Review
Currently, Farzi is one of the most loved series in India, thanks to Raj and DK for creating something cool like this. We got to see a never-before-seen shade of Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi in this one. The narrative is so crisp that the makers left no space for anything unnecessary. The character building is so perfect that Sandeep, Firoz, Michael, Megha, etc. will stay with you. This is how characters should be written.
Shahid Kapoor gave a tremendous performance, but we felt Vijay Sethupathi came out of the box and overshadowed the leads. VJS as Micheal Vedanayagam was just perfect. A man with a cool swag who deals with more conflicts behind the veil. Megha is undoubtedly Raashi Khanna’s best role in her career. She was just too awesome. Then there is Kay Kay Menon who played Manzoor Dalaal, a baddie with more swag and attitude. His mannerisms were a treat to watch, as the actor swayed seamlessly throughout the series with his acting.
Production-wise, the series is perfect, just like the “Farzi” notes made by the artist. It takes you through the story as the narration is really gripping, and all you want to do is finish it off in one single watch!
Conclusion
Farzi is a crime thriller you wouldn’t want to miss watching!
