'Firangi'
U/A: Romance-drama
Director: Rajiv Dhingra
Cast: Kapil Sharma, Ishita Dutta, Monica Gill, Aanjjan Srivastav
Rating: 

Midway through Firangi, Kapil Sharma's love interest, Ishita Dutta, tells him, 'Mujhe kuch samaj nahi aa raha hai tu kya kar raha hai.' That's probably what the audience would ask the comic throughout the film. Firangi is boring. The farcical performances and unnecessary melodrama are reminiscent of a bygone era in cinema. Set in 1921, 26 years before India's independence, the movie kicks-off with the familiar baritone of Amitabh Bachchan, whose narrative is redolent of the one he lent in Lagaan (2001). But, why bring up the Aamir Khan blockbuster in the same sentence as Firangi?
