'Farzi' series storyline

The 08-episode long series highlights a protagonist, Sunny who lives off by selling recreated paintings of the artists. The boy lives with his grandfather who runs a printing press. The lead actor Shadid as Sunny is a greedy man who wants to become rich and richer.

The character finds a wicked technique of earning by printing fake notes and eventually turns into a more wicked business.  With a mere urge, It becomes an obsession. The show brings out another character who is an elder player in the money-making game. Vijay Sethupaty as Michael, a Task Officer, and Raashi Khanna (as Megha), an RBI employee who wants to clear the mess that is involved in the fake money-making business.

The series is a roller coaster ride of some amazing plots of drama, action, and some outstanding thrillers. It was Vijay Sethupathi who had given life to the show. The cop who goes to the extreme, to catch the criminal is an amazing part of the not-so-basic cat-and-mouse game and is worth watching.

The makers have already raised the bar high with their previous blockbuster “The Family Man”, but the question is, whether ‘Farzi’ stands at its height. Not really.

In a few of the episodes, the storyline turns boring and cranky, but it somehow settles down the ‘Not so interesting’ parts with its following episodes. However, there’s so much more you guys need to know by watching the series. All in all, it is an Indian ‘Breaking Bad’ with some Indian twists.
