Plot

Rustom Deboo (Sharman Joshi), a middle-class widower, is a head clerk whose young son, Kayo (Ritvik Sahore), is obsessed with cricket. Kayo's school organises a cricket camp which would send students to the Lord's Cricket Ground in London, England and would provide Kayo with a chance to play with his idol, renowned cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. However, Rustom has insufficient money to pay for the fees. In a desperate attempt to play the role of a perfect father and fulfill his son's dream, the honest and upright Rustom performs his first act of dishonesty by stealing the gleaming red Ferrari owned by Sachin Tendulkar just for one hour. The only problem is that the naïve Rustom does not inform the legendary owner of the car, and must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night. A wild, breathless, bumpy ride begins, a ride that leads to a menagerie of amazing characters; a marriage planner who will stop at nothing, a Laurel-and-Hardyesque pair of loyal attendants, a greedy politician and his reckless son and a mechanic who specializes in stolen cars. As the Ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street thugs and collective marriages, another saga unfolds – a grumpy old man and his secret injuries, and an epic rivalry that goes back 38 years.

Cast

Production

Rajesh Mapuskar has worked as an associate director on films such as 3 Idiots (2009) and Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006); in fact the idea of the film came to him during the post-production work of Lage Raho Munna Bhai, when for an advertising assignment he went out looking for expensive cars in Mumbai, he found them all except a Ferrari. Eventually, he managed to track a Ferrari parked at Pali Hill. This gave him the idea, "What if I steal this car for a day? What will happen?", which developed into the idea of Sachin Tendulkar's Ferrari and the script was developed over the next seven and a half years along with Vidhu Vinod Chopra.[4]
