Shirin Farhad ki Toh Nikal Padi: Love is definitely not an Unappetizing Soup after 40!

Bela Bhansali Sehgal breaks the rules and captures romance of a 40 plus couple on celluloid

 Farah Khan has been ruling Bollywood by making the leading heroes and heroine to dance to her tunes. With Shirin Farhad, she is donning the hat of an actress for the first time. She did not become a freak to shed off her pounds, but put on some more, to play a real character. Moreover, flaunting curves is definitely in vogue with size zero taking a back seat. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always been associated with films whose grandeur, flamboyance, silence or darkness is very difficult to invade. With Shirin Farhad, he has penned down a story that people can relate to. Bela Sehgal who is the director of Shirin Farhad had previously used scissors in her brother’s flicks like Khamoshi, Devdas, Black to name a few. 

The very idea struck Sanjay 11 years back, but to flesh it out with by roping in the accomplished actor Boman Irani and to have all things in place, it took some time. The final output seems quite entertaining! Film highlighting the Parsi community often borders on caricatures, but there is some genuine moments that would make you to roll with laughter, glimpses that will play on your emotional chords when you enjoy the roller-coaster ride of Shirin Farhad. You can connect to the movie readily which is one of the scoring points of this flick to draw the mass to the theater. Shirin Farhad is a sweet romantic movie which promises to the movie buffs some fantastic, feel-good factor at and after 40!

  

 

When it comes to emoting Boman Irani needs no definition, no introduction. Farah Khan is bubbly, chirpy, full of life and even if she goofed up with her lines at times on the sets, the director let her to be herself, speak up what came to her spontaneously! The shots were “okayed’ with the “cut” calls barely coming out from the captain of the ship.
