Pankaj Kapur's [Pedro] delicious lecherousness is the big highlight of FINDING FANNY. He is a magician of an actor. You don't want to miss anything he says or does. He has some of the best lines in the film. When he addresses Ferdie [Naseeruddin Shah] as 'Casanova of Konkan', and the manner in which he says it, one bursts out laughing. He shamelessly woos Rosie [Dimple Kapadia] making no bones about the reason for his 'interest' in her. Dimple looks stunning for her age (though the much hyped prosthetic bum doesn't add any visual value, it rather hinders her movement to an extent). She brings the house down at several occasions with her straight faced rejoinders or one-liners. The scene where Pedro makes a portrait of Rosie is a laugh-riot. Pankaj Kapur, take a bow sir!
Deepika Padukone [Angie] looks exceedingly pretty and effortlessly merges with the brilliant trio of Naseer, Pankaj and Dimple. It's criminal to imagine her as a widow. After the much publicized ping-pong with the Censor Board, the 'virgin' element doesn't make sense when Angie tells Savio [Arjun Kapoor] post making love, that "there'll be many more times and he could get better ..." For someone who has never 'experienced' sex before, to tell the man that he could get 'better', sounds presumptuous. Arjun displays his angst-and-anger. Naseeruddin Shah as Ferdie, like a chameleon, turns a different colour. His unsure composure, incorrigible romanticism and the propensity to exaggerate his own affliction is captivating.
