Ferrari Ki Sawaari : Starts Slow, but gains pace and get 25 crore!

Rajesh Mapuskar's comedy flick, Ferrari Ki Sawaari had started slow on the releasing day as most of the theaters had only 60% occupancy. But Eros entertainment has now come up with the collection details and the movie is said to have collected a sum of Rs. 25 crore already, which is marking it as a hit. The responses were mostly guided by the cast as Sharman Joshi did not have a big hit after '3 idiots' so it was a bit confusing for the audiences to reach back to him. But it seems that he has found the light and as we have the latest reports, more people are coming in for the movie and the latest reports mention a occupancy rate of 80% across screens.

The movie was a small budget one with under Rs. 10 crore budget has yet slammed the boxoffices for being a neat and clean family movie. Ferrari Ki Sawaari, which sees Sharman Joshi in a solo lead for the first time, is a ‘big dose of emotion and comedy’. A clean family film, Ferrari Ki Sawaari is about a young father with single motive in life that of fulfilling his son’s dream. The movie also stars ace actor Boman Irani, along with Ritwik Sahore. It is directed by debutant director Rajesh Mapuskar and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra in association with Eros International.

On Friday, the film collected Rs.3.04 crore and the collections increased to Rs.4.5 crore on Saturday and on Sunday it was Rs.6.40 crore, making a total of almost Rs.14 crore. 

Sharman Joshi was humbled by the responses that he received over the movie. "I am feeling too happy. We are very, very thankful to the people for their love. We are very humbled by the love and affection they are showing. Thank you very much," said Sharman. "In Bombay and in the whole country, every show is earning a huge collection and we are expecting Rs.25 crore in the first week and it's only going to grow bigger and stronger," he added. 

Boman Irani mentioned that he is happy for the movie and Sharman, "I would only say that after 3 Idiots, Sharman is like a family member in the Chopra camp. Sharman is a fantastic actor and it would be so unfair of our directors and producers if they don't use a talent like Sharman in our films," he said. 

"I am so happy that Sharman got this role and he essayed it so fantastically. And I feel good that such a good actor is with us," he added.

so lets sing along.. fa fa fa faa rarara riii.....its Ferrari Ki Sawaari!

Ferrari Ki Sawaari : Filled with freshness

With just one day to its release the movie 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' adds a fresh feel as the overall roles played by the actors and the director are the main factors to this. The director Rajesh Mapuskar, who had successfully ran campaigns of advertisements had decided to quit the ad industry and try his luck with movies. Together with Vidhu Vinod Chopra productions, he is now able to have a strong platform to launch his story. Mapuskar feels that it is the confidence that the producers puts on him that drives his confidence in taking the movie to the next level.

To add to the factor, Sharman Joshi takes up the lead role and this time he would be playing the role of a father who works keenly on fulfilling his son's dream. Which is again a new territory for Sharman Joshi as he has never done anything similar and as he says he never has the looks of a father! "I went through all the emotions. It was frustrating, tiring, exhausting. Factors of fear came in. It had been about two-and-half years," the 33-year-old told. Continuing about his effort for the movie and fulfilling the character he adds "But you have to deal with them if you are committed to something. It requires patience. I was not willing to short sell myself. I was looking for the right kind of work that would excite me. Quality work takes time. I am not here to put out a barrage of movies,"

“I had to convince the director that I can pull of the role (of a single parent), as I don't look like a father at all. It was very challenging for me as an actor” says the actor. 

The missing romantic side

The movie attempts to change the way story is narrated as it has mainly three characters that drive the story, that of Sharman Joshi, his son and Sharman's father, played by Boman Irani. Boman Irani's role is already much appreciated on the promo's, he plays a cranky old father. Mapuskar feels that he is glad that he has the great crew to back his story and is always obliged to Boman Irani for committing for the debut movie.

The film takes a lot of risks — it is actor Sharman Joshi’s first film as a solo protagonist, it has no romantic angle but is about a father’s quest to fulfil his young son’s dreams and it has a first-timer like Mapuskar at the helm. And in Chopra’s own words, it was considered by many as “financial suicide’’. The production house, however, went ahead to give a chance to a budding director “who had not filmed anything before” but had worked as an assistant director in the Munnabhai series and 3 Idiots.

“In Ferrari Ki Sawari, Sharman’s character does all the things a mother does for a child in a traditional Hindi film,” Irani said. Asked if the production house was relying too much on its home-grown formula that combines a humourous look at human failings and the feel-good factor, Irani said they were not “changing anything just for the heck of changing”.

“The filmmaking process is complex in which an actor is translating the director’s vision on screen,” said Irani, adding that he can get into the skin of the character he is essaying through keen observation and exploring the theme in depth.

Ask Sharman if he hates doing the usual romantic hero role in the Hindi movies, he says he isn't interested yet in those but he did not failed say “But I still have a lot of years ahead of me and I may end up surprising audiences by running around trees and doing all the things that Hindi film heroes do on screen,” he added.

So 10 different looks are being worked out for her, with inputs from the film's makers and the stylist, apart from the actress herself."

The news is also strong that there was an instant approval by Vidya for the project as she was excited to see the snippets of the movie which starred Sharman Joshi, along with the producers Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani.
