फुकरे रिटर्न्स (2017)

Fukrey Returns is a film co-written and directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. I watched the previous part of this film some months back and I was a fan. So I was eagerly waiting for the sequel. And I was very well impressed.

Plot: One year after the events of Fukrey, Bholi Punjaban comes out of take to exact revenge on the 4 boys.

Story and direction: This film shows Delhi to its fullest. Some of the locations made me quite nostalgic that I was living in such a place. The story is also quite nice and entertaining. Hats off to Vipul (Vig) and Mrighdeep to give us such a satisfying sequel. They never diluted our beloved characters just because its a sequel. They kept the same naughtiness and innocence that makes the characters who they are. Also the jokes were spot on. I bursted into laughter each and every time a joke was cracked on screen. The jokes never felt forced or never the film went slapstick. But this film had a few issues. The film after the first hour gets a little slow for some 20 minutes which bored me a lot. I felt that except for Bholi, none of the female characters were given that much importance. Then the villain of the film didn't seem very convincing. Also, I just cringed on how fake the tiger and the cub were. If you can't produce good VFX, then why waste money.

Performances: Each of the characters feel so correctly portrayed, that I can't fault even one the main performances. Pulkit Samrat once again nailed the persona of a Dilli ka chokra. Varun Shrama was born to play Choocha (again my favorite character of the film) and he portrayed it honestly. Manjot Singh was the most adorable Sardar ever in any film. Ali Fazal was also good. Pankaj Tripathi is a gem and it is a treat to watch him. No one could ever portray the role of Bholi Punjaban so perfectly as Richa Chaddha. The other girls (Priya Anand and Vishakha Singh) roles were minimal but good. Rajiv Gupta's character needed something to connect me with,

Music: As with the on-going trend now-a-days, multiple music directors have rendered songs to this venture. None of them could match the magic Ram Sampath put into the prequel (Thank God, he was credited). The background score incorporated sounds form the prequel which made it sound nothing new to me.

Favorite Scene: It would be the one where Laali and Hunny take Choocha to a hospital because Choocha suffers from a snake-bite. The aura of the scene and also Varun Sharma's phenomenal acting made it for me the scene of the film.

Verdict: As with many people, who have seen the prequel, I would say that the first part was better than the second. But still, I will not shy away by saying that I had a wonderful time watching this film. It was an entertaining venture. If you do plan to see this film, please do watch part 1.

I am going with a 7.5/10.

This movie is nothing compared to the first one. There is a thin line to cross for a concept to go from believable to ridiculous and this movie crosses the line too many times. The whole plot line was not convincing enough. It is really funny at many places and the whole credit for that goes to Varun Sharma a.k.a choocha. I was glad that Panditji was given more screen time because Pankaj Tripathi was the only other good comedy act in the movie. I really missed smakiya (kaai lag ri hai noto pe) and his replacement did not live up to the expectations, seemed like he was trying too hard.

Just like its predecessor, Fukrey Returns has set the bar one step higher with its power-packed comedy. Varun Sharma a.k.a. Choocha is the center of all the jokes and his dialogues never go unnoticed; not to forget the extra-ordinary acting skills portrayed by Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh and Ali Fazal as Hunny, Lali and Zafar respectively. Mrigdeep has also not forgotten to continue the romantic factor of the film with the hilarious love story of Choocha and Bholi.
Speaking of the story, Mrigdeep has managed to keep it engrossing with a little twist towards the end. The story is neither very fast paced nor very slow; it continues to flow with the right speed, timing the jokes and twists in between.
Overall, the movie will keep you entwined and wanting for more and you will never feel bored in any part of the story. And even if you do, Choocha is always there for the rescue.

It's for the directors that if you know that people adored the first part this movie then you should have worked hard to make it better than the previous one. It didn't met my expectations. but as for now like there is no other movie so you can go and watch it. Movie becomes slow in the middle, and for the character choocha(varun sharma) could have been more better just because of the reason he is such a good actor. A time pass slow and lame jokes much of a time in the movie with a happy ending.
