After a small break, Farzi is back to it's normal course of action and is sprinting ahead at a breakneck speed once again. It's almost like a new beginning with Sunny and Mansoor teaming up and creating new problems for Michael and Megha's CCFART unit. This needs to be said again and again that it's a very enjoyable show that keeps your excitement level high in every single episode.
Shahid Kapoor has that unique quality to look extremely innocuous and innocent as well as ruthless with complete conviction as per requirement. In Farzi, we get to see two different sides of Munna, and Shahid Kapoor has been doing a phenomenal role in portraying both of them. Kay Kay Menon has a personality that makes you believe that he is actually the kind of person that he is portraying. Also, it never really seems like Kay Kay is acting, he keeps switching his style of talking seamlessly as per the scene and his portrayal always comes across as flawless; when you see an actor like him perform, it makes you feel that he is indeed a true 'artist'. Bhuvan Arora has also been doing an amazing job as Firoz; he is not some random supporting actor that you won't notice, he actually holds his own in front of an actor like Shahid Kapoor.
The dialogues of Farzi, written by Hussain Dalal, are very good. It's funny how things change when you are working with a much more competent script and under the guidance of good quality filmmakers like Raj and DK. A few months back, Hussain Dalal was being bashed left right and centre for writing some cringe worthy dialogues for 'Brahmastra', and now in Farzi he has delivered absolute gems in the name of dialogues. The scene where Yasir questions Munna's decision of working with Mansoor Dalal was a brilliant scene with some beautiful dialogues.
The background score by Ketan Sodha continues to be outstanding. The composer has been trying to create something unique and unheard of for this show and that is something truly remarkable. Every scene becomes more powerful because of the brilliant music being added to it by Ketan Sodha.
It was very surprising to see characters of
The Family Man (2019) in this episode. In one of the previous episodes, we did get to see Inspector Shinde, who was also in
The Family Man (2019), but I didn't think too much about it, but in this episode the creators made it loud and clear that they fall in the same universe and perhaps we might see a cross over between the two shows. It was a pleasant surprise and quite exciting to see characters from 'The Family Man' in this episode.
I know the creators let us know in the previous episode about how desperate Megha was for a new flat but what happened in this episode was a little difficult to digest. Megha's software CT-600 became a major stumbling block in the fake note market and on top of that Mansoor Dalal's right hand man Bilal got arrested by Michael and his team, clearly things are a little shaky for Mansoor Dalal; so when a stranger tried to get over friendly with Megha, so much so that he got her a sea facing flat at a price of her choice, why didn't she get suspicious? Also, when Sunny needed the phone, he could have asked his broker friend, but he asked her and she gave it to him without any hesitation, the same phone that receives confidential messages from the CCFART unit. Throughout the show, Megha has been portrayed as a very sharp minded girl, but that scene between Sunny and Megha broke that continuity. That whole storyline couldn't make me believe that a smart girl like Megha would fall for something like that. The show was trying to put across the point that after being constantly pestered by her mother, Megha too started believing that perhaps she needs someone in her life, which is why she allowed herself to be vulnerable when a charming young man came up to her and offered help, but unfortunately it just came across as plot convenience. Of course it brought together Sunny and Megha, two good looking individuals, so there is nothing much to complain about.
Apart from that one criticism, I absolutely loved this episode. As always it felt like watching a mini movie packed with plenty of drama, action, suspense and a possible romance.
