Farrey

"Farre" is a must-watch movie, especially for children. The film delivers a powerful message about the importance of honesty and integrity, teaching kids that cheating is never the right path. The storyline is engaging and well-crafted, keeping the audience invested from start to finish.

One of the standout aspects of "Farre" is the incredible performance by the young actors. Their natural talent brings depth and authenticity to the characters, making their journeys relatable and inspiring. The new actresses in the film also deliver commendable performances, adding freshness and energy to the movie.

Emotionally, "Farre" hits all the right notes. It beautifully balances moments of humor, drama, and sentiment, making it a wholesome experience for viewers of all ages. Despite being a 2023 release, it feels like this gem hasn't received the attention it truly deserves.

In summary, "Farre" is an excellent movie with a strong moral lesson, stellar performances, and a captivating story. It's definitely worth watching, and I highly recommend it for families looking for a meaningful and entertaining film.

One of the finest movies of 2023. A strong content oriented highly underrated movie. Story revolves around how very privileged students take undue advantage of underprivileged children to make their career. What starts as an average movie takes unexpected turns. Definitely not preachy but story is thought inducing. Alizeh Agnihotri is fantastic! Must watch for younger crowd particularly adolescent n older crowd. Available in Zee5. My ratings 7/10!

The word 'Farrey' stands for ways to cheat, to devise ingenious ways to surpass the system and most importantly, do this without getting caught. But what makes the film a terrific watch is the treatment and performances of the lead cast.

'Farrey' sort of pushes the boundaries and caters to a more mainstream crowd. There is very little titillation or need to push the envelope in that space and instead, Soumendra Padhi and his troupe of kids focus on their characters and making the performances take the lead.

When we meet Niyati (Alizeh Agnihotri) in an orphanage wanting to go big, we actually also get into what an all-girls shelter home looks like from the inside. On the other side of the spectrum are the rich and very privileged Chhavi (Prasanna Bisht) and Prateek (Zeyn Shaw). How Niyati gets entangled in what seems like just a mere case of making a quick buck is what sets 'Farrey' apart from the rest.

Performances are the strongest pillars in 'Farrey'. After writing, if there is a force that makes the film worth watching, then it has to be the ensemble that Soumendra Padhi has put together. You can tell from the scenes that he has definitely put these kids through rehearsals and sessions before finalising the main take.

Alizeh Agnihotri, who makes her debut with 'Farrey', is perhaps the best find of 2023. Easy on the eyes and yet so riveting, she shines bright in some of the most complex scenes. The no-makeup, de-glam look also helps Alizeh make Niyati feel real. Her first big scene - the long monologue opposite Ronit Roy - is where you get to see that glimpse of someone who, with the right guidance and support, can be moulded into a terrific performer.

Prassana Bisht, who plays Chavi, is super terrific and so is Sahil Mehta, who plays Aakash. These two actors will go a long way and should get picked up for the right roles.

'Farrey' has a steady first half, but it's the second follow-up storyline post interval where you find the most juice. It's fast paced, makes you sit on the edge of your seat and the characters spring one surprise after another. There is, thankfully, no forced love angle or any other gimmick that might be a distraction to what the maker is set out to do.

'Farrey' is a solid effort that keeps you engaged. The fact that it is based on a real-life event makes it even more fascinating. A solid A + on the mark sheet for the cast of 'Farrey'.

While the film attempts to capture the essene of the original Thai masterpiece, it falls short in almost every aspect. The narrative feels rushed and underdeveloped, failing to delve into the depths of the characters' motivations and the complexities of the cheating scheme. The adrenaline-fuelled sequences of cheating escapades, which were so captivating in the original film, lack the same intensity and suspense in "Farrey".

Alizeh Agnihotri's character transformation from a reluctant participant to an integral part of the cheating scheme feels unearned, and the audience struggles to connect with her on an emotional level. The stark contrast between Niyati's privileged classmates and her own struggles as an orphan feels forced and fails to resonate with the audience.

Overall, "Farrey" is a disappointing remake that fails to capture the magic of its Thai predecessor. The rushed narrative, underdeveloped characters, and the lack of suspense make it a forgettable cinematic experience. For those seeking a truly captivating tale of academic fraud and moral dilemmas the original Thai film " Bad Genius" remains the superior choice.

Great movie Great acting especially Prasanna Bisht she did a great job! Chavi character was well researched and played by her. I liked all the other actors too. Very very very well done. The depth of chavi's character was crazy and the last scene where she screen on phone! OMG! It was too good. Real actors spit! Niyati did a great job, pateek and akash were good too. Akash k sath bura hua.
