Movie Review: Fukrey is a laugh riot

Bollywood's latest release Fukrey has opened to rave reviews from critics. Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, the film has a fresh, young cast, also including Richa Chadda of Gangs Of Wasseypur fame. All the film critics have tagged it a laugh riot and highly recommended the film.

The story of the film revolves around three young guys who seek overnight fame. The way they befriend the security guard of their college and later fall into trouble is a lighthearted humorous journey and a delight to watch.

Here is what critics have to say about the film.

Taran Adarsh (Bollywoodhungama) (Rating: 3.5)              
Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment has produced two films on friendship and camaraderie -- DIL CHAHTA HAI and ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA -- both leaving footprints in the sand of time. Additionally, films like 3 IDIOTS and KAI PO CHE! explored bromance and bonding amongst friends with utmost sensitivity. FUKREY, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, also falls in the same space, yet is different from the aforementioned movies. This one's a light-hearted, wacky fare that throws four youngsters in hazardous conditions, but, at heart, remains a fun and joyous ride.

Madhureeta Mukherjee (TOI) (Rating: 3.5)
This one's no campus-rumpus or high-school pump-ups - with designer gals, prom nights, tight jeans and fancy dreams. In fact, the four young protagonists stay pretty much out-of-class, out-of-money and out of ladki-luck too. Introducing the faltu foursome. Hunny (Pulkit) is the one blessed with some grey matter (never mind that he failed the first grade, and twice after). Choocha (Varun), is blessed with sona and sapna (these aren't his women). He sees weird dreams that only buddy Hunny can decode, so they crack a lottery number and win a jackpot (sone pe suhaga!).
Lali (Manjot) comes with a big-heart `and a riotous sardar-sense-of-humour. The boys have a simple dream - to get a backdoor entry into one of the coolest colleges (with the hottest chicks) in Delhi. The fourth, Zafar (Ali) is an aspiring musician, with nothing but a G-string (read: guitar) and three loser boys for hope. Enter, the boisterous Bholi Punjaban (Richa) with nothing holy or bholi about her, really. She pimps, sells drugs and spews gaalis (maa, behen et al) galore. Bholi invests in the 'smart sapna scheme', but all goes kaput and the boys wake up to insanity and reality.

Two good-for-nothing school-goers. One ‘artist’ with a flair for music. One simpleton whose sole aim in life is to get himself a seat in a good college so that this jilted lover can ease his heart. When destiny intertwines the paths of four of these ‘fukras’, resulting in an inextricable mess, one must come to the other’s aid. The madcap ride that ensues is termed ‘Fukrey’.
