Small-town residents with big dreams descending to Mumbai and facing hordes of struggles is a great recipe for a heartwarming, funny and touching film. Many memorable films have been based on this plot, from Raj Kapoor’s Shree 420 to Farhan Akhtar-starrer Luck By Chance and many more. Future To Bright Hai Ji is an addition to the long list of such films. The makers seemed clearly inspired from Hrishikesh Mukherjee brand of cinema and have done a decent job, but only at places. Overall, the execution, script and most importantly, humour is plain average. The story of the movie: Ajay Kumar (Aamir Bashir) is an assistant writer of a daily soap and is married to Sonia Singh (Sonal Sehgal), a small-time television actress who plays the role of a character twice her actual age. Both are unhappy with the way their career is progressing and are also not content with their rented place. One fine day, they manage to meet a world renowned astrologer who predicts that their life is going to change in the next 7 days. The same day, Ajay meets Verma (Vipin Sharma), politician-turned-builder-turned-producer who assigns him the task of writing the script for a film that will launch his son. However, he is supposed to submit the script in a week or else… The next day, the loud-mouthed Sonal fights with their landlord and pressurizes Ajay to move to an upmarket housing society. While Ajay gets busy in adhering to his wife’s wishes, he doesn’t get time and chance to script for Varma. On the other hand, getting possession of their new house becomes problematic with each passing day. Will they come out of the mess soon? Will Ajay be able to script for Varma in time? Will their future indeed turn bright within 7 days? The first thing that catches one’s attention is the setting of the film which is as authentic as it can be. Most of the films tend to maybe unintentionally add the filmy element when depicting the houses of the strugglers in Mumbai. The initial rented house of Ajay-Sonia looks straight out of real life, even if that makes production values seem sub-standard. A similar setting can be seen in the other house of the couple, the temple, the society office etc. Although film is breezy and keeps one engrossed for the entire 117 minutes duration, there’s not much of humour in most part of the film although there was scope for it. The script was decent but direction isn’t extra-ordinary, which also is a spoiler. On the positive side, few scenes here and there leave a mark. Performances are lovely and the animation is very wittily incorporated in the film. The star of the film is undoubtedly Sonal Sehgal. She looks immensely cute and delivers a terrific performance. She wears glamorous outfits but it doesn’t border on vulgarity or doesn’t seem cheap or titillating at all. She plays the role of a loud-mouthed and immature girl but not once does she get on viewer’s nerves. It’s unfortunate that we don’t get to see her often. Aamir Bashir, (best remembered for his role as Jimmy Shergill’s colleague in ‘A Wednesday!’) does a fabulous job but most importantly, proves that he can effectively play the leading actor in a film. Satish Kaushik (real estate agent Pinky Singh) dominates in all the scenes that feature him. Vipin Sharma was fine in the negative role. Neelima Azim (Romilla) and Nikhil Ratnaparkhi (Abid) were over-the-top while Anant Jog (Inspector Bhope), Payal Singh (Taniya Arora), Rajesh Khera (Taniya’s wife), Asrani (Anand Motwani) and Delnaaz Irani (Fansibai Patel) were good in their respective roles. Although it’s a typical Hindi film entertainer, there was no scope for songs and thankfully, there’s only one track which also has been relegated to background. Rakesh Yadav’s production design, as said before, is a major highlight and plus point of the film. Few dialogues are damn witty. Sanjay Amar’s story was relatable and had trappings of an entertainer. However, his execution is nothing special. But thankfully, the film doesn’t get boring, loud, over-the-top anywhere and keeps one hooked from start to finish. Moreover, it’s a clean film with no unnecessary adult jokes or mandatory item songs. Neat effort, though it could had been surely better. On the whole, Future To Bright Hai Ji is strictly average fare. Watch out for Sonal Sehgal, a powerhouse of talent! As for the film, it’s surely not something worth spending 200-250 bucks in a Cineplex. But it’s an ideal watch during a lazy Sunday afternoon on television/DVD. https://fenilandbollywood.com/2012/10/31/movie-review-future-to-bright-hai-ji-by-fenil-seta/
