Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ghazwan124 To start with I am impressed with the fact the director who made a commercial masala film like Cocktail actually made this film. Finding Fanny is not a regular Bollywood film, it's for a very niche audience. Most filmmakers say that their films are different but take my word for it because this one is actually different.The story revolves around five characters and is set in a village called Pocolim in Goa where life is slow and simple. Their needs are minimal and they live what I would call a retired life. A young widow Angie (Deepika Padukone) decides to help the old postman of the village Fredie (Naseeruddin Shah) to find his long lost love. He is depressed because it's now, after 46 years he finds out that the love letter he wrote to the woman he loved actually never reached her.In this mission of Finding Fanny, Angie ropes in her mother-in-law Rosie (Dimple Kapadia) the self-appointed Lady of Pocolim who calls the shots and throws her weight around with the locals. Savio (Arjun Kapoor) who loved Angie many years ago is back in town, he will drive the car as he is the only one who can, the car which belongs to Don Pedro, an artist who's interested in Rosalina. It actually is not the destination that matters here but it's the journey of these five characters completely different from each other but with clean hearts. There is an undercurrent of humour in the film, in fact some scenes will leave you in splits.Acting is top class. All the five actors Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor display their best talent and put up an amazing show.Saurabh Dwivedi's review | Cinematography by Anil Mehta does a terrific job. The film is very well crafted. Music by Mathias Duplessy and Sachin-Jigar is perfect for this film. It's tough to get the music right, which plays a very important role and here it's clearly in sync with the director's vision. If you are expecting a masala film because it has Bollywood's current top actress Deepika Padukone then you will be disappointed because it's not one!?With Being Cyrus, Cocktail and now Finding Fanny Homi Adajania's filmography is quite a cocktail. To pull this off and make it entertaining is not easy, but it's clear he is an extremely talented filmmaker. If you are up for watching something different then go and watch Finding Fanny, you won't be disappointed. Habeb Al_janaby

aurawater Acting 10/10.Story 9/10.Pace of Movie 1/10.For me it is quite boring.But for critics it can be very interesting.Think not twice but thrice before killing your 90 min.This is a story of only 5 people Helping Naseer-ud-Din Shah (Fernando) to find his love (Fanny) to whom he never conveyed his feeling. He came to know the letter he wrote to her in which he expresses his love never reached her. After 46 years he decided to tell her that he loves her. THIS IS THE PLOT TO FIND FANNY AND TELL HER.

anubhavparsh finding fanny (Spoiler Alert !)It's not about a butt-If you went into the theatre expecting a movie about a group of people engaged in a quest to find a butt, you will be disappointed.. Turns out it's about finding a person named after butts. As expected, the two good things about the movie are Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapur. Naseeruddin plays a guy who loved a woman 46 years ago but got no reply when he wrote her a letter asking her hand in marriage. He is also an earnest man who's earnestness often seems to border on autism. On finding out that the letter was never delivered, he along with a rag tag bunch of eccentric individuals essential in every road trip movie embark on a quest(I would've sued the postal department first) to find fanny....still sounds sexual. Shah almost singlehandedly carries the film on his droopy shoulders. Pankaj Kapur on the other hand plays a highly non autistic person who likes to look at female body parts when no one is looking at him. But he's pretty awesome and also singlehandedly carries the film . So I guess what I'm trying to say is they both singlehandedly carry the movie ... ? Anyway ..he also dies btw . But in a cool 'I got shot in the head while two people were playing with a gun in the front seat of a car when the gun went off putting a bullet in my forehead but nobody realised it and i fell out of the car a bit later as the door was open and landed in a large river body and nobody really noticed that either' way.2 other people and a cat also die btw. Dimple Kapadia's butt essays the role of the love interest of Pankaj Kapur prior to that. Also, as expected, Arjun Kapoor plays 'guy with beard or stubble'. Something Abhishek Bachchan had mastered until people discovered other people with beards. Kapoor is 'Savio De Gama', a name I only remember cos it reminded me of Paresh Rawals iconic 'kiske mama ki gun hai ?' . Anyway, he has had the hots for Deepika Padukone for a long while.. why, you ask ? It's cos they're the only two people in their age bracket in the movie. So it's natural. That's why. Why hasn't he ever spoken of his feelings? Cos he's a man.. with a beard. Also seen is Ranveer Singh, who is on screen for about 20 seconds. Which is just the right amount of Ranveer Singh for any movie. All in all, it's a slow movie , but it does teach us that we need to pursue love before its too late, and that 46 years is the right amount of time you need to get over someone, and that letters are not a reliable form of communication and postmen suck.P.s- Will he find her, will they end up together, you ask? Nope . She's dead. A cat also dies somewhere in between .

Sayan Ganguly Okay, Homi Adajania is back ! His first venture 'Being Cyrus' was at par with Hollywood standards; however, his next 'Cocktail' was equally disparaging. So, when I went for Finding Fanny, I did not know what to expect from this movie. And boy, what a movie it was !This movie is at par with directors like Alexander Payne and Alfonso Cuaron. In fact, half way through the movie, one might even forget that he is watching a bollywood movie. The cinematography, the direction, the background scores are breathtakingly beautiful. The ensemble cast of five, carry the movie amazingly well. The story, as in all road movies, is almost the same, five quirky characters set out on a road trip that will change their lives forever. The brilliance of any road movie is in that of the portrayal of the characters involved in it, and that being said, the real challenge of any road movie is in its characterization. That is where this movie stands out ! The performance by veterans like Dimple Kapadia, Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor is brilliant. However, in my opinion, it is Pankaj Kapoor who shines above all. He is the Indian equivalent of Paul Giamatti !Finding Fanny would give one the feel of watching a Wes Anderson or a Alexander Payne movie; and people who loves movies like 'Everything is Illuminated', 'Sideways', 'Little Miss Sunshine', or our Indian equivalent 'Road, movie' (The Abhay Deol starrer); would definitely love this one.
