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!
