Review of Fukrey

Fukrey (2013)
6/10
An Invalid Plot That Causes Laughter. ♦ 57%
11 July 2013
Fukrey has got its base trembling with a plot so naive, viewer discretion is recommended. Its screenplay is bit confusing for people who don't pay attention. Otherwise, it is a healthy Bollywood comedy film.

Cast performance is nothing to talk about but the actors have managed to create enough chemistry between themselves. Although love doesn't come center-stage, it amuses. The music is catchy, but the lilts could've been improvised. Same theme music is used all over the 130 minutes. Cinematography, I would say, is brilliant especially shots involving mirrors. Editing is quite good.

But, since the foundation itself is slimy, I rate it an AVERAGE 5.7/10. Mixing lucid dreams with reality doesn't really prove a point. The story in second half is much like Delhi Belly & other caper films where a gang try hard to please a big boss. It's a bit clichéd but the journey adopted by the Fukreys is enjoyable. They entertain and that is what matters.

Dialogs are funny & straight, songs are good and overall, a fine comedy without classic cinema potential. Had expected more from the team.

BOTTOM LINE: A sleeper hit that can be enjoyed once, with like-minded friends.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO
