Farrey

Directed by Soumendra Padhi, "Farrey" is a heist-thriller that follows a group of teenagers attempting to cheat on an international entrance test. Led by Niyati Singh (played by Alizeh Agnihotri), the group navigates the complexities of academic pressure and privilege to achieve their goals.

The film's premise, based on the Thai film "Bad Genius," offers promise but ultimately falls short in execution. While the storyline touches on themes of class disparity and the pressure to succeed, it lacks depth in character development and storytelling.

The performances by the cast, including Alizeh Agnihotri, Sahil Mehta, Zeyn Shaw, and Prasanna Bisht, are decent but fail to elevate the material. Despite the potential for emotional resonance, the film's pacing feels rushed, leaving little room for the audience to connect with the characters on a deeper level.

One of the film's major drawbacks is its lack of a compelling soundtrack and sound direction, which contributes to moments of boredom and disengagement. Additionally, the ending feels predictable and anticlimactic, robbing the film of any lasting impact.

Overall, "Farrey" may serve as a passable one-time watch, but it ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression. With its lack of originality and missed opportunities for deeper exploration of its themes, it's a forgettable addition to the genre.

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.

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.

Please I request to stop making remakes cliches of good Foreign movies.

The movie doesn't live upto the expectation at all.

Very disappointing and no story at all.

The story was desperately been dragged and thus fell short.

The new comers didn't do any justice to their character and felt too much scripted and lacked real emotional touch.

I request Rich producers and bollywood to stop making such bad remake movies to launch their kids and making us spend our hard earned money.

I would have given this 1 star but just for the courage of making such bad remakes I have made it 3 stars as making movie involves hardwork.

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!
