel like a tired imitation, rather than its own, vital thing.

Yet they seem, for the moment, to have exhausted their bag of tricks: “Farzi” is the first of the pair’s projects to feel counterfeit itself, a tired imitation rather than its own, vital thing. As in “The Family Man”, the showrunners do some of their strongest work in collaboration with their location manager (Rahul Balmiki here), identifying underfilmed avenues and alleyways for their characters to duck into and run around. “Farzi” remodels a star into a character actor, a far less dynamic trajectory. It takes two episodes to source the right paper for counterfeiting; it takes three to assemble the task force to track the counterfeiters down. “Farzi” pushes its luck from the off with its uncommonly generic, get-rich-or-die-trying plot. In theory, that slate should be bolstered further by the return of nifty genre technicians Raj & DK – writer-director-producers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K.

The ethical conundrums of criminal activity is something the story and the characters should convey to us, without the lazy way out of being preached at throughout a slickly made thriller. The emotional tug-of-war between Sunny and his grandfather drags down the pacing of the show in an unconvincing attempt to add heart to the story. For the rest of us, it sounds like a dramatised reading of an unfiltered, poorly written blog. But Farzi hits its dullest point when it insists on sermonising to the audience, again through Sunny’s omnipresent mind voice, about the follies of greed and counterfeiting money. Michael’s backstory about being an “encounter specialist” and the journalist who exposed him reflects the tendency of Indian cinema to felicitate such measures as heroism. Farzi also offers Michael, a Christian character, in the lead and Firoz, a Muslim character, in an important supporting role, without using the stereotypes multiple cinema industries including Bollywood and Kollywood frequently dole out. It’s also a relief to watch a well-written Tamil character in a Hindi production, even though that bar is quite low for Bollywood, particularly considering the depiction of Indian and Eelam Tamils in The Family Man. It’s easy to see a young man, disillusioned with the hand dealt to him. Overall, Farzi is an engaging thriller with messy politics, except when the emotional and romantic tracks bring the pacing to a soulless drag. Then there’s the question why Farzi had to offer a take on demonetisation at all, if it had nothing valuable to add to the conversation. He takes to it with a certain panache and swagger that makes you root for him. It even offers an interesting minor antagonist in the form of a performatively patriotic politician, constantly chasing headlines that can help him clinch elections, than caring about national welfare.

Farzi Review: ब्रेकिंग बैड का "फ़र्ज़ी" वर्शन है ये बेस्वाद वेब सीरीज (News18 इंडिया)

ब्रेकिंग बैड (Breaking Bad) में केमिस्ट्री पढ़ाने वाले एक स्कूल टीचर को कैंसर हो जाता है.

आखिरी सीन में जब थक हार कर वो ट्रैन में चढ़ जाता है तो उसकी आँखों में ही सब कुछ बयान हो जाता है. ज़ाकिर हुसैन को देख कर हंसी आती ही आती है लेकिन बेबी फिल्म में मुरली शर्मा का किरदार अगर याद हो तो ये कुछ उसी मिज़ाज का किरदार लगता है. जिस अभिनेता ने प्रभावित किया है वो है भुवन अरोरा। वो शाहिद कपूर के किरदार का दोस्त भी है, फिलोसोफर भी है, कुछ हद तक गाइड भी है यानि मुन्ना भाई का सर्किट है. पुलिस से बचने के लिए रास्ते में नोट उड़ाने का तरीका हो या पुलिस चीफ के कमरे में ट्रांसमीटर छुपाने तक (फ़र्ज़ी में राशि खन्ना के फ़ोन में टैपिंग सॉफ्टवेयर इनस्टॉल कर के)…ऐसी कई बातें हैं जो कि फ़र्ज़ी को ब्रेकिंग बैड का भारतीय वर्शन बनाती हैं. रेजिना कसेंड्रा की एक फ्लॉप और बोरिंग वेब सीरीज “जांबाज़ हिंदुस्तान के” हाल ही में रिलीज़ हुई है. अजय देवगन के साथ उन्हें रुद्रा नाम की वेब सीरीज में प्रमुख भूमिका में देखा गया है. शाहिद से इतने काम की उम्मीद तो की ही जाती है जबकि वो इस से ज़्यादा काबिल हैं. ये बात बताना इसलिए ज़रूरी है कि पूरी प्रोसेस में काफी समय लगता है और प्रिंटिंग की प्रोसेस होते समय कोई प्रेस के अंदर आ जाये तो मशीन को छू कर, मशीन पर चढ़ी प्लेट को और आस पास बिखरे टेस्ट रन के पेपर देख के समझ सकता है कि क्या चल रहा है, क्या छप रहा है. शाहिद और फिरोज (कमाल के अभिनेता भुवन अरोरा) जब नोटों के पहाड़ पर बैठते हैं या जब वो नोट छाप रहे होते हैं और अचानक पुलिस आ जाती है तो शाहिद अपने हाथ में बड़ा पाना ले कर उसे मारने की सोचने लगता है और फिर बड़े अफसर का फ़ोन आने से पुलिस को जाना पड़ता है, बिना छापा मारे तो एक दम ब्रेकिंग बैड नज़र आता है. अपने एक पुराने खुराफाती स्टूडेंट की मदद से वो अपने केमिस्ट्री के ज्ञान का इस्तेमाल एक बेहतरीन ड्रग बनाने के लिए करता है. जब शाहिद कपूर कहता है कि वो जो भी कर रहा है वो उसे अंदर से गलत नहीं लग रहा तो हमें ब्रेकिंग बैड के ब्रायन क्रैंस्टन की याद आ ही जाती है. जब दो सॉफ्टवेयर इंजीनियर सब कुछ छोड़ के फिल्म या वेब सीरीज बनाते हैं तो उम्मीद होती है कि उनकी एप्रोच कुछ इसी तरह की होगी.

Farzi Web Series Review (123Telugu.com)

Release Date : February 10, 2023. 123telugu.com Rating : 3.25/5. Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, ...

On the whole, Farzi is Engaging. Coming to the director duo Raj and DK, they have done a good job with Farzi. However, the editing, as stated earlier, is average. At times the show slows down considerably, and the editing team could have shortened the length to enhance the viewing experience. When a show or a film is made with a bunch of artists, it is tough to strike a balance between all the characters. She got more scope to perform, and the actress was apt in the role. The action part is also nicely conceived with style. Shahid is the soul of Farzi, around whom the entire plot revolves. Mansoor Dalal (Kay Kay Menon), a kingpin in the world of counterfeiting, notices the mastery of Sunny and makes him a part of his business. He deploys a separate team for the same, and Megha (Raashii Khan) is a part of it. Kay Kay Menon is good as the baddie. Starring some of the immensely talented artists like Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, and Raashii Khanna in crucial roles, the show is currently available for streaming.
