Karthik Aryan is trying to innovate every time as an actor, his golden future is hidden in this effort itself. Cinema also has high hopes from Karthik, who has given six hit films in his 11-year career.
The last month of the going year has started well in terms of cinema. It is teaching new lessons to the filmmakers stuck on old formulas and giving a lot of love to the audience present on OTT to the makers of new type of cinema of the new era. After watching Netflix’s film ‘Kala’, watching Disney+ Hotstar’s film ‘Freddy’ is a great experience from a cine-goer’s point of view. Although in both the films, their directors have tried to read the dark pages of the life of the main characters, but while Anvita Dutt’s film gets lifeline from its supporting cast and music, Shashank Ghosh has done a great job for his film’s hero Karthik Aryan. A ‘Shahrukh Khan moment’ has been created in cinema. Karthik tried to make experimental cinema in his another film ‘Dhamaka’, but there the atmosphere of the story betrayed him, in the film ‘Freddy’ Shashank has created the whole atmosphere in a different color from the beginning.
Karthik Aryan is trying to innovate every time as an actor, his golden future is hidden in this effort itself. Cinema also has high hopes from Karthik, who has given six hit films in his 11-year career. In the film ‘Freddy’, Karthik has come forward to live up to these expectations. His character is that of a dentist. He is a Parsi and is under constant pressure from his relative for marriage. He has also been looking for the right girl for five years, and the situation has come to such an extent that now people have started making fun of him publicly. Freddy’s past is poignant. Its shadow is still on his youth. And, then in his life comes a married woman who is troubled by her husband’s antics. The two meet under uncomfortable circumstances. Being comfortable, they seem to compromise with their circumstances. They meet, fall in love and then that person comes in front of whom everyone falls in love at some point in their life. The mirror of expectations shatters. The splinters sink into the chest, and the human being leaves what he is and becomes something else.
Karthik Aryan’s ‘Shahrukh Khan moment’
Director Shashank Ghosh’s image has been in Hindi cinema since the beginning of making experimental cinema. He may have completely derailed in the recent release of Netflix film ‘Plan A Plan B’, here he has got full support of his hero in the film ‘Freddy’. Kartik Aaryan has a stubbornness and a passion to prove himself time and again. As an actor, he is on the path of Shah Rukh Khan in his early days. The film ‘Freddy’ also provides him an opportunity like ‘Darr’ and ‘Baazigar’. He has also tried his best to undergo physical transformation to play the role of a demure aging doctor. His facial expressions in close up shots also impress. Freddy’s repeated attraction to the female body forms the initial images of his character, and he subverts the metaphor of these images later in the film, winning accolades.
lack of strong supporting cast
The film ‘Freddy’ has given its director Shashank Ghosh such a foothold in Hindi cinema, standing on which he can take lessons from the past mistakes of his career and decide the way ahead. He has given Hindi cinema a film like ‘Veere Di Wedding’, which has taught the audience the new meaning of female friendship. This is a trendsetter film. Bringing famous artists of their era in such films is the victory of their branding. The problem with him in the film ‘Freddy’ is that he brought a big hero but failed to gather well-known or better acting faces around him. The screenplay of the film is woven only and only around Freddy. There are no interpolations running along with the original story, nor is there any other character in the film who can divert the attention of the audience from Karthik Aryan even for a while.
Another chance for Alaya F and Parvez Shaikh
Alaya, the heroine of the film ‘Freddy’, which was the top number one in the direction and acting of Karthik, is the granddaughter of famous actor Kabir Bedi. His mother Pooja Bedi has been a beautiful actress in Hindi cinema. Viewers have seen Alaya in the film ‘Jawani Jaaneman’. Here she looks better than in her first film but she still has a lot to learn in acting. Her acting just seems veiled, she is missing out on losing herself in the character. The film’s writer Parvez Sheikh has also been trying to make a mark in Hindi cinema with shocking stories. After Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Queen’, though his written films did not get the expected success at the box office except ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, but he continues to write diverse stories, that is his real success. For the fans of experimental films, the film ‘Freddy’ is a film that manages to surprise this weekend.
Patience is necessary to get lost in the world of ‘Freddy’
The film ‘Freddy’ takes patience to watch as the film takes a while to get the audience into its fold, but once the viewer is attuned to Freddy, Freddy takes them along for a hitchhiking ride. .
