Our movie revolves around four male leads. Hunny & Choocha(some people will know what 'choocha' means in the "Other" sense are the ones who drive the basic plot of this flick. Choocha is our dreamer, & Hunny is the decoder of the very dreams Choocha has on daily basis. What do they do of those dreams? They come out with a numbers & names of the local lottery tickets. Yes, its bit unrealistic, but apart from this every bit of the movie falls in place. Moving ahead we're introduced with two of our other leads, Zafar(a struggling) musician with a strained love relation & Lali(Played by Manjot Singh, one of my favorite actors now a days) who's trying to get admission in his girlfriends college. There's one common problem that troubles all of them, Money. The four of them try and make it big for themselves & invest in Hunny-Choocha Dream & win plan, with the help of a lady don, Bholi Punjaban played brilliantly by our beloved Mother from Gangs Of Wasseypur (Richa Chadda), who provides them with initial investment for the scheme while keeping something valuable from them as a guarantee. The four of them find themselves in deep deep Sh*t, when their plan goes wrong thanks to Choocha(Anything more about it will spoil it for you). Things go Haywire at payback time. With police & gundas on their tail, we find ourselves engaged with the lead cast and the movie works well because we start caring about them. A few sub plots though unnecessary, provide a little warmth to the movie, like the one of Hunny's love affair. Talking about the Pros of the movie its the acting skills displayed by the whole cast. Manjot Singh as usual is awesome, Pulkit Samrat is charming & doesn't overdo his character(He's not knew to acting with a TV soap & a Hindi feature film already to his name), Zafar played by Ali Fazal is done with mediocrity(for those who are wondering where they have seen this fellow before, he's the suicidal boy in 3 Idiots. Richa Chadda has time & always proved her credibility as an actress, and does a fair job. But most of the people going to see this movie or already seen the movie will give a special mention to Varun Sharma, who drives the movies funny quotient all along and does it brilliantly. The film's special mention goes to a intellectual beggar(don't know his name), who's time and again keeps popping up & ends on a high note. Overall this movie brings fresh air, almost like Kai Po Che a few months back, and packs wholesome 2.5 hrs of entertainment. The editing need to be more sophisticated with a few unnecessary scenes in between, like the Mata Jagrata scene in the end to be on of the few. Its a Must Watch from my side.

Fukrey in Hindi which literally means cheap. The film portrays the struggle of 4 guys trying to take shortcuts to reach their goals. The wired guy played by Varun Sharma as Choocha the dreamer, the confident Pulkit Samrat as Hunny the school students and Lali the sweet guy played the son of Bali Halwali doing correspondence in Delhi followed by Ali Fazal as Zafar graduate and a budding musician who devoured his life to music who is still struggling to make a foot.

Fukrey is a hilarious satire a small slice of our Indian education system on reel when students migrate from school to colleges and the anxiety of public exams to score goods marks to get into desired college. This is a period when students crave and count days to start their new college life. These anxiety leads Hunny and Choocha the lottery buying easy money seekers who get into trouble with Bholi Punjaban played by Richa Chadda the money lender and also a dangerous criminal which drives them to do illegal businesses.

Neetu, Zafar's ex-fiancé played by Vishakha Singh with whom Zafar is in still love with leaves her when she confronts to Zafar to choose her or music but he chooses music. This sets the underline theme of conflict shortcut VS struggle.

But only fact that has to be noted which strikes me is that they never show any back story of Hunny like his family or other friends expect Choocha as his best friend and Priya played by Priya Anand as love interest.

Pankaj Tripathi as the corrupt security guard and the man walking on the street with a hearing problem whom Lali inquires when the beggar takes away his motorbike parts or cylinder adds humor to the story which did make the audience laugh their hearts out loud.

Ambarsariya and Raba are refreshing songs.

If you can't stand a movie full of illogical stuff - don't watch this. This one is full of illogical stuff and fun. Pulkit Samrat (as Hunny) decodes Varun Sharma's (Choocha) dreams and mysteriously churns out a lucky number that is used to buy lottery tickets and - mysteriously again - they click. And this is what gets them and two more of their friends Ali Fazal (as Zafar) and Manjot Singh (as Lali) into big trouble - when Choocha makes up a dream that he has not really seen - and a lot of money is at stake. The movie is full of funny anecdotes here and there. Hunny and Choocha is great in the first part. Richa Chadda (as Bholi Punjaban) has stolen the part after the interval, however. Priya Anand's (as Priya) silent expressions are worth mentioning. Watching this movie is a better experience than many comedies featuring mainstream Bollywood stars - that is, if you consider those Akshay and Salman starrers as comedies.

This movie is fun and entertaining even though the plot is simple which goes like getting into trouble first and then getting out of it at the end of movie like many other movies.The acting performances are really good especially Richa Chadda,Varun Sharma.You should definitely watch this to kill time since it doesn't bore you and keeps you engaged throughout the course of the movie.

The caption doesn't refers to Zafar, but just as an expression of appreciation.

If Bholi Punjaban (and of course the producers with sensibility) can buy the dream idea so why can't we? And oh boys! Is it credible! Would have been more if a flashback showed how it hit Hunny to interpret Choocha's subconscious state into lottery and moolah.

I agree with Pulkit that those allergic to laughter shouldn't watch this, or rather who don't have a (non-linear) sense of humor should believe the reviews pulling it down, and stay away.

Good performances by Fukrey. Controlled direction. Catchy music especially my favorite 'Rabba', breezy tempo with right timing - this wacky comedy keeps one smiling, chuckling and lol! Though Varun Sharma now has Choocha stamped on him with approval (by many), on the other hand Manjot Singh did an expressive job! The look in his eyes complementing various situations and while interacting with others makes him totally natural! The scene where he and Zafar are followed by the police to Neetu's house is straight faced (but) hilarious! So much so that Ali Fazal chewing his lips and acting embarrassed (though he succeeds) reflected he was trying his best not to erupt into laughter.

Richa Chadda though quite, quite fairly good should have been 'Sinderella' (the tattoo on her nape) instead of 'Bholi' (reminiscent of Neha Dhupia's Munni in 'Phas gey ray Obama'), which was clichéd considering many characters in the past happened to be the opposite to their innocent sounding names. She should have worked on her dialogue delivery which echoed Parineeti Chopra's Zoya (Ishaqzaade). And the writer on her dialogues as most lines were not even half funny, but written with the (monotonous) thought that that is how a foul mouthed woman should behave and speak.

The girls did a fine job, but whoever cast them overlooked that they seemed quite similar, and the boys prettier than them!

Not to forget the (Richie rich) hobo. Some character!

I am looking forward to a sequel (with Hunny and Choocha's families), and hope it would be funnier and crazier than this warm up! (Bholi back on her turf and after Fukrey for framing her, and more!)

I found Fukrey to a decent comedy movie from Bollywood after a long time. For a change it did not have the cheap and double meaning jokes that Bollywood crap is so prone to these days.

While the script was not that strong the movie had a good tempo all along and was fun to watch. Given that few Bollywood movies have any script this one was a lot better.

Most of the cast, specially Choche have done a fairly good job. Some of the stuff was mindless but that was the intent as well. The director did not try to pretend that it was something else.

The theme is about some kids wanting to get into college by any means and how they land into trouble and then get out of it. It was fun to watch it. One of the better stuff from Bollywood in quite a while.

A comedy based in Dehli and has the Delhi and Punjabi charm. A story about four teenagers in need of money and how they get entangled in a big mess. Film has its LOL moments and story, screenplay, dialouges are great but film is a bit lengthy. Acting wise Pulkit, Manjot, Richa, and Pankaj Triphati excel give great performances. Ali is just okay. But Varun Sharma standouts, he is just hilarious every time he comes on screen. Dir Mirghdeep Singh does a first rate job, and after Teen Thay Bhai he doesn't disappoint he actually does even better with fukrey. Overall a fukrey comedy that should be enjoyed by all the Indian youth who can relate to the movie.
