Freaky Ali, inspired by Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore, is a sweet film. The treatment is light-hearted, the dialogue pedestrian but very funny in parts and the film has its heart in the Bollywood space; meaning, often the ridiculous does better than the sublime. The soul and the star of the film is Nawazuddin, who can do no wrong - whether he is happy, sad, freaky or straight, he’s a superstar in his own right. He gets every nuance correct. What’s more, he even gets a girl Megha ( Amy Jackson) to romance. His attempt at song and dance and self-deprecating humour is to be applauded.
