IMHO, fukrey is far superior movie than delhi belly…it captures the nuances and the lingo of Delhi so well (OLLO is the only other movie which probably does better).ya the script losses pace in the second half but overall a must-watch …i would give at-least 3.5 stars “jiddi tui paati, uda na gulati”, feel sorry for people whose last name is gulati. What’s the point of writing a review for a movie and comparing it to other movie? Most of the people won’t get it since some really hillarious parts are in punjabi. Good direction, Great work by all the actors and Richa chadda did well in bholi punjaban role. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five. Similarly, Hunny’s romantic track with a simple girl from the neighborhood feels gratuitous at best.Ī tighter script and more screen time for the excellent Pankaj Tripathi, as enterprising campus security guard Panditji, might have helped turn this moderately entertaining film into a rollicking good caper. The solemn interludes with Zafar stick out like a sore thumb, and the anti-drug message in the end is just pat. Although many scenes work on the strength of sharp dialogue and spot-on performances, they don’t always fit cohesively in the film’s narrative thread. There are laughs to be had in the verbal sparring between Hunny and Choocha, and a running joke involving Lali being robbed each time he parks outside a gurdwara is sheer genius. Unlike the far superior Delhi Belly, the writing in Fukrey is never consistent. They’re interesting protagonists, but the makers invest too heavily in them and not enough in the story, taking almost an hour before introducing the film’s most delicious character, a tough-talking crime boss in high heels, Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadda), who bankrolls the boys’ harebrained plan to crack an underground lottery. Meanwhile, brooding musician Zafar (Ali Fazal) sports a guitar and a permanently sad face, with neither aspirations nor inspiration in sight. Lali (Manjot Singh) is fed up of working at his father’s eatery, desperate to “migrate” from his correspondence course to a campus. Hunny (Pulkit Samrat) and Choocha (Varun Sharma) badly want to get into college so they can ditch classes and ogle girls. Yet, while individual scenes inspire laughs, the film doesn’t quite fly because there are too many gags and not enough plot. That familiar premise gets a fresh coat of paint in Fukrey, with co-writer and director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba putting a new spin on some old clichés. But when things go wrong, as they inevitably do, they must pay the price for it. Cast: Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal, Richa Chadda, Pankaj Tripathiįour slackers in Delhi seeking fast cash make a deal with a ruthless don.
