Its been an amazing to watch the acting. I loved Shahid's dialogue delivery, Vijays acting and how he beautifully managed accent and dialects. Fresh story, very good actors and solid punches.
Narration is super crisp, connected and well crafted. After a long time, i watched something natural and no filmy/fancy. Director has hand picked people for each roles and delivered with maximum impact. Each character from Chachu to Firoz to Nanu to Kay Kay has done justice to their roles. This is something you cannot miss if you want to watch powerful acting, thrilling story.
An absolute and a MUST watch.

8.5/10
As an ardent follower of Raj and DK and their previous endeavours, I had been anticipating their new show since it was first announced last year, and now that I have finally finished it, I can confidently tell that my patience was rewarded.
It is gritty, it is dark, and most importantly, it puts the emphasis where it was required: on the characters and the places they come from.
Shahid, Vijay, Kay Kay, Raashi; the cast had no shortage of talent, so it was rather a challenge to balance out all of their screentime as well as relevance in the script, which I believe Raj and DK accomplished admirably. Big props to the entire cast too, for their dedication and full commitment to their roles, especially Shahid & Vijay; this is their first time on an OTT platform, and they knocked it out of the park, no doubts whatsoever.
The most impressive thing for me however is that, despite having lengthy episodes (nearly an hour each), I was never bored, not for a single moment. There was always something interesting going on, something cooking, and that kept my mind occupied and engrossed throughout. And I can say the same only for a handful of other shows out there.
I'm already looking forward to the next season!
Bring it on, and bring it on fast!

I have a habit of fast forwarding scenes but I tell you every single minute here counts.. I had to rewind those 5 - 10 seconds which I missed. This is the perfection and in future it seems to get married to Family man! The hint was dropped in the series!
Every actor, every scene is perfectly crafted and an excellent research on the topic, as if the actual people behind this were interviewed :)
If there is no back ground music and we don't know the actors this might come as a docuseries as well ha ha :) :) - pun intended

FANTABOLOUS
No crap just straight topoint..
#ShahidKapoor Just nailed it 👌🏻 but The conversation b/w minister & Sethupathi is the major highlight ... Just wow. And the epic style of dialogue delivery, outstanding👌🏻sense of humour, precise comic timing = VijaySethupathi Sir, He is genius, He again prove there is No need of Six Packs to be a good actor.
The plot itself is the gold-medalist, where the one-liners, actors, characters, writing & humor are the flag-bearers. RajNDK never fails in content. A RECOMMENDED WEEKEND WATCH . Don't miss it just open the prime and enjoy the thrill of RAJ AND DK.

When it comes to entertainment Raj & Dk are perfectionalist to the core ,they are completely control of audience pulse and can convince them much better...
With a tried not tested kind of plot the duo does take time to settle may be an episode of two,but the path breaking ground work behind each statistics and analysis won't come so easily which is clearly visible on screen but this duo does these kind of things coz they hugely trust the castings and their ability...
Bhuvan Arora and Vijay sethupathi stealers of the shows with their natural ability to carry over the screenplay on their shoulder at ease ...
When the "LAST OF US " are countering problems in seeking attention...this "FARZI" depends entirely on the plot based scripting and screenplay supported by superb casting but wait the crackers are just lit watch the fireworks on season 2 for sure u will be out in a roller coaster ride with some visual brilliance...

Farzi is a stellar watch. Raj & DK outdo themselves with this original crime caper. Outstanding storytelling. A dream cast of Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi and Kay Kay Menon at the top of their game. Brilliant performances by a terrific ensemble. The writing is sharp and witty, all thanks to Raj & DK along with Sumana Kumar and Sita Menon. The production value is top notch. The cinematography is amazing. The attention to details is the USP of this series. The amount of hard work put on the table by the cast and crew is incredible to watch. One of the best shows to come out of an Indian OTT space in recent times. Do not miss this.

The series grips up into the world in the first two episodes, and keeps you on the edge of your seat through the last three. Their biggest victory as a story teller lies in the fact that you are relating to the journey of two protagonists - Sunny and Firoz - and there are times when you don't want the characters to take a certain decision, as deep within they are the middle class families, trying to make it big. While there are multiple characters introduced through the 8-episode series, Raj and DK manage to give every character their moment of glory and intertwines it seamlessly into the narrative. Despite being a web series, the emotions of Farzi are very rooted and relatable, something that director duo of Raj and DK have mastered in through their Family Man Franchise and now, Farzi. The entire Zakir Hussain track is a riot and the finest moments of the series lie in the interactions of Micheal and Pawan Gahlot. Farzi isn't just a cat and mouse race between the characters, but also their actors to be at their best. Once again, Shahid Kapoor makes a statement on why he is among the best actors of the country, as he leaves a mark with his act as Sunny. Vijay Sethupathi also makes a powerful digital debut and aces his character of Micheal. What works beautifully is his seamless style of mouthing those sarcastic one-liners as that lends a unique arc to his character. Kay Kay Menon as Mansoor too gets his moments to shine but the best as an actor is kept for the finale. Bhuvan Arora as Firoz is the find of Farzi and one will hear his name frequently in the times to come by. Raashii Khanna too gets an author backed character, playing RBI Officer, Megha Vyas, and is confident through her presence in the series. Can't Wait for Season 2 and also to explore more of this Raj & DK universe..!!

Raj & DK have been hitting it out of the park with their content for a while now. I was introduced to them a little later with The Family Man series in 2019 and have watched a good amount of their content since. The duo is back now with their new series, Farzi. This series is a crime thriller dealing with counterfeit money and some relatable characters with grounded motives, problems, and grey shades.
Farzi is majorly about Sunny, an artist, whose predicaments and financial issues lead him into the world of crime, specifically by counterfeiting money and rising through the underworld through this. The series also follows Michael, an investigative officer, along with Megha, ex-RBI officer, who are on a mission to catch the creator of these counterfeit notes and clean the system. How Sunny meets Michael's nemsis of Mansoor, a major underworld king pin, and gets involved in a larger mess makes up this season.
The series has an interesting premise for sure with the crime thriller set-up, but what makes us love Farzi, much like other Raj & DK works is the groundedness of the characters. They have real problems and characteristics. Michael is dealing with divorce and the emotions of losing custody of his son. Megha is done with being seen as a boring loner, working the boring RBI job. Sunny lost his parents at a young age and was taken care of by his grandfather, who is struggling financially for his press and also falling ill with age.
The standards have been set high for cinematography. Prime did not skimp on the movie and have funded it properly, and Raj/DK made good use of the provided money. The series has great visuals along with the color grading setting a dark tone which works aptly with the crime thriller genre. A gritty setting is used which works well for the story.
The acting is top notch in the series. The best talent has been brought in through Vijay Sethupathi who plays a Tamilian, and his broken Hindi is pleasant to hear along with his dark, dry humour working in dull moments. Shahid Kapoor does well, these dark roles really work for him, although some scenes he looks rather blank. Bhuvan Arora stood out amongst the new talent as Firoz, he is quite a fun side kick. Kay Kay Menon kills it in the role of a Mafia king pin, while Rashi Khanna explores a new side of her self as Megha and delivers well.
As of this initial season, the one issue which irked me with the series was that some parts of the episodes felt lengthy and full. Though the screenplay was good the episodes may have benefited from being 40 min long instead of the hour long episodes we got. There were multiple parts where I was checking how much longer was left. Maybe a schedule release with more gaps between episodes could have benefited in this sense as well.
Overall, a great first season which is bringing us into the world of Farzi. This is a solid crime thriller which is not only a must watch for Raj & DK fans, but also fans of crime/thriller genre.
7.5/10.

This show is a Banger . Excellent Cast , Depth in Characters and Brilliant Story Telling. That's how a Crime Thriller should be . Once you Start Watching the Show you will binge it for sure. Shahid Kapoor , Vijay Sethupati , Kay Kay Menon , Zakir Khan, Amol Palekar all are excellent. Can't wait now for S2 as it ended on a High Note. The Universe that Raj and DK are planning is exciting and interesting . Shahid is the Hero of the show and he proves how good actor he is. For me After Mirzapur and Family Man this is the Best Series coming from India
Must watch for sure . A Perfect 10 from my side.

Farzi is a crime drama thriller show directed by krishna dk and raj nidimoru.
Shahid kapoor as sunny is outstanding. He portrays a calm yet very ambitious character superbly. Also, shahid possesses a certain mumbai swag in him which he channelizes exceptionally. Vijay sethupathi plays michael and plays it effortlessly. He is nonchalant, careless, but extremely dedicated and workaholic. Vijay's comic timing is very laidback yet effective. Bhuvan arora as firoz shines through the screens. His chemistry with shahid will be remebered for years to come. Both have worked it out so beautifully. Kay kay menon, on the other hand, is a comic ruthless gangster. Whenever kay kay and shahid come together on screen, its fireworks. Ask vishal bharadwaj about haider if you doubt it. Rashi khanna was good, a polite yet dedicated RBI officer. Amol palekar as nanu will surely bring a wide smile on your face as he has done over the long years. The performances are extremely competetive.
The writing in this series is of gold standard. The characters that the makers have etched out is outstanding. You see the characters of sunny and firoz, you feel for them from the first episode itself. Beaten by the system, they want to make a cut by hook or by crook. Michael has personal problems with his wife, you see that he has failed as a husband and father but still you feel for him because of the performance and also due to the context of it. The chemistry between michael and pawan gahlot works big time. They have got the most hilarious and meme worthy dialogues between them. Zakir hussain has played the minister wonderfully.
The commentary this series makes about the system and its corruption, red tapism is very relevant and contemporary. The divisions of class, economic strata divide, how it gives context to people's actions is written beautifully. The screenwriting is a masterclass in itself. For instance, during a chase, the police go back and forth between their car and the perperators in the mumbai traffic. The way the makers have made space for humour in the direst of situations is outstanding. The comedy in general is terrific, this makes farzi a raj and dk show. Also, the detailing and research that has gone behind the notes and currency, its making techniques, the technicalities is marvellous.
The music is astounding as well. The score consists of the generic beats, the synth portions, and it elevates the series further. The music is also pretty good. 'Paisa hai toh', 'fark nai padta', 'sab farzi' are peppy numbers while 'aasmaan' is such a soulful indie vibe. You will like the music for sure. The cinematography is great. There are no speciifc raj and dk long shots but the way the camera angles have been handled gives the premiumness to the show.
The dialogues in this show is just hilarious and outstanding. The scenes between michael and pawan have been largely elevated due to the dialogues.
If we are to say negatives, then i wish the love story between sunny and megha would have been handled better. I mean every character and their chemistry got a closure barring that aspect. So yeah, this is one outstanding show. I rate it 9.5.

Overall the web series has 8 episodes all the character development has been very well established with few characters background kept secret which I think will be shown in season 2. All the actors have performed well Shahid Kaoor, Raashii Khanna, K K, Veteran actor Amol Palekar and Bhuvan Arora all are good but Vijay Sethupathi has absolutely nailed in few scenes his Comic timing is so good that one watching will laugh out loud. Vijay Sethupathi performance is a masterpiece and will be loved by all Farzi from starting till the end scene is a absolute thriller , eagerly waiting for Season 2....

This was fun! The story was...nothing mind-blowing, but how it was told, the writing along with the performances made it worth the binge.
The acting first - Shahid Kapoor has, IMO, not really received the props that he deserves. His work shines through he plays this gray shade and this show gives him a chance to do that.
I'm of the opinion that Vijay Sethupathi plays all his roles the same way which, for me, takes away the fun out of his characters. This, also done the same way, however was very enjoyable because I've never seen him speak in Hindi. S/O whomever wrote the dialogues for Michael Vedanayagam, the 'nakkal' in Hindi just hits different. You've gotta watch it to see what I mean.
The supporting cast on this show was really good as well. Raashi Khanna was given a good role, well written, impactful on the storyline - unlike some of the movie roles I've seen her do. Kay Kay Menon - pay close attention to his eyes and eyebrows in the context of his dialogue deliveries - I was fascinated by the quirks that he brought to the role. Bhuvan Arora did a great job along with Shahid. Acting highlight in show - Zakir Hussain as Minister Gahlot was epic and his chemistry with Vijay Sethupathi was HILARIOUS.
The show does have some plot conveniences that made me roll my eyes briefly and I wish it had more 'intense' moments, but that's just me nitpicking.
Blink and you'll miss the Raj & DK universe. Prime universe? What are we calling it? Very eager to see where this goes. Very eager to see if they do a spin-off about Michael Vedanayagam.
Would def watch Season 02, and I think you will enjoy this as well.

Farzi is a cat-and-mouse chase, fast-paced crime thriller that blends humor and suspense with aplomb. Raj & DK's signature style is evident in every frame, as they weave a complex tale of counterfeit currency, ambition, and the pursuit of justice.
Shahid Kapoor's portrayal of Sunny Sharma is a revelation. His transformation from a struggling artist to a mastermind counterfeiter is both captivating and chilling. Sunny's intelligence, resourcefulness, and unwavering loyalty to his friends make him a compelling protagonist.
Vijay Sethupathi's Michael is a force to be reckoned with. His intense dedication to his job is matched only by his unorthodox methods. His character arc, from a by-the-book officer to a man willing to bend the rules, adds depth to the narrative.
Bhuvan Arora's Firoz is the heart and soul of the series. His loyalty, innocence, and comedic timing are infectious. His character's growth from a naive assistant to a key player in the operation is heartwarming.
Farzi is a feast for the eyes. The cinematography captures the vibrant chaos of Mumbai, contrasting it with the sleek world of high-stakes crime. The production design is meticulous, creating a believable and immersive environment.
The series effectively balances humor and suspense, keeping the audience engaged throughout. The witty dialogues and unexpected comedic moments provide a welcome break from the intense action sequences. However, the show never loses sight of its core plot, ensuring a satisfyingly thrilling conclusion. The climax, with its high-stakes chase and revelations, is a satisfying conclusion to the story.
However, the series does have its flaws. Some plot points feel rushed, and the romantic subplot could have been explored in more depth. Despite these minor shortcomings, Farzi is a thrilling ride that showcases the strengths of its creators.
Farzi is a thrilling ride that showcases the talents of its creators and cast. It's a series that will keep you hooked from start to finish. While it may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it's definitely a standout in the crowded landscape of Indian web series.

Good story, excellent acting. But quite a few flaws in script and direction. Especially the last episode. Placed in 2021 it looks idiotic that law enforcement could not seal the parking lot of a mall. It is also unbelievable that phones of investigating officers are not sanitized. The initial raid in Nepal also appeared amateurish with security walking into hotel with no lookouts from the criminal's bodyguards. The overall script and storyline is great. The detailing of the crime is excellent as is the hallmark of earlier DK Raj production. Do not get mislead by the first 30 mts of first episode. The web series starts slow but then picks up a consistent pace.
Vijay sethupathi is too good and hella natural actor all time favorite 💙 what a series ended at a very good note.. Shahid kapoor is good as well whole casting is done brilliantly there is no bgm though like scam but here and there feels like its a scam lookalike Acting dialogue story everything is top notch K K menon is too good funny thing is i thought he is biggest villain but hella no upper hand on him is going to reveal in second part special mention Sethupathi dialogues in hindi were done brilliantly The only problem i have with multiple series are nudity and foul language as it cant be watchable with family thank god nudity isnt there in this one but language is very obscene its a request if makers can make any clean crime thriller series waiting for the one 👍🏻👍🏻 This is something you cannot miss if you want to watch powerful acting, thrilling story Their biggest victory as a story teller lies in the fact that you are relating to the journey of two protagonists like you just cant stop yourself supporting the bad guy you want him to win because you have seen his good side as well and there are times when you don't want the characters to take a certain decision Farzi isn't just a cat and mouse race between the characters but also their actors to be at their best Shahid kapoor suits very well in the roles of criminal and romantic hero genre movies or series Kay Kay Menon as Mansoor too gets his moments to shine but the best as an actor is kept for the finale I didnt want series to end its that gripping
Cant wait for next season Veteran actor Amol Palekar and Bhuvan Arora all are good but Vijay Sethupathi has absolutely nailed in few scenes his Comic timing is so good that one watching will laugh out loud have a habit of fast forwarding scenes but I tell you every single minute here counts.. I had to rewind those 5 - 10 seconds which I missed Raj & DK outdo themselves with this original crime caper. Outstanding storytelling. A dream cast of Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi and Kay Kay Menon at the top of their game. Brilliant performances by a terrific ensemble Just watch it, and I bet you can't leave your couch without finishing all the episodes you will fall in love with the character in the movie. You will end up watching in one day because of story acting production.

Farzi is unlike earlier Raj and DK famous series The Family Man which in both the season not looked boring or stretched but this looked like an effort to unnecessarily took the narrative to the next season.
Even if they want second series this should be fast paced and can be end in 5 or 6 episodes. Apart from length the series has an amazing story-line, good dialogues and awesome performances specially Bhuvan Arora and Kay Kay Menon. Shahid Kapoor,Vijay Sethupati,Rashi Khanna, Amol Palekar all reprise their role nicely.
I hope to watch more thrill,more twists - turns and fun in the next season.

Loved this webseries...a very unique and a different story plot...very well executed...chemistry of gahlot and michael is too good(its like i was literally waiting for their scenes).....i felt a little less depth in shahid's character in contrast to kay kay menon sir(mansoor )...despite of that i think everyone did well in acting area...at some points story felt a bit slow and couldnt
kept me with it but those were just 4-5 scenes im talking about not a big issue....the cinematography was good i loved the vibe and the rawness was a cherry on top...i didnt like vfx that much but yeah i know its a webseries but still they could have done better....thanx.
