The film doesn't have an engaging plotline or a love-story to vouch for... a big disappointment for Kapil Sharma fans.

Firangi Movie Review: The Kapil Sharma Starrer is Downright Insipid
Kapil Sharma is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in Indian comedy circuit. From being a contestant on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge to becoming the owner of The Kapil Sharma Show, the ace comedian has only upped his game.
However, the star is yet to taste success in films. Kapil had first tried his hand at acting two years ago, but was unable to impress the audience. And now he is back with another big screen outing, Rajiv Dhingra's Firangi.
Set during the peak of the independence movement, the film is set in Punjab and tells the story of a man Manga who isn't bothered by the British atrocities. Also featuring Ishita Dutta, the film marks Kapil's second project after Abbas-Mustan’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.
Will this time Kapil be able to charm the audience with his acting skills? Let's find out.

Full marks to #RajievDhingra's efforts but unfortunately the film's plotline is downright insipid.

#KapilSharma might have the ability to make people laugh but the one thing he surely can’t do is prevent his poor attempts at films from criticism. #Firangi

With boring plot & unconvincing fictional pairing, #KapilSharma starrer #Firangi ends up appealing to absolutely no one.

Firangi: A sad sad comedy
It's a comedy that falls absolutely flat. #Firangi

Great actors can't save a doomed film.
Even great actor like Aanjjan Srivastav doesn't have much to offer in this film. #Firangi

And we're back! The second half looks a bit intense though the plot remains unconvincing #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
First half doesn't impress at all..
It's half time: Trust me you won't regret avoiding this one! #Firangi

Okay, so the film is an average watch till now, minus the love-story...
The story seems to be digestible if it doesn't focus on #KapilSharma and #IshitaDutta's love story. #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
At least something is believable...
The film's cinematography is able to create adequate believability unlike its characters. #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
Well, it seems the film has no vibes...
Trust me #KapilSharma should stick to comedy. His romance with co-star #IshitaDutta feels very forced #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
A senseless period-comedy?
Most of the people in the film are not even making sense. #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
A lame start is it?
Mera naam Mangat Ram hai par log pyaar se Manga bulaate hai... Shukar hai tera naam Nangat Ram nahi hai nahi toh log tujhe Nanga bulaate. Was that a joke? #Firangi
— Shrishti Negi (@shrishti_03) December 1, 2017
It begins with a 'heavy narration' indeed...
Well #AmitabhBachchan's impressive voice over opens the film #Firangi

Firangi Motion Poster: Kapil Sharma's Act Will Leave A Smile On Your Face
The film revolves around a story of a small-town boy (Kapil) and his love life with NRI girl, Monica Gill. Directed by Rajiev Dhingra, it also features Tanushree Dutta's younger sister Ishita.
Directed by Rajeev Dhingra the film is aimed at bringing the acting chops of the comedian in limelight, and his soft-spoken, subtle character dipped in the sades of sepia, is expected to impress his fanbase.
Firangi is unlike Kapil's debut film as the subtle, conversational humour takes a front seat instead of punchlines.
ICYMI: Here's the trailer of the film and the tone resembles the pre-independence era.
With his talent of healing people with a 'kick', Manga lands a job with British authorities only to displease his fellow villagers and even his lover. Then begins the journey of realisation and winning the love and respect back from his lady.
Set during the peak of the independence movement, the film is set in Punjab and tells the story of a man Manga who isn't bothered by the British atrocities and didn't care about the freedom struggle.
After a hilarious debut with Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karun, Kapil Sharma is back on big screen with Firangi.
