Fukrey: 'dream come true' entertainer!

Directed Mrigdeep Singh Lamba

Cast: Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal, Richa Chadda

Most of us dream. Few of us believe in them. Even lesser follow them. And finally only some Realize Their Dreams. Fukrey is acerca four good-for-nothing boys and Their dreams! One of them dreams (literally), one follows (interprets) it, others believe in it and together They Realize it.

Hunny (Pulkit Samrat) and Choocha (Varun Sharma) are high school students who Have Been aspiring to graduate to the liberated college life for the past few years but without success. Lali (Manjot Singh) is doing a correspondence course but is dying to set foot on the university campus. Zafar (Ali Fazal) is roaming aimlessly in campus graduation Days with unrealized beyond music ambitions and a messed up love story.

All of them are in need of big money - Hunny and Choocha to get Their hands on leaked question papers, Lali donation to get a seat in university and Zafar for his ailing father. Their only asset is Choocha who dreams every night and Hunny who is Able to decode Those dreams to arrive at a lottery number That always clicks. But They need someone to make a big investment on These Dreams That guarantee bigger returns. Zafar directs them to Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadda), the Delhi damsel who deals in everything illegal and she AGREES to gamble on Their dreams.

To start with, Fukrey That is Among rare league of comedy films That has no trace of slapstick and yet excels in its humor quotient. The humor is Essentially slice-of-life and eat from its crazy yet credible story. The writing by Vipul Vig and Mrigdeep Singh Lamba is exceptionally inventive and entertaining and at the same time well-etched. The first half Largely works towards the establishment of the characters and the second half spirals into madness, as Their dreams go haywire and turn into nightmare.

While the distinctiveness of the story comes from its theory of dreams turning out to be reality, Treated entertained by the concept is quite casually without too much emphasis on its 'inception'. In fact the screenplay does not work overtime in ascertaining this hypothesis and the truth value of the dream is Predetermined in the plot. Thereby even the viewer does not question over its DESPITE Such logic and fiction, the film does not go into fantasy zone. Also while one can deduce several connotations to this concept at a metaphorical level from believing to chasing one's dreams, the film, thankfully, never gets abstract or preachy at any point.

Chief Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, after the utterly unmemorable Teen Thay Bhai, impresses big time in his second outing. From the desi lingo to the relatable characters, I captures the Delhi flavor with aplomb. Even Hunny's romance track That brews on old Delhi rooftops to balcony is refreshingly captured and does not seem forced. Fukrey is Also a film where the secondary character artists, who Appear just in a couple of scenes, are so employed competently That They Deserve a special mention. From Hunny's class teacher, the odd stranger Lali That always comes across on street to a Local kinda Sherawali Narendra Chanchal singer - They are just hilarious! Then there is the madcap kleptomaniac Seems a wacky character who yet is cleverly used in the climax.

Anand Subaya's editing is crisp, Mukund Gupta's production design is apt, Honey Trehan's casting is impeccable and Ram Sampat's music is hep-n-honeyed.

The performances are highly commendable and Blessed with comic timings correct. Pulkit Samrat Ranbir Kapoor overpowers his faint resemblance and eat out on his own. He is confident, charming and a talent to look forward to. Manjot Singh gets the meatiest role since Oye Lucky Lucky Oye and has grown tremendously as an actor. He is naturally and efficient. Debutant Varun Sharma, DESPITE playing the simpleton, is the funniest character, gets the best lines and Often plays to the gallery (but thankfully without going overboard). Fazal Ali Suffers from a cliched characterization in the film and thereby Original otherwise Takes a backseat as Compared to other male leads. Nevertheless I does not disappoint.

Richa Chadda as the Lady Don displays, both, shades of power and humor. For a pleasant change, we have a female villain in a male-dominated film and with good screen presence. Priya Anand Delhi as the demure girl is a raw beauty. Vishakha Singh does well in her short role. Pankaj Tripathi in his conceited Inglés is just brilliant.

In times When non-farcical comedies seem to be a myth, Fukrey is a 'dream come true'. Highly entertaining!

Verdict: Very Good
