Farrey is the story of Niyati and Akash, two toppers from a poor background. Niyati is living with her foster parents and the foster kids while Akash works as a part time delivery boy. When they get admission at the no.1 college in the city, their world collides with another, the richer kind. What starts of as helping fellow classmates to cheat and pass the term exams, gets bigger as the two get engulfed in the vicious circle, with the offer of big money. Will these kids get back to the world they belong or get torn apart by the new world they got stuck in forms rest of the story.
The beauty of Farrey lies in it's writing and how grounded the scenes remain to reality. With the couple of songs initially feel deliberately added as it is a Bollywood film, I really couldn't find anything else to complain about. The first half goes on smoothly with establishing all the key characters. It is all mostly fun here with the cheating scenes and kids being kids till the interval block. All the heavy duty scenes are left for the second half which is where the film truly wins.
Alizeh as Niyati comes up with a solid performance which can be called as the best debut of the year so far. Another stupendous performance is from Sahil Mehta as Akash, especially in the final act. Ronit Roy stands out and lends superb support, his scenes leave a lasting impact. The supporting cast involving the rich kids are good too in their respective roles though only Zeyn Shaw as Prateek and Prasanna Bisht as Chhavi get better written characters. Arbaaz Khan in his cameo is first rate, for a dad putting unfair pressure on his daughter, it is the smile of his that haunts.
Getting back to the second half, the heavy drama involved here is well handled by the actors and kudos to the director to getting this performance out of each of them. That fine line between rich and poor is much clear here where rich always get away and it is the poor who needs to look for a second chance. It is not how dark the characters get to behave but the stark realization the main lead gets to have while she confesses to her father which comes out perfectly. I am going with an higher writing solely for this take.
