Review of Fukrey

Release date –14'th June 2013

One Word which describes the film – Disappointing

Best  Dialogue – ' Bholi chidiya nai cheel hai, coffin mein aakhiri keel hai.'


Genre – Comedy

Story - Vipul Vig

Music – Ram Sampath

Producer - Farhan Akhtar , Ritesh Sidhwani

Direction Mrighdeep Singh Lamba


Budget -10 crores (approximately)


The film starts with two school back-benchers who barely manage to pass in class  but  dream of getting admission in  a famous college in town and date the girls there . The duo befriends Lali ,son of a halwai . The latter is a first year correspondence course student who also wants to enroll in the same college as his girlfriend studies there. Zafar is a  son of a butcher who has completed college but waits for his big break as a musician . To fulfill their dreams the four guys desperately need money and the need to make quick money brings them together.

Pulkit Samrat , last seen in Bittoo Boss is quite natural as the Delhi guy who is confident about his plans . He is paired opposite Priya Anand (last seen in Rangrezz) but their romantic angle is not given any importance in the film so Priya has nothing much to do. 

Manjot Singh as the simple guy whose main focus in life is to keep his girlfriend happy is adorable.  

Richa Chaddha , last seen in Gangs of Wasseypur is the best part of the film . Her character Bholi Panjaban  adds glamour and speed to an otherwise slow story . She is loud , shrewd with money , dresses smartly ,works out in a  a mirrored gym and relaxes with a glass of whiskey at night. She is the only paisa- wasool element in the film.  
Despite having good actors the film disappoints as it fails to combine the various events going on in the film into a spell binding story. 
In a line ,we expect a  certain standard from a  Farhan Akhtar's film  but  the plot of the film is so weak that it is reduced to a series of few humorous incidents . 
Time pass , Avoidable .
Rank - 20 (out of the 30 films I have seen in 2013)
