Finding Fanny With Balanced Humors
Movie Review:
Having an entirely different storyline and not just like the Bolywood masala movies ‘Finding Fanny’ is one of the humorous films which has never been portrayed in such a fantastic manner. It is one of the impressing facts that the director who has already made a commercial masala film like Cocktail has actually made this film. Finding fanny is an irregular movie. It is the movie for the niche audiences. There are many of the directors which call their movies different, but this one is actually different. It is a witty and wicked movie. Finding Fanny is not a comedy, nor slapstick sense of the Bolywood. It is the movie where bunch of fantastic actors are together in a frame, who are sitting in a blue beaten car who are in all probability to find Fanny, but overall largely giving us a delightful spoonful of entertainment altogether.
Story Review:
Starting from set in a sleepy village Pocolim, which is tucked somewhere in the interiors of Goa, Finding Fanny lingers around like a cat and be idle while sitting under the warm sun. The journey of finding fanny begins when Ferdie (Nasureddin Shah) who is the old postman of the village, gets to know that the letter which he has written to Fanny (Anjali patil), 46 years ago. While he got a friend named Angie (Deepika Padukone) now wants him to find Fanny by helping him because his love never reached her. Angie in this journey ropes in her mother-in-law Rosie (Dimple Kapadia), the self-styled lady of Pocolim, who seems to all time call a shots and keeps throwing up her weight around with the locals. On the other hand Savio(Arjun Kappor) who loved Angie but never confessed about it to her at his teenage years is back in town , he is the one who will be driving the car which belongs to Don Pedro(Pankaj Kapoor), who is a fine artist and is interested in Rosaline. Moving together into this journey where five of the characters having their stories to tell which is different from each others, but has a clean heart at the end. There is an undercurrent into this film which will also live you in splits in some of the scenes.
Music Review:
The music of Finding Fanny is quirky as it is just like the movie which is set in Goa. The primary French music director Mathias Duplessy has made the choice of European flavor to the soundtrack. The start-up song Fanny Re is being sung and written by Rajasthani folk artiste, Mukhtiyar Ali, brings along a bossa nova to Bollywood. Follow up with Maahi Ve which is again given by Ali is another version of Fanny Re. The film composer has given French –Portuguese feel by giving is voice for Ding-Dong by Alan Mercer as the lyricist. While sachine Jigar enters up with the lyricist Dinoo with the song Shake Your Bootiya. While Divya Kumar gives her best in for the folk-fusion number. While the music of Finding Fanny might not hit the dance floor but will touch the hearts of the people by it chords.
