A welcome Friday August 24, 2012, for Bollywood movie watchers, especially middle aged ones. Two movies released August 24, 2012, include the Boman Irani-Farah Khan starrer 'Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi' is a break from the usual romance comedies. It is a unique and a suave comedy without traces of blunt sex or double meaning dialogues of the likes of 'The Dirty Picture' or 'Vicky Donor'. It's a great blend of the essential ingredients like romance, clean sex, wit and humor, a well crafted story and a good screenplay. Most of all, its pivotal characters are superb as matured artists. Such a clean movie is rare in today's scenario. The credit is shared by producer Sanjay Bhansali, debutant director Bela Bhansali Sehgal, Boman Irani and Farah Khan, very well supported by Daisy Irani and Shammi. The title is the commonly used proverb, meaning that Shirin Farhad have won a lottery! This is justified when two middle aged persons happen to fall for each other - a prized win of sorts!
In the movie, a 45 year old Parsi named Farhad played by Boman Irani is single and an executive in a showroom selling undergarments. He lives with his loving mother played by Daisy Irani and grandmother yesteryears actress Shammi. Boman's mother and grandmother pressurize him to marry otherwise their Parsi community will extinct. In fact, they visit homes of prospective brides but get rejected because of Boman's humble and typical job. As the luck would have it, one day, 40 year old Farah Khan enters Boman's lingerie shop and falls in love with the shy but otherwise honest man. Here's the Bollywood twist, albeit a cute one. Boman is asked by his mom to fire the secretary of the Trust that owns their flat for dismantling the overhead tank built by his late father. Incidentally, the Trust secretary is none other than his dream girl Farah. A rather odd circumstance, yet they are simply excited to be brought together again and love blossoms. Excited Boman tells his family.
