'Firangi' review: Kapil Sharma's attempt at image change is not quite convincing
Firangi suffers because of poor writing and poor editing
For a TV star, Firangi is an ambitious project. Kapil Sharma's second big outing at the movies has him playing a do-gooder, slow-witted orderly of a British Officer in 1920's Punjab. Sharma turns producer for the period film and one can see how desperate he is to come out of his set image of a comic. Which is why Firangi is an ambitious film for the stand-up comic-turned-actor. It's a gamble that Sharma plays with but the result is not necessarily a good one.
In love with Sragi (Ishita Dutta ), Sharma's character Manga wants to win her and her family over and get married. Sharma's boss, British Officer Daniel though wants the village to be evacuated as he wants to setup a liquor factory there in partnership with the local king Inderjeet (Kumud Mishra) While the King and Daniel want to use Manga as their pawn against the villagers, Manga wants to be other side and win his love.
