Ferrari KiSawaari
16th September15:00AEST.13:00AWST on Star Plus
A little boy Kayo thinks of nothing but cricket. His father, Rusy, thinks of nothing but his
little boy. To fulfill his son's dream of playing at Lord's cricket ground, the honest and
upright Rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life: he borrows a
gleaming red Ferrari. Just for one hour. The only problem is he doesn't inform its
legendary owner. A wild, breathless, bumpy ride begins, a ride that leads to a
menagerie of amazing characters: a wedding planner who'll stop at nothing, a
Laurel-and-Hardyesque pair of loyal attendants, a greedy politician and his reckless
son, a mechanic who specializes in stolen cars. As the Ferrari zooms through this
chaotic world of street-thugs and mass-weddings, another saga unfolds – a grumpy
old man and his secret wounds, and an epic rivalry that goes back thirty-eight years.
A naive Rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night, and play
the role of a perfect father. Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a story of small guys and their big
dreams, and how one night changes their lives forever

The film explores themes of feminism and motherhood in a male-dominated Indian
society. Filming took place on the streets of Kolkata with Ghosh employing the art of
guerrilla filmmaking to avoid unwanted attention. Ghosh admitted to using several
allusions to Satyajit Ray's films such as Charulata (1964) and Aranyer Dinratri (1970).
Additionally, critics compared the twist ending of the plot to the Hollywood film
Taking Lives (2004). The film was noted for a deft portrayal of Kolkata and use of a
significant number of crew and cast members from the city.
