Plot

Rustom Deboo (Sharman Joshi), also known as Rusy, is a lower-middle-class Parsi head clerk at the Worli Regional Transport Office in Mumbai. Since his wife died, he resides in a small apartment in the Parsi colony along with his young, school-going son, Kayoze Deboo (Ritvik Sahore), also known as Kayo, and his elderly, grumpy father, Behram Deboo (Boman Irani). Rusy is a completely honest and upright man who teaches his son to emulate him. Kayo has an extreme obsession with cricket with lots of promises, but his father is unable to purchase him enough cricket clothing and equipment because of his meager income. Kayo's school organises a cricket camp in Lord's Cricket Ground, London, which would provide Kayo a chance to play with his role model, Sachin Tendulkar. Rusy decides that his son will attend this camp in spite of the hefty fee of 1.5 lakh. The hopeless Behram, who is lamenting the tragedy that changed the game of his life, believes that Kayo just wastes his time in playing cricket and unsuccessfully warns Rusy against sending his son to London. Rusy tries every trick in his book to put the money together, but all his efforts go in vain.

In an attempt to fulfill his son's dream, Rusy reluctantly performs his first act of dishonesty by somehow stealing the gleaming red Ferrari car owned by Sachin Tendulkar just for a couple of hours. The only problem is that the naive Rusy does not inform the legendary owner of the car about it. A wild, breathless, bumpy ride begins that leads to a menagerie of amazing characters: a marriage planner who will stop at nothing; a greedy politician and his reckless son; a Laurel-and-Hardyesque pair of loyal attendants; and a mechanic who specialises in stolen cars. As the Ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street thugs and collective marriages, another saga unfolds – Behram and his secret injuries and an epic rivalry that goes back 38 years. Rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night and play the role of a perfect father. Can he do it? Ferrari Ki Sawaari is a fun-filled story of small guys and their big dreams and how these dreams turn into a mad comedy of errors. Fasten your seatbelts. The joy ride awaits.

Cast

Production

Rajesh Mapuskar has worked as an associate director on films such as 3 Idiots (2009) and Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006); in fact the idea of the film came to him during the post-production work of Lage Raho Munna Bhai, when for an advertising assignment he went out looking for expensive cars in Mumbai, he found them all except a Ferrari. Eventually, he managed to track a Ferrari parked at Pali Hill. This gave him the idea, "What if I steal this car for a day? What will happen?", which developed into the idea of Sachin Tendulkar's Ferrari and the script was developed over the next seven and a half years along with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. [4]
