perhaps the title of the hbo documentary by director dana perry might have been called a family interrupted . for every completed suicide , one finds a trail of other casualties made up of everyone who ever touched or was touched by that individual . this is the lesson and the legacy captured so artfully and movingly in boy interrupted .
what ' s not up for debate : the rare nature of the boy ' s illness .
finally , there ' s the choice of title of the film , which is problematic . girl , interrupted was a hollywood movie about the institutionalizing of a teen girl for behaving badly , and questions whether there was anything really wrong with her . yet the whole point of boy interrupted is that there really was something wrong with evan . his psychiatrist even gives the impression at one point that evan ' s suicide was inevitable . so there ' s no parallel with girl , interrupted .

handsome , intelligent and charming , evan perry — without the benefit of “boy interrupted” — would be a complete mystery : a kid with everything kills himself ? but the purpose of the perrys’ film is to strip away some of that mystery , reveal the agony such families go through and the vigilance needed to protect their most vulnerable members from themselves .

when i first moved to la , i worked as a go - go dancer and there were so many hilarious stories that i always wanted to write about them ! a year ago , i filmed 7 sketches that followed the story of a go - go boy who turned 30 and then got fired from the club he worked at . i called it
go - go boy interrupted .
it was part of a live show i was doing at the groundlings in los angeles . some friends encouraged me to put it online , and so i released it as a weekly web series last october .
the film is powerful even though it offers more questions than answers , as it examines not just one precious , joyful and tragic life , but many lives across three generations - - artists and sculptors , psychiatrists and milieu therapists , teachers and students . like any exceptional film - - fictional narrative or documentary , released theatrically or on television ( where hbo continues to distinguish itself ) - - boy interrupted captures a bit of magic .
today , hbo airs
boy , interrupted ,
a documentary which tells the story of a young man ' s experience with mental illness and his mother ' s struggle to provide him with the support he needs . if you happen to watch it , i ' d love to hear what you think ( please comment below ) . if you ' re interested in finding out more , check out this article in the huffington post .
even as boy interrupted documents her forgetting , it works against the very process , at least to an extent . even as it laments what can ' t be seen or understood , it also exposes the trouble that comes from forgetting , repressing , and not seeing . if its memories of evan are selective , its point is resonant : no matter our own fears ,
scary souls
must be confronted , and in some profound way , embraced .

( 1 ) this interrupted miracle is an illustration of the way god is dealing with israel and the gentiles . perhaps i am allegorizing the text , but consider with me how the experience of jairus and the woman parallels that of the jews and the gentiles .
mournful , pained and beautifully put together , “boy interrupted” is about a mentally ill 15 - year - old who committed suicide , and the pic could only have been made by his parents . docu is , in fact , such an immersion in pain that had anyone other than dana and hart perry cut this elegiac little gem , those filmmakers would be accused of grief exploitation . hbo has the film , and that’s probably best : perhaps families will watch together and share a good cry .
i truthfully never pictured it doing as well as it did . the show was featured on the advocate magazine ' s
hot list ,
huffington post , la weekly , and more ! we ( the director jordan black and i ) ended up signing a shopping agreement with a production company , and with their agent , we took out
go - go boy interrupted
to tv networks to try and sell it as a tv show . we went to hbo , showtime , ifc , and bravo just to name a few !
the film was made by the boy ' s parents , director dana perry and cinematographer hart perry . it was made for hbo documentary films , being shown on tv and released on dvd . it was also shown at sundance in january 2009 .
there are actually two miracles described in our text , which are carefully intertwined . in reality , the miracle of the healing of jairus’ daughter is interrupted by the healing of the woman with the hemorrhage . for a short time , it appears that this healing of the woman has cost the life of jairus’ daughter .

this image suggests what the perrys were up against , that no matter how they tried to distract , intervene or communicate with evan , he was set on a course that had nothing to do with them . though this course is briefly altered - - evan is successfully treated at a connecticut facility with lithium and therapy , develops friendships , attracts girls (
though ,
dana says ,
he ' s never really interested in them
) , and appears in footage smiling and joking - - boy interrupted makes the case that it is , in the end , apparently inevitable .
the film depicted the downward spiral of a mentally ill 15 year old boy who eventually commits suicide . unlike most illness’s which are hidden away the documentary had a very open , heavily resourced production . the true peculiarity about the actual production was who directed the film , the mother .
the boy referred to in the title of this sobering documentary is the son of the film ' s director and its cinematographer ( hart perry ) , who suffered from a severe and intractable bipolar depression and committed suicide when he was 15 years old . his name was evan scott perry .
landon ' s teacher , meanwhile , has offered to let the sixth - grader keep a water bottle on his desk , even agreeing to use hand signals to quietly remind the boy to sip . but when his father gave him a bottle for the classroom , landon stashed it in his locker , untouched .
boy interrupted is a wrenching profile of a family torn apart . dana and hart perry share the intensely personal story of every parent’s worst nightmare : the death of a child by suicide . as professional filmmakers , they were accustomed to making extensive personal films and videos of the family , but never suspected that their footage of son evan – taken from the moment of his birth throughout childhood and adolescence – would end up becoming the primary source material for this moving account . casual and innocuous before his death , the home movies provide a visual record of evan’s life , and help create an intimate portrait of this vibrant , troubled young man , supplemented by interviews with family , friends , doctors and teachers .

in the documentary we see clips from perry’s childhood , ones where he at young age of 5 displays very dark thoughts , most scary was a photo dana perry took while having a talk with evan about his thoughts about killing himself , in the photo you see a very young boy showing his mother the way he would hang himself . disturbing , utterly intense .
the reason that the director and i decided to do a kickstarter is because the first season , although it was a total blast , no one got paid . the few crew members who did , were paid way under their normal rate . things like paying the actors , director , and crew are essential ! not only because they ' re talented and they deserve it , but because they ' re all working in the industry , so time working on go go boy interrupted means times away from better paying jobs . the money will also go to renting locations , renting lighting and sound equipment , food for the cast and crew . also , certain jobs like editors and music composers are really costly . those two positions will be $ 17 , 000 alone . if we didn ' t pay our crew , season 2 wouldn ' t be possible .
enrolled in a new school last year as a boy where only the staff knew otherwise , the nine - year - old passed without a hitch in his wardrobe of nike trainers and t - shirts , paired with a crew cut , boyish build , and aggressive basketball moves at recess . ( to keep his secret , the names of the boy and his parents have been changed . ) but the days when the only outward markers of gender lie in haircuts , clothes , and personality only last so long . deep inside marty ' s brain , a time bomb known as the hypothalamus waited to stage a hormone - armed mutiny . breasts would sprout . hips would widen . the uterus would shed blood on a monthly basis . marty didn ' t want any of it .

perry takes a long time establishing evan’s personality and the good qualities that never quite defined the boy well enough . ( his illness defined him as different — and made him more depressed . ) it doesn’t take very long before the viewer is aware the perrys had to make the film in order to exorcise their demons . they know logically they’re not to blame , but emotional absolution is harder to achieve .
these people had all this personal and dark circumstances filmed during evan’s life it seemed almost like they had a plan , but this is a silly thought because there is no way you can judge the actions of parents who tried very hard to get this boy help . after watching and reading more about the documentary i found out the parents created the film to help themselves heal and to find some closure .
so when the bud appeared , his bay area parents hustled him to an appointment with an endocrinologist at children ' s hospital and research center oakland , who said the bud might progress no further and puberty could still be a few years off , his parents recall . they were temporarily relieved . marty treated the bump as a boy would  poking at it at the dinner table , feeling it through his button - down shirts . waiting .
implicit in boy interrupted is just how daunting - - and crucial - - issues of health - care reform are . the film is testimony to so much we do not know , but is also a revelation in depicting the effectiveness of the patience and skill involved in high - quality care where we have a fighting chance to know and better treat patients . it is not a matter of politics , but a choice of life over death and health over disease and dysfunction . we see how bipolar disorder can distort perceptions , so too does partisan politics that smears what is the right of every american . canada is not a bad word and a social democracy in which every person has equal access to quality health - care should not be a frightening proposition . we lag behind other compassionate nations in education , health - care , science , and too often refuse to embrace the soothsayers , our great american dreamers , our own home - grown filmmakers and other artists who have the wonderful audacity to show us their truths .

because director dana perry and her cinematographer husband , hart , are filmmakers , the life of their first child together , evan , wasn’t just recorded — it was recorded well . and they captured more than most parents might — even those moments in which evan seems a little “off , ” as dana perry says . even as a young boy , evan had a matter - of - fact way of talking about death , and there were even instances of acting out suicide . depression plagued him all his life , as did a bipolar condition that demanded medication .
our first child , a boy , had died unexpectedly ( crib death ) in the middle of the night . you can imagine our uneasiness when our next child , beth , became ill during the night . when her eyes began to roll back in her head we set out for the hospital . i had little interest in what the speed limit was that night , nor did i stop for traffic lights . in my mind , time was of the essence . the sooner we could get beth to the hospital , the better . any delay , at that moment , seemed to endanger her life .
variety noted that because of his parents ' occupations , they did a good job in recording his life , and produced an
elegiac little gem
. the philadelphia inquirer called it a
remarkable , deeply unsettling documentary
, scoring it 3 / 4 stars . [ 2 ] the movie blog criticised the production quality , but found that the film still
communicated effectively and with a lot of emotion
. si live suggested that the boy ' s story perhaps did not merit a documentary , but it was
valuable viewing
in that it would educate people a little about mental illness . — source
there are several aspects of the film that raise concerns . most obviously , even by the time of the funeral evan ' s parents had decided to do something with it , because they asked friends to film it , despite the fact that his suicide note said he wanted a private funeral , and that he didn ' t want people from his school to know how he died . it ' s clear that filmmaking is in their blood , and is central to their own way of dealing with the world . further , it ' s not so clear that the wishes of a depressed boy who killed himself should be paramount ; funerals are for those still living .

jairus had the implied promise of the lord jesus to come to his house and to heal ( or raise ) his daughter . along comes a woman , when jesus is in the process of dealing with jairus , and “steals” a blessing from god . in the process of her doing so , there is an agonizing delay , one which appears to be at the expense of jairus . for at least a short time it would seem ( or so it did to those who reported the girl’s death to jairus ) that the woman’s blessing cost the daughter of jairus her life . god seems to have been unnecessarily delayed , so that the woman is blessed at the expense of the ruler of the synagogue . and , worse yet , the woman was declared unclean by the law , so that she would have been thought to have had no right to approach or touch him . here is jairus , an apparently righteous , devout , and influential jewish leader , whose “blessing” is interrupted by an unclean woman , 162 whose healing was undeserved , on several counts .
what was going wrong with her life ? she tells us she decided she did not want to go onto college , and she slept with her high school english teacher . a couple of years earlier , she took an overdose and had to have her stomach pumped . but apart from that we learn almost nothing about her family , friends , or her past . she mentions that one boy liked her so much that he remained in contact with her even while she was in hospital ; on one of her visits to him on leave from the hospital , he proposed to her , and she accepted . this comes as a total surprise to the reader . she mentions that the marriage did not last , and that she has since had a number of lovers . she decided to have no children . she wanted to be a writer , and she succeeded .
aaaand we’re back . after a week off the airwaves , modern family returned last night true to form , with all three families making kooky , separate tracks over to manny’s birthday dinner , while the birthday boy himself dealt with an early - life crisis . the agitation came from a joke jay dropped about manny’s premature maturity , a riff so worn - out by now , i was happy to see the kid react to a dig at it . yes , manny , it is strange that you drink espresso and aspire to look like al capone ! investigate ! and so he did , or at least tried to , attempting all the things childish kids apparently do : ride a skateboard , float in a pool , mix different kinds of soda together ( am i the only one who missed this particular rite of passage ? ) , all with a very adult checklist sensibility .
his parents called children ' s because now , due to the efforts of a small but growing number of doctors around the world , something actually could be done about emerging puberty . the endocrinologist agreed that mother nature was revving up , preparing to take marty the way of trainer bras , tampax , and , as his parents and doctors predicted , increasing distress as his body developed into a sex that to him seemed a cruel trick of birth . the changes would make living as a boy impossible in the present , and he ' d potentially face scarring surgery to remove unwanted breasts down the road . what ' s more , the upsurge in estrogen would slow and stop his growth , making it harder for him to ever pass as a male . of course , that ' s if marty would end up living as a man . as boyish as marty is , no one could know for sure .
still , dana says , he expressed himself in
lots of songs
that were
very sophisticated .
she goes on ,
he did not have a britney spears phase .
instead ,
he went straight to bob dylan , neil young , and nirvana .
here again , the film offers an alarming contrast : while nine - year - old evan plays guitar and sings about cutting himself in the neck (
i ' m depressed , nothing less , curious , furious , / so somebody kill me please
) , his younger brother michael ( who is not interviewed fro the film ) , plays on the floor beside him . the little boy rolls around with a bucket , tipping in and out of the scene . finally , he walks into the frame , standing directly in front of evan , and leans his body into him . evan completes his song , barely acknowledging michael ' s presence .

i must admit at the outset that my burden in reviewing and analyzing a film has seldom felt quite so heavy . *
evan ' s loved ones have no recourse but to cope imperfectly , admitting they will never be the same . but , too often , the choice of those suffering with intractable affective disorders ( spalding gray , primo levi , and seung - hui cho come to mind ) including major depressions , bipolar depressions , and bipolar disorder ( sometimes presenting with psychotic features ) choose suicide because extreme symptoms such as hopelessness , pointlessness , a gross lack of judgment , impulsivity , distorted perceptions , alienation , and excruciating despair are simply too overwhelming to endure .
evan was as charming as he was exasperating , which are the hallmark signs and the paradoxes one experiences in dealing with bipolar individuals . he could be loving and extremely affectionate - - often curling up in his mother ' s loving arms - - only to turn around and frighten his devoted family and even his psychiatrist who remarks ,
he was the scariest kid i ever saw in my life .
his teachers marveled at his zest for life and his obsession with death contending with suicide attempts , one involving climbing to the roof of p . s . 11 in manhattan and threatening to jump . evan made numerous suicidal gestures and some homicidal threats . his parents would move heaven and earth in their search for answers and treatment that might save his life .
evan loved bob dylan at an early age singing in a similar , quirky style marked by pathos and less - than - perfect pitch . he wrote lyrics and poetry that rivaled the moodiness of the late , kurt cobain , another kindred spirit . he would have run ins with the police and private sessions with a child psychiatrist ; receive a misdiagnosis of depression and go on prozac ; be hospitalized at a the private facility four winds where he was diagnosed with bipolar depression , take drugs such as depakote and later , lithium , a slightly less sedative , mood stabilizer .
all were inadequate treatments with side effects and other cracks through which to fall . finally , through a treatment modality known as
milieu therapy ,
exemplified by wellspring in bethlehem , ct , which evan ' s father describes as an
expensive alternative ,
he flourished . there , evan learned that actions have consequences and that boundaries are crucial for order and productivity . inner demons were exorcised by the healing properties of structure , assignments , and meaningful activities in which social , interpersonal , and therapeutic alliances with seasoned , caring professionals blossomed . this experience - - which few families can afford financially and many others may never hear of - - added years to evan ' s life and allowed him to be
mainstreamed
and enter york prep where he was less precocious - - having formerly existed in the world of old souls - - and became more open to peers .
the perry family has devoted itself to creating art ( evan ' s parents have directed and produced many documentaries ; his grandmother , beatrice , a sculptor also engaged an artist / friend to come to germantown , ny , from spain to create a sculpture than adorns the grave of her son , scott , in a creative process documented in the rest is silence by hart perry ) . the family and their friends offer the audience a gift by testifying so candidly about evan ' s life , which continues to puzzle and haunt them .
* in additional to my membership in the women film critics circle and being able to write about film - - an art form that never ceases to enthrall me - - on the huffington post , critical women on film , and other sites and publications , i am also a member of the american association for psychoanalysis in clinical social work , a fellow of the new york state society of clinical social work , and maintain a psychotherapy practice in nyc . my roots , however , can be traced to internships in in - patient psychiatry at metropolitan hospital center , working with the chronically mentally ill in acute phases of illness , and at vvlp , working with vietnam war veterans .
i spent 16 years in community and clinic - based psychiatry at st . luke ' s - roosevelt hospital center privileged to work with gifted and dedicated clinical social workers , nurse practitioners , creative arts therapists , psychologists , and psychiatrists treating the charming , exasperating , lovable , and irascible individuals diagnosed with and often ravaged by major depressive , bipolar , and schizophrenic disorders . i have witnessed and participated in the treatment of affective and psychotic disorders that were extraordinarily well managed , grossly mismanaged , and everything in between learning that a single clinician , no matter how experienced , cannot possibly successfully treat certain , special patients without a collaborating psychiatric nurse practitioner or psychiatrist and in some cases , an entire treatment team , day program , milieu therapy , and / or relationships with patients ' significant others .
i feel a duty to comment , at least in this footnote , not just on this film ' s effectiveness as art , but on the social policies it might inform .
this film is released at a moment when health - and mental - health care is at a crossroads . just as education is no bargain ( nor should we expect it to be ) and remains public , government - funded at local , state , and federal levels , so too should our health - care system , which involves untangling the web of insurance companies and their often unfair practices , which have exploited individuals and made hospitals , clinics , and even some private practices operate more like poorly run factories rather than the caring , professional entities they ought to be .
first - person essays , features , interviews and q & as ; about life today .
would you look at me differently if my son had died of cancer ? people come to the conclusion : it must be the parents ' fault . we are no different than anybody else . we did not torture our child . honestly , i ' m just a regular person . it happened to my family , to my mother in law ' s family . i go to the jed foundation and i see a thousand mothers who this has happened to , rooms full of survivors . this problem crosses geography , class - - and it is that much worse for people who are not educated , wealthy , and who are not flexible in their jobs , who do not have access to resources .
the question is not , did you do everything you could . the question is , where do you get the information . as advocates for a mentally ill child , hart ( dana ' s husband and production partner ) and i were dedicated . but , what do i do , and how do i get the information ? there ' s no manual . when evan was first diagnosed as bipolar in 2000 , i found one book . today , you ' ll see shelf after shelf . it ' s the new add . you see it on the cover of newsweek , a series in the new york times . we are now comfortable medicating our kids , maybe too comfortable . we are finding out , 50 % of college students have difficulties . and we are lucky . the tens of thousands of dollars we spent was worth it . horrible as our experience was , we could pay for wellspring where evan was in a class with two people and it cost $ 500 / day . he flourished and came to life . but no one can afford that . the question is , where are the resources ? now there are more . we did everything we could think of .
i ' ve battled depression but i ' ve never experienced an ongoing wish to die . i can only appreciate it by observation . martine , hart ' s brother ' s fiancé , says observing scott , he got into a hole and it is completely consuming . combine that with a kid ' s all - consuming self - consciousness and now distinguish the symptoms of bipolarity from the normal problems of a teenager or young adult - - they are already bipolar , lacking in judgment - - combine that with chemical imbalance , you ' ve got extremes that are already there magnified to unbearable extremes . so where is the line between normal and mentally ill ? do all kids rage for hours and have to be sat on ? the illness is powerful and you have to keep treating it .
q : did you ever say to yourself , this is a phase ? he will grow out of it .
with evan , even at age 4 or 5 it was clear . we found out , bipolar people are very clever . he learned to tell us what we wanted to hear . if he said anything , if he displayed dangerous behavior , it was known in our family he would be hospitalized . he was very clever in hiding it . doctors told us we could keep him alive , but he would never be cured . we wondered , what are we going to do when he is out of our jurisdiction ? we often talked about how we might outlive him . at the time evan died we weren ' t thinking suicide anymore . he was doing well in school ; he was popular . most shocking to me was when he did it . we weren ' t expecting it .
q : the film shows evan from the time of his birth . take me through the stages of making this film .
we never worked with hbo before . sheila nevins and nancy abraham offered good editorial and structural advice and emotional support . they could appreciate what i was trying to do : this is the mother ' s lament .
this is a movie one wishes one did not have to make . maybe it will break down walls , and stigmas about talking openly about mental illness , to free people to do so without shame . the film asks a lot of questions in a public fashion and stirs up discussion about why we as a society are ashamed about mental illness . educating people is a real challenge . and , education and treatment is the only suicide prevention . let ' s get the word out . we set up a website : urltoken

this documentary is extremely moving and sad . it really opened my eyes to the disease of depression . suicide isn ' t always
selfish
in their eyes . don ' t judge my statement without seeing this first . some people really are born with clinical depression and need to be medicated to survive . i ' m not one of these people , but i dated someone who was clinically depressed . it drove me bonkers , but in midst of striving to understand , i stumbled across this amazing and sad documentary . it did not save my relationship , but it sure helped me understand depression a lot more . i cannot recommend this more . . . just bring your tissues .
this is a cold hard truth and a look into what mental illness can do to family and friends . i first saw this documentary on hbo when it came out it struck my interest because my wife and son both suffer from bipolar disorder . this really opened my eyes to the concerns that i should have had and now harber . my son is now the age of evan how lost the battle and his life to this illness , so if anything good can come out of such a tragic loss it would be that this documentary has helped me better understand what can happen and try everything in my power as a father and a friend to my wife . i thank you for this opportunity to learn from your experiences , my best wishes to the perry family and friends .
received the video yesterday ( 3 / 26 ) and had a chance to watch it last night . i found it to be most helpful in gaining a greater understanding of how bipolar disorder can not only impact the individual , but the entire family too . i would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to gain a greater understanding of this disorder as well as how it can change lives as well . i give evan ' s family a great deal of credit for their willingness to speak out about this disorder . i am certain many will benefit them from their willingness to their story .
if you hope to understand the world of bi - polar disorder , this is the film to watch . just the fact that the parents were willing to bring the cameras into their personal and tragic story provides a unique look at the impact of bi - polar disorder on a young person and their family . ( make sure you have some tissues handy . )
documentary about the despair of parents that don ' t know how to help their son . not for the faint of heart .
i thought the movie was very good . living with bipolar and a son who has it , it shows the confusion and the thoughts that are there o lot of the time . it is easy to say oh you should have done this or that but the impulses of the illness are strong and you don ' t really realize how sick you are . i have been told that i get a different look about me and as my son gets a look and his anger is so strong . . . but so is the love when he is loving life . . i have survived suicide attempts in the past but i do believe the illness will possibly kill me or my son one day . while i know it hurts family and friends my wish is that these people can see that finally their loved one is not in such confusing turmoil and emotional pain anymore . god bless all the people that deal with this illness or any mental illness and their loved ones .

post the ride , a two minute video clip is handed over to you with you driving the ferrari which can be uploaded on youtube and other social networking sites .
a little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his sons dream of playing at lords cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy takes a reckless step . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari . just for one hour . the only trouble - - he doesnt inform the cars legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins . a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night , and play the role of a perfect father . can he do it ? ferrari ki sawaari is a fun - filled story of small guys and their big dreams and how these dreams turn into a mad comedy of errors . fasten your seatbelts . the joyride awaits
with a variety of roles and multifariousness to his credit , he is one actor who fits into any role consummately . in ferrari ki sawaari , boman irani delivers one of the finest , accomplished and dexterous acts . watch the scene when he pounces on sharman when he learns of the grandchild’s plans of playing cricket . also , the sequence with paresh rawal is astounding . it stays with you much after the curtains fall . there’s one more sequence that deserves to be highlighted : when he offers to play cricket with his grandchild in the middle of the night . sparkling performance indeed !
it’s hard to imagine a movie as sweet as “ferrari ki sawaari” answering that question in the affirmative , yet it tucks the metal harlot back in her corner where she belongs and the heroes walk away with no long - lasting negative consequences . in fact , stealing a car leaves the family in a better position , both financially and , more significantly , in their relationships with one another , than they were at the beginning of the movie . it’s just too tidy . you don’t tear around the maximum city in a car with that many zeros in its price tag without a few dings and scratches .
conventional wisdom says cars are female , and “ferrari ki sawaari” plays with that idea in its own subtle way . the film has shifted the masala emotional focus from romance to a totally male - centered family love , but the car rolls up to fill some of the tasks that female characters might have played . the ferrari never takes the mother’s place , instead functioning a bit like a very modern , glamour - conscious heroine . vidya balan may get the item song credit , but the car is as central to “ mala jau de ” as ms . balan’s now famous curves . it also gets its own splashy moments , frolicking among fountains and colored lights outside mumbai cricket headquarters and flying through the skies over the city—the ideal fantasy landscapes for these particular heroes , who live such a grounded existence .
commenting on the film ' s performance , nandu ahuja , senior vp - distribution - india , eros international media ltd , ' ' vinod chopra and his team have gained a reputation for presenting clean , entertaining films with a message for the entire family and with ferrari ki sawaari , they have once again won the hearts of the audiences . we are also happy with critics ' reactions to this joyride . the film showed a growth in collections over the weekend viz . saturday showed a 36 % increase over friday , sunday showed a growth of approx 47 % over saturday and sunday over friday was 99 % . ' '
so you have unexplained developments like a character entering sachin tendulkar ' s building and driving off with his ferrari in broad daylight ; the one - of - its - kind ferrari roaming the streets of mumbai without the media or police taking note . and you have a man , whose son has gone missing , talking to the media instead of trying to find him .
summing up , the music album of ferrari ki sawaari is indeed a joyous ride ( like a visit to the theme park ferrari world ! ) that provides music patrons with a such wide variety of songs that is indeed quite rare these days . pritam proves why he is the numero uno as he has composed music that is very much in keeping with the script of the movie , yet the commercial constraints have been taken care of . in fact throughout the album it is difficult to imagine that it is the same composer who gave us race , dhoom series or innumerable sufi chartbusters ( especially for emraan hashmi ) . just shows his versatility and range . in fact one can even mistake it for a shatanu moitra album , and for that vidhu needs to be commended as well . all the songs are good and our picks are ,
and had an advertising - related assignment for which i had to get super cars like lamborghini , rolls - royce and ferrari for a client who made hubcaps for expensive cars . i managed to get all the cars for the shoot except a ferrari . a friend told me about a ferrari parked at pali hill . i went to see the car , and stood outside the building looking at the car because the security guard would not let me in . i remember the thought that came to me then : “what if i steal this car for a day ? what will happen ? ”
plot : in this heart - warming tale of unconditional love between father and son , the pursuit of an indian cricketing legend’s ferrari makes a young boy’s dreams of playing cricket at lords a reality .
indeed , the most fun portions of the film are when these characters are onscreen . babbu didi entering the men ' s loo to seal a business proposition or the watchman describes ferrari ' s engine as
sharman joshi bears the underdog mantle in this film that tries mixing cricket , ferrari and the middle class dream as a saleable combo . he plays rustom , head clerk at the rto office and a widower .
this ferrari ride leads through a chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings . meanwhile , another saga unfolds - a grumpy old man and his secret wounds , and an epic rivalry that goes back 50 years .
mumbai , june 27 : filmmaker rajesh mapuskar , who is busy scripting his next film , a musical , says he will be heading to shillong to research for the project .
i ' m scripting my next film , and it will be a musical film . a lot of research needs to be done and i ' m busy with that ,
mapuskar , who helmed
ferrari ki sawaari
, told ians .
i ' ll be going to shillong for the research work , and then the first draft of the script will be ready ,
he added . mapuskar has clarified that it is not any biopic .
it ' s an original script about music and dance , so i am putting together the story to form a full - fledged screenplay .
the .
a little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . rusy , his father , 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 for one hour . the trouble 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 - hardy like pair of loyal attendants , a greedy politician and his reckless son , and a mechanic who specializes in stolen cars . as the ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings , another saga unfolds about a grumpy old man , his secret wounds , and an epic rivalry that goes back fifty years . a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night , while playing the role of a perfect father . can he do it ? ferrari ki sawaari is a heartwarming story of small guys and their big dreams , and how one night changes their lives forever . fasten your seatbelts . the joyride awaits .
audiences can now enjoy a free simulated ferrari ride sitting before a huge screen on car seats with a steering wheel . this ride is available at select cinemax chain of multiplexes upto the release of the film which is 15th june .
one can count the number of hindi films that are so genuine and have inherent honesty within them . ferrari ki sawaari is one such film . it tugs at your heartstrings , it urges you to scrutinize oneself , it makes you look at the world differently . how many motion pictures can boast of accomplishing all that ? uncomplicated and unpretentious in the truest sense of the word , it’s a film that wins your heart because it’s such a relevant and relatable story . rusy and kayo could be your friends , they could be your kidsâ€¦ who knows they could be a mirror image of yourself . besides , director rajesh mapuskar , who wields the megaphone for the first time , uses the expensive car more as a metaphor for conveying an ordinary man’s larger - than - life dreams and does it so beautifully .
meanwhile , a local wedding planner babbi didi , is organising the wedding of a politician ' s son . she is frantically looking around for a ferrari to hire for the day - a unique demand by the spoilt child of a groom himself .
mumbai , may 11 : actor sharman joshi , son - in - law of veteran actor prem chopra , says they bond really well .

veteran bollywood actor sharman joshi has proven his acting abilities to us time and again with brilliant roles in movies like 3 idiots , ferrari ki sawaari , life in a metro and rang de basanti etc . however , we as an audience can associate him most with his role in the comedy series golmaal . this time he is back again with another movie from the comedy genre – war chhod na yaar ! although he claims that his choice of movies is strictly based on the script of the movie , he has returned back to the comedy genre time and again . this can be proven by his association with each and every installment from the golmaal series , after every serious movie he has done . even though he has declined to be a part of golmaal returns , he is busy with his upcoming film , war chhod na yaar , the first war comedy movie of india . war
a little boy dreams of nothing but cricket and his doting dad can go to any extent to make his son ` s seemingly impossible dream come true . even if it means stealing tendulkar ` s red - hot ferrari for one day of his life .
sharman joshi , who is riding high after the success of his film ferrari ki sawaari ( fks ) , is a very miffed man today . the reason ? well , he feels that the makers of the film 3 bachelors are trying to encash on the success of fks by releasing the film on july 6 this year , which is almost after 10 years of it being made ! sharman , who termed it as sheer opportunism , said that even though he has nothing against the makers of the film 3 bachelors , the fact that they have suddenly woken up now is what is bothering him . he also added that fks has created audiences ' goodwill and to capitalize on its success in this manner is not right . he is worried that the audience should not get an impression that this is his recent film . this take of sharman has apparently not gone down well with the makers of 3 bachelors , who are
she thinks rustom could use his household ' s ' cricketing connections ' to help her borrow sachin tendulkar ' s red ferrari - since it ' s the only one of its kind in mumbai - for the wedding of a goon - turned - politician ' s son .
the past few weeks were abuzz with rumours that sachin is doing a cameo in the film . the buzz was generated because sachin owns a red ferrari in real life , and the film has a car of the same make and colour besides cricket as its central themes .
his son has a dream of playing at lord ' s cricket ground . to fulfill his son ' s dream the honest father performs a small act of dishonesty for the first time in his life . he borrows a red ferrari for an hour but without informing it ' s legendary owner .
rusy then gets a chance to make one - and - a - half lakh rupees by somehow arranging for cricketer sachin tendulkar’s swanky ferrari car for a couple of hours , on the occasion of the marriage of a mumbai politician’s son . although he thinks twice , rusy takes the bait when the opportunity presents itself .
a little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfil 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 on read more
is a song which celebrates the arrival of the ferrari . and last but not the least , one is sure that vidya balan is bound to set the screens alight with her ' lavani ' , ' latkas ' and ' jhatkas ' , and the item number will surely provide the front benchers and single screen ' junta ' as well as all the fans of vidya a new thrilling experience .
a little boy 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 trouble - - he doesn’t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins .
a ride that leads to a host 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 carsâ€¦ as the ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings , another saga unfolds : a grumpy old man [ boman irani ] , his secret wounds and an epic rivalry that goes back fifty years .
. secondly it has been rendered by urmila dhangar , a famous and popular ' lavani ' singer who specializes in such numbers , and needless to add , she is just par excellent ! thirdly it ' s lyrics by guru thakur , which are in keeping with the spirit of the movie . they are cute , decent , humorous , never lewd or cheap or vulgar , and the name ferrari makes an appearance here as well ! in fact it appears from the promos that
but one has to admit it is the peripheral characters that are more interesting than the central . babbi didi ? the loud yet compassionate wedding arranger , the listless watchman of the tendulkar residence ( he feels a ferrari is about as impressive as a scooter as both have only two seats ) , the garage owner who explains how cars are taken apart in dramatic detail ( he has coffee mugs with his photo on it ) , and the chillingly corrupt head of the cricket association .
of course . imagine a line producer getting a chance to direct a film about a father , his son , cricket and a ferrari with vinod chopra productions . it would not have been possible seven years ago . you know , i narrated this story to two producers between the filming of the two munna bhai s and after listening to the story , both asked : “ aur kuch hai kya ( is there anything else ) ? ” i hope they see the film now .
a young kid , kayo [ ritwik sahore ] , thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy [ sharman joshi ] , 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 trouble : he doesn’t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins .
however , the second half fails to an extent because several scenes drag out unnecessarily and do not seem relevant to the main plot . the track of sachin tendulkar’s servant and watchman searching for the ferrari is comic but drags on and irritates . the same applies for the track of the wedding of the mumbai politician’s son . another problem with the narrative is that the scenes where kayo is shown playing cricket do not inspire the viewer or get him to applaud . emotional scenes are effective but don’t make the viewer cry at any point .
at first glance , this car should never even cross paths with the gentle little family at the center of the story . crotchety grandpa deboo ( boman irani ) never leaves the house , upright dad rustom is perfectly content on his law - abiding scooter , and moppety kayo does everything his father tells him , and that too with minimal grumbling . not should it , by any logic , become the literal vehicle of their happiness . on the surface , the ferrari is key to paying for kayo’s cricket camp , but deeper down are very adult realities of lives that didn’t go according to plan .
while the little master’s ferrari is really just a tool , a way to get somewhere , its significance to rustom and his family is greater even than the significance of little kayo setting foot on the green grass of lord’s . like other cinematic cars , it represents making decisions ( though not always good ones ) , excitement and a journey . but as our heroes find out , not just anyone can control such powerful wheels . sometimes you’re the driver , but sometimes other forces mow you down . it’s only by applying what those journeys have taught you that you end up where you’re supposed to be .
when the 66 - year - old megastar left for his regular medical check - up in the us . however , there ' s substantial proof on social media that the actor is absolutely fine and is having a ball of a time overseas . on thursday , a video of rajinikanth began doing the rounds on social media , in which he can be seen enjoying a drive in a ferrari . this appears to be the thalaivar ' s first attempt at a selfie video as he can be seen asking his partner in the driving seat -
i have to press the red button , right ? the video is rolling .
rajinikanth never fails to delight , not even on social media .
a little boy , kayo ( ritvik sahore ) thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy ( sharman joshi ) , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son ` s dream of playing at lords cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy takes a reckless step . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari , just for one hour . the only trouble - he doesnt inform the car ` s legendary owner , sachin tendulkar . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins . a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night , and play the role of a perfect father . can he do it ? ferrarikisawaari is a fun - filled story of small guys and their big dreams and how these dreams turn into a mad comedy of errors .
there are films you want to like , but just stop short of enthusiastically recommending them .
, with its innate charm , is a hearty film but sadly devoid of much logic .
so suppose you suspend logic for a minute , or more likely for the entire length of the film - you ' re still left with a void .
we meet the father - son duo right in the beginning . rusi ( sharman joshi ) ,
head clerk , worli rto
is single - parenting his child kayo ( ritvik sahore ) , a super - talented cricketer and captain of the school team . when kayo is presented with an opportunity to be a part of a worldwide training tournament , rusi is thrilled , but worried about the rs 1 . 5 lakh fee .
the central characters of the film are too simplistically written . perhaps rusi ' s character was meant to be that of a golden - hearted simpleton . but we see a guy with a nervous smile who ' s excited like a child about owning a mobile phone in today ' s day and age , and someone who believes a bank executive will grant him a loan , based on the trophies the child has won .
' act gets on your nerves . but sharman joshi ' s natural likeability and earnestness saves the day somewhat .
boman irani as the disillusioned former cricketer is superb . ritvik sahore ' s restrained performance is far ahead of his years .
on the downside , the film is repetitively manipulative . so we see rusi unable to buy sports shoes for his son , as he can ' t afford them . next we see the kid lose a crucial match due to broken shoes .
then again , as the climax begins , the granddad has to be hospitalised just as the kid goes missing . and we see a tv reporter asking a distraught parent ,
.
it ' s almost like the film is trying too hard for viewer to feel for the characters ' situation .
also , things are wrapped up too conveniently for us to feel the impact of the conflict . if the selection to the tournament is a problem , someone steps in to support ; if the fee is an issue , the money is arranged ; if the money gets misplaced , it is eventually retrieved ; if a character is dejected , we will ultimately see them have a turnaround and so on .
debut director rajesh mapuskar whips up a film that ' s dichotomous in nature . you have the fun portions with the father - son bonding , cricket , and comedy which the viewer is sure to enjoy . and then there ' s the emotionally manipulative part that seems at odds with the first .
still , the film is worth a watch for the former . it may be a bumpy ride , but you ' ll have fun along the way as well .
it is tough to say who contributed more to it . ideating with both was like throwing dough at each other—all three of us gave it the shape we wanted and then threw it back at each other for more inputs . but yes , raju and i have been friends for 22 years , and we look at life similarly . most of my thought processes match the way raju thinks .
no . i never had this thought and even if people say it , that’s fine .
how to write a scene that is really tight on paper . he said if you want to make a scene 5 minutes long on screen , then write only two pages of dialogues , which means 2 minutes . use the remaining time for the treatment of the scene . the tighter the scenes , the faster a film moves and the less time the audience has to think .
you felt sharman joshi would not suit the role . what did he do to convince you that he would ?
sharman wanted to audition for the role right after he heard the script during the filming of 3 idiots . i thought he looked too young for it , even though he is a father in real life and his daughter is around eight years old . at the time he had lost a lot of weight to play a college boy . to convince me , he put on weight , thickened his eyebrows and spoke with a parsi accent .
i come from a small village in raigad district but for holidays , i was sent to mumbai to stay with an aunt who lived in dadar parsi colony . i got acquainted with their music , their furniture and their way of living . for me , they were like foreigners who spoke gujarati and that fascinated me . when i was thinking about the car thief , i asked myself who would be so careful with a vehicle that was not their own—and only a parsi came to mind . i love music and even before the script was decided , i had decided what kind of background music i wanted . i like the sound of the accordion and the harmonica , and those were going to be the instruments used . i couldn’t relate this music to a maharashtrian or punjabi family set - up . it blends well with parsis .
the vision of munna bhai and its characters is raju’s . at best , i am like a chacha ( uncle ) . sure , i love the film and the characters , but i am not as close to them as raju is .
well , yes . a lot of things that you see in rusy’s character ( joshi ) are similar to my father and my relationship with him . the simplicity , lack of inhibition , honesty—that’s my father .
seven - and - a - half years to write the first script… . hope you have the second one going .
yes…but it’s raw . and it will be about music . maybe i will make a documentary on music next and then a film . or maybe make a musical .
the hindi film industry is going through realignment . the mood within the industry is that of experimentation and trialing and a lot is being done , with a wide variety of stories being explored . producer vidhu vinod chopra , first - time director rajesh mapuskar and writer rajkumar hirani choose an intelligible plot , garnish it well with humor and emotions , cast splendid actors and presto , a heart - warming tale of unconditional and unmitigated love between a father and his son is out for public consumption .
a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night and play the role of a perfect father . can he do it ?
i must highlight yet another important fact : sachin tendulkar has an intangible inhabitance in the movie all through . mapuskar , very smartly , keeps the suspense behind the cameo alive right till the finale .
pritam manages to dole out a decent album . the compositions are tuneful and mapuskar places the songs at the appropriate situations in the narrative . the cinematography [ sudheer palsane ] is luminous , while dialogue [ rajkumar hirani ] seem straight out of life .
ritwik sahore is a brilliant discovery . the youngster is cast opposite some of the finest talents of the country and the kid stands up to them in every sequence . he is charming and endearing in the light moments and sparks up the goings - on in moments of anxiety . paresh rawal is superb in a cameo . vidya balan ignites the screen with her lavani number .
