What BollyAI Thinks
Farzi premiered on 10 February 2023 and became the most-watched Hindi web series of the year with a reported 37.1 million viewers. The Raj and DK series pairs Shahid Kapoor's street-artist counterfeiter with Vijay Sethupathi's obsessive STF officer, setting up a cat-and-mouse that the directors animate with their trademark tonal fluency. Critical response split along a familiar fault line: sympathetic reviews from Film Companion and Indian outlets cited the assured screenplay and career-best Kapoor; Variety's international notice called it the first Raj and DK project that felt formulaic. The audience sided decisively with the domestic consensus. The eight-episode structure was debated, with Variety noting the plot could have been tighter, but the finale episode scored 9.0 on IMDb, suggesting the payoff landed for viewers who stayed.

The Room
“Farzi is the first of Raj and DK's projects to feel like a tired imitation rather than its own, vital thing.”
Variety“Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi make a pitch-perfect debut in this Raj and DK crime thriller.”
