Fukrey

Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's 'Fukrey' is amusing, funny & very entertaining. No, its not flawless, but in totality, this recent sleeper hit works big time!

'Fukrey' Synopsis: The paths of four dream-chasing college friends cross with an array of colorful characters, from a tough-talking Punjabi female don to a Jugaad Baaz college watchman. Mayhem ensues.

'Fukrey' is fun from the word GO. The central protagonists as well as the supporting characters, particularly, the villain, are diverse & interesting. The humor works, because the Screenplay Written by Vipul Vig & Lamba himself, is genuinely good. The first-hour is absorbing, while The Second-Hour progresses furiously. Lamba's Direction is rustic. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are perfect. Music by Ram Sampath, is fabulous.

Performance-Wise: Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal & Varun Sharma are excellent. They share a terrific on-screen chemistry & portray the twisted heroes with great energy. Richa Chadda is outstanding. She stands out as the menace. Priya Anand & Vishakha Singh are restrained. Pankaj Tripathi is marvelous, as always.

On the whole, 'Fukrey' is a Joyride!

My family wanted to go to the theatres this weekend and I had to go. They all went to watch the horrendously boring Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani, but I chose to watch this because of all the rave reviews. Let me tell you, the other reviews were correct!

I can't remember any scenes except for a few funny ones, nor do I know any of the actors in this. The plot was wack, and the songs were meh. But, the film was undoubtedly hilarious. There are funny lines, funny situations, and funny actions.

This film is exactly what you want to watch if you want incredible hilarity for 2 hours. You'll go home happy, and you're senses will be soothed. I'll give it an 8/10, worthy of watching in theatres and a few more times later, because it will be just as funny.

I saw the movie with High expectations after all the positive reviews and strong box office performance..but to be frank the movie is very loose in its story telling. The reasons that form the base aren't strong enough, also humor is forced at many places.

Negatives: 1) Forced Humor 2) Predictable twists at many places 3) Panditji and Zafar should had been used more in the plans. 4) Pulkit's Love story was totally confusing 5) Overacting and forced humor of Choocha

Positives: 1) Lali was a big plus with straight faced dialogues 2) Pulkit's acting and comedy 3) Druggist's stealing of bike parts and irrelevant response by the same office going man was most funny part. 4)Another sequence again featuring Lali, with Neetu and Zafar was also good

On the whole movie isn't that bad, the second half is better paced and takes the story forward after the dull and monotonous first half.

Its a good one time watch but bear with some irritations at the beginning.

This is awesome movie. Must watch movie. Best movie of the year till date. All the actors have made really great performance unlike so called star sons. Story line up is also new unlike typical Indian romantic stories. You won't feel bored during entire movie. Songs are OK but acting of all actors is mind blowing. They don't have big star cast but definitely better than big star cast movie. Movie has real Delhi locations, not funky sets. I would recommend to watch this movie. You will laugh a lot and every moment, you will think what happens next. People should realize that without big start cast also, a movie can be good.

FUKREY is a college comedy directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, starring Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Manoj Singh, Ali Fazal and Richa Chadda.

The film revolves around the lives of 4 guys; 3 of them are trying to get into college even though they never study, and the remaining one is trying to get money for his father. All of them are interested in Hunny and Choocha (Pulkit Samrat & Varun Sharma)'s idea. Whenever Choocha dreams, Hunny is able to break that dream down to a lottery number, which always ends up winning.

Fukrey is an extremely interesting film under the 'Excel Entertainment' banner. It has a simple premise about a simple idea that goes wrong and how four people try to earn money just in order to go to a college or to help out a person in need. The jokes aren't as mindless as you think; they are simple and funny as well as related to the movie at the same time.

The acting in this movie is quite good. All the cast did a fantastic job with whatever role they had.

The songs are quite decent as well. They can be heard by both generations; 'Fukrey' and 'Beda Paar' is more for the modern whereas 'Ambarsariya' has a more simple tone that can be enjoyed by any crowd.

In the end, Fukrey is a simple comedy. It isn't GREAT to a point of praise, but it does well enough to make you laugh out loud and exit the cinema saying, 'I had a great time.'

FUKREY- 8.5/10
