Ferrari Ki Sawaari- What a ride!

The movie touches your heart intensely, with such well chiseled characters, of a father being an ideal example of humanity to his son by fighting every immorality against all odds; a son in awe of his ‘papa’ and following his path of justice whatever it takes; and a grand father who is a prey to the wickedness of this world and trying to escape this reality. The movie forces you to believe in the existence of such an unbelievably pure and selfless family. Vidhu Vinod Chopra movies always make you believe that people like that still exist. He gives those people an identity and a confidence to keep on fighting, with dignity. Moreover, he gives us a hope that the end of the world is not near, since there is some little goodness left. And believe me; even that slight amount of pure honesty is enough to fight all the injustice, if united. Only if we are ready to support the noble and imbibe that honesty in ourselves can there be a hope to live with pride.

The movie also shows a woman who is very sharp in her professional life, who perfectly knows how to make use of things and people whenever required. Or the bank manager who refuses loan because of defaults. I felt that the movie tried to represent the people stuck on that thin line between selfish and selfless. The best part is that it is shown that at the end of the day, having a good heart and soul, and being able to be the reason to somebody’s happiness gives you ultimate satisfaction. The story does have bad characters (the politician or Mr. Dharamaker- the people who sit at the top and exploit their power), who are shown to have a publicly successful life, but a very hollow lifeless soul. It makes a lot of sense, and makes any average ordinary person feel special and lucky, makes you feel rich with the amount of morality you have, not your bank balance.

I wept with the movie a few times, but when the movie ended I cried uncontrollably, even when the titles started rolling up! I realized that I was crying because it was the end of the Ferrari ki Sawaari- LITERALLY! My ‘Ferrari ki Sawaari’ was the journey into the beautiful world of justice. I suddenly snapped out of that world where all the goodness united to defeat the evil, to the world around me in reality, where people pull you down like crabs. I was suddenly broken to realize that there is no Rustam (the father) anymore and Kayo, the little boy and no victory over injustice. What a sad reality.

But this movie ignited in me the hope that every injustice will always be heard and justified in the court of morality, and that one just needs to stay sincere and enjoy the ride, of this life called Ferrari! =)
