Fukrey Returns

Fukrey Returns - A Review by Kalyug Briefs

When a woman decides to get her work done...she can utilize even the most useless 'Fukreys' and come out with flying colors!

This is what the film is all about! Bholi Punjaban is a lady Don who was previously a brothel Madam plus had several other criminal projects under her wing - distributing drugs to frustrated college students, providing sex workers to the frustrated slimy pigs of the nation etc. She was caught and sent behind the bars because of 4 young fools! That happened in part I.

Part II - she gets released with the help of a corrupt politician who wants to become the Chief Minister! She was angry with the 4 young fools so she decides to make them work for her and collect the money that she had to pay to the corrupt minister - 10 crore in 10 days!

They open up a 'Get rich quick' scheme and several people invest. Unfortunately they fail and people run after them like blood thirsty hounds. Later somehow the good politician helps them get the corrupt man behind the bars and they are all saved! Everything forgiven and forgotten!

Some random scenes:

2 zoo keepers steal beef meat that belonged to the tigress! Both were discussing whether beef was banned for the animals at the zoo! Shows that even if you are employed, you can still steal...even steal from animals! Humans are ready to eat the putrid meat kept aside for animals also!

The 2 African stooges or body guards of Lady Don were doing Seva in langar - washing utensils and distributing prasaad to people at the langar...but as soon as their boss got released they went back to their old profession - stealing animals, stealing human organs etc! The lady Don had hired doctors and nurses to steal organs of people - eyes, kidney and export them!! All this to make money. At the end, it is shown that this lady was forgiven and she is travelling with the Chief Minister in his car!! Shows that thugs, smugglers...basically criminals involved in organ harvesting, drug dealing, sex worker providing - which of course will include girl child kidnapping etc...is all forgiven by the Government of India...because such are the smart opportunist people who are required to run the nation...a nation of fukreys!?

And what about all the Seva done in the Langar? All went kaput? No change of mind and heart? No change of spirit or soul took place in spite of working and staying in a religious place for so long!? SO basically it is quite possible that people visit temples etc. for time pass or do some seva thinking it to be a kind of bribe for the Gods!! People judge Gods by their standards after all!

Now the stroy continue the first part was so amazing and they came with another refreshing movie and with so many twist and comedy bholi is return and one more character is add and some animal with some desi comedy of choocha and his new gifts movie is so enjoying and entertaining the choocha is so awesome now this this whole city is going blast and some better twist for me it's not best but its better and one very refreshing movie for me and about negative this time i think stroy mens its ok but not well but due to its comedy i like the movie and the end is aslo happy and well said to be good.

Here's my short review of the movie -

Acting - Varun Sharma as Choocha is the highlight of the movie (as expected). However, the real highlight is Pankaj Tripathi as Panditji with his English one-liners and his interactions with Choocha. If Fukrey 3 is made, I wouldn't mind if these two were the only main characters. Rest of the cast gives a good performance, they feel like real people stuck in a bizarre situation again.

Songs - OK. The first movie's theme song is used again. The songs are mostly used in the background, which is fine, not chart busters for me.

Cinematography - Delhi is shot very well and its many sides are explored. No complaints there.

Story and direction - The most important parts of a movie. A story can be good, but in the hands of a bad director, it can suck. Thankfully this one doesn't. Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and writer Vipul Vig have done a brilliant job. However, the movie does drag in the second half somewhat as I felt it could've been half an hour shorter. Fukrey Returns somewhat falls into the sequel trap where it tries to tell too many stories at once, I felt the first movie was still a better story because it was simple. However, it still manages to be entertaining because of the actors and writing.

TLDR; version - Choocha and (now) Panditji are awesome, rest of the cast gives a good performance, the story is good for the most part but could have been half an hour shorter, the songs are good, but not as good as the first one. 7/10

I can say you will not be disappointed after watching this movie. It's a good one time watch. Varun Sharma aced his performance and man Richa Chadda is hot. Overall it's a good watch. There are some good comedy dialogues in this movie, you can relate a lot with Choocha's character. The story was not that good but all the comedy sure made it look good. Other casts were also good.

Film is mainly saved by writer Vipul Vig's dialogues and actors. Main plot of collecting money from public and betting on lottery, run by Politician is very vaguely executed. If you are not aware of its first part then very difficult to understand what is going on and why? Politician turns the table to boys team, like cake walk then why was all that drama to hatch the plot. Bholey Panjaban is established, hand to mouth in jail suddenly she starts playing with lots of money even after her plan was failed!? She even finds new way of recovering money from her defaulters by trading their organs, just to make her realize that Choocha can still predict future!! And for sake of interval!? Film is in bits and pieces. You just enjoy few chunks of scenes then again get bored by next chunk. Pre climax is the dullest. Tigress, cub, the tunnel which turns proper lit on ceiling!!, and all that stuffs are simply meaning less. It was assumed that a Tigress living in Zoo, has find out or dug out, some tunnel which no one was aware and when all drama goes in premises, every time Zoo was closed for renovation but no workers or anyone were around. Yes, dialogues keep you entertained throughout, with topping of fine performances by most of the actors. They are so much into character that without saying a word they make you laugh. Varun Sharma as Choocha is hilarious and best. Second comes, Pankaj Tripathi as Panditji. Surprisingly, He always finds scope for showcasing his acting even if it doesn't remain on paper. Richa Chadda is fine. Manjyot Singh as Lali is good. An actor, who helps to save the boys after jumping in Jamuna is out standing in his brief role. His expressions are damn perfect. Rest actors are OK.
