Finding Fanny (2014)
3/10
Finding a sweet message but in very subtle way
12 September 2014
Director work and approach towards the film is very subtle. There is nothing in the name of story only an idea to convey a sweet message. All characters are very complex. So, screenplay is also complex. Eventually film becomes so complex that I was unable to understand or relate with the film. Dialogues are very natural and convey things at places in intelligent way. Many things happen in starting few minutes of film but film didn't take pace and till interval it is very boring. After interval is recovers a bit but also for some time. Scenes between Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor after interval are very sensible and good but for that you have to bear almost complete film. Film is full of shots for just establishing the characters and culture. I was unable to understand many metaphors, like cat incident, junk car, the painter character and culmination of his character. Lots of questions also remained unanswered. What did happen to Rosy's (Dimple Kapadia) husband? Conversation between her and Naseeruddin Shah indicates that there is something mysterious but that left abruptly. I couldn't even get the message behind the painting thing and the painting. Performance wise Deepika Padukone shines among all the veterans. She is fantastic. Dimple Kapadia surprises as her brilliant performance. Arjun Kapoor is OK. Naseeruddhin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor are very good as usual.
