๐ฅ Farzi (2023)
Web Series Directed by Raj & DK
Raj & DK’s crime comedy drama released in Amazon Prime Video. First of all The series’ cast is outstanding, with names like Amol Palekar, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon and Shahid Kapoor in their debut OTT release.
Sunny’s (Shahid Kapoor) remark in the first episode, “We aren’t middle class, we are middle-finger-class,” pretty much sums up why the characters get into transgression. While avarice is a reason for the characters’ fabulous acts, it is essentially a result of the chance circumstances of being born impoverished.
The series depicts how talented artists suffer in varied settings and how the world lacks an appreciation for true art.
Given its core premise of middle-class woes, the series is something that most
Indian populace would relate to. It has plenty of comic relief, too. Especially Vijay Sethupathi's badass character of a cop, it's more comic and engaging at the same time.
He steals the show, as does the iconic Amol Palekar. Palekar’s return to OTT is a refreshing shift. Shahid excels as Sunny, and even as the protagonist, he remains low-key and avoids being overly flashy. Kay Kay fills in brilliantly as the antagonist Mansoor, giving the drama, the punch and the weight the show requires to be whole.
The series is so well-researched that it sometimes feels like an instruction manual for making counterfeit notes — which is the show’s premise.
With a phenomenal script using simple language to portray profound emotions, the series has the potential to keep the audience glued through the eight episodes.
Farzi is unquestionably one of Raj & DK’s best efforts — more than a Gripping series from the makers of ‘Family Man’. Just experience the fun thrilling ride.
