When Prince Salim, who came from Indore to Mumbai to become a hero, became famous as story writer Salim Khan, how could he have imagined that his son would become a superstar of Hindi cinema. And, one day his daughter’s daughter will also bring glory to this family of Pashtuns through the film which is going to be released on his last birthday, Salim Abdul Rashid Khan would not have even dreamed of this at that time. To be honest, the trailer of the film ‘Farre’ was not very impressive and that is why when Alizeh’s father Atul Agnihotri called to watch the film days before its release, I was not very excited. But, everyone watching the film in that particular preview theater had forgotten all their prejudices by the interval itself. At first everyone was scared that Alizeh might turn out to be like Ananya, Sara and Alaya. But, Alizeh is the most surprising debut of this year. Discussions about his acting are going to continue for years to come.

The wisdom of poverty in an expensive school
The film ‘Pharre’ is the official remake of a Thai film ‘Bad Genius’. The Hindi adaptation of the film has been done by its director Soumendra Padhi in collaboration with Abhishek Yadav, who was part of the writing team of ‘Kota Factory’. The story of the film steals the spotlight from those admission cases that were much talked about in Delhi in recent times, in which orders were issued to even the expensive schools to reserve some percentage of seats for the poor children of the area. One such school is in the story of this film. The school is so expensive that it doesn’t even run a school bus. Everyone comes to school in cars like Mercedes, Audi. That’s it, they don’t come to study. He does the rest. In such a situation, two students like ‘promising Birwan ke hot chikne paat’ come. The boy has to leave his job as a delivery boy and go to study in a foreign university. The girl also has to go, but she is smart, wise and also a fool. The writing team has given her reason as the poverty of the orphanage where she has grown up since childhood and soon after turning 18, she is going to go to another orphanage from here. The girl is lured by her friends to earn money. And, once she gets addicted to earning easy money, even a girl as smart as Ramanujan will never stop.

of educational system ‘Jamtara’
Director Soumendra Padhi, who came to Mumbai from Odisha, made his first film in the year 2016, ‘Budhiya Singh Born to Run’. The film was praised but he did not get another film. Now the OTT series ‘Jamtara’ has awakened his interest. Salman Khan Films’ production ‘Farre’ has instantly brought him in the attention of the A-listers of the Hindi film industry. It must not have been easy for Soumendra to take the responsibility of the debut of Salman Khan’s sister Alvira and her husband Atul Agnihotri’s daughter. But, the film’s young stars Alizeh, Sahil, Jane and Prasanna have helped their director a lot in this difficult responsibility. The film ‘Farre’ is a completely unexpected surprise for the Hindi film viewers who have been waiting for the film ‘Archies’ for a long time to watch a teenager movie. This is a film whose heroine Alizeh has single-handedly created the atmosphere to watch. The way she asks, ‘Hey, do you have any captive?’ He is worth seeing.

Instead of a Lapuzhanna type love story, Alizeh Agnihotri has made his debut with a film which is based on the education system but has the fun of a robber-like film. In English, education film has the flavor of heist. The lead role actress had also debuted in the Thai film on which this film is made and here the entire industry has its eyes on Alizeh. Don’t know how much of it is the hard work of her acting coach MK Raina and how much of it is her own practice, but Alizeh has left everyone behind among the new millennial actresses who have recently appeared on the big screen in her very first film. This girl speaks with her eyes. She communicates in silence and her expressions are such that it is hard to believe that this is her first film. Salim Khan has hardly received a better birthday gift than this in his entire life. Salman Khan would also be proud of his niece and perhaps a little bit jealous too..! Jealousy because Alizeh’s praise should not be that of a star but that of an actor.

But, lest there be injustice to the other actors of the film in praising Alizeh, then let us talk about the three actors of the film who along with Alizeh have covered all four corners of its story. Prasanna Bisht is the number one among these three. Prasanna has done amazing acting in the role of Chhavi who looks like a devil from the very first scene. Prasanna’s work is worth watching in the scene of going to meet Papa in his office and then in the scene where he prepares Niyati to help him in the exam. Sahil in the role of Akash and Jane Shaw in the role of Prateek have played their respective parts very well. Both are experienced actors and also help in enhancing Alizeh’s acting. Ronit Roy has his own style and Juhi Babbar! After the film ‘Faraz’, Juhi has once again garnered applause. If there is an award for the best mother of new millennials, she can definitely win it. Technically also the film has become good. Keiko Nakahara’s camera is amazing and editor Zubin Sheikh’s style is fine. Mukesh Chhabra has once again done a champion job in its casting.

After enumerating so many good qualities of the film, now it is the turn of its weak links. Some of these are like taking Alizeh’s attention and some are due to Soumendra Padhi’s own weaknesses. The background of the film is school education but the examination system chosen in it is that of International Board. The youth appearing for state level board exams or CBSE and ICSE board exams will also take some time to understand this angle. Their parents will not understand for a long time why these examinations are only option based, which school in the country does not have to write answers, only the circles have to be blackened. The second weakest link of the film is its marketing. There has been no effort at all to create an atmosphere about the film. Common people of cities like Kanpur, Lucknow, Meerut, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Indore do not even know that such a film is being released. The digital tracking of the film will be just above zero. Searching ‘Farre Movie’ on social media does not show anything that can create a desire to watch the film. The work of the film’s PR agency and Masha Allah.
