Introduction: Dreams, Dilli, and Total Dhamaka
Fukrey, directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, is one of those rare comedy gems that embraces pure desi absurdity and runs wild with it. Like Bol Bachchan, it doesn’t rely on logic or deep storytelling—it relies on timing, chemistry, and total comic chaos. What makes Fukrey special is how relatable, unpredictable, and downright funny it is.
Plot Summary (No Spoilers)
Set in the heart of Delhi, the film follows four young slackers—Hunny (Pulkit Samrat), Choocha (Varun Sharma), Lali (Manjot Singh), and Zafar (Ali Fazal)—who have no direction in life but have plenty of get-rich-quick dreams. When Choocha’s weird dreams turn into a money-making lottery formula, the gang ropes in local don Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha) to invest in their scheme.
What could possibly go wrong? Spoiler alert: everything.
What Works
Varun Sharma as Choocha
Choocha is the heartbeat of this film. His nonsensical dreams and innocent stupidity make him an instant cult character.
Richa Chadha as Bholi Punjaban
A powerful, no-nonsense female gangster who adds spice, danger, and plenty of laughs to the story.
Relatable Friendships
The chemistry between the four leads feels real. You’ve met these guys in real life—or maybe you are one of them.
Delhi as a Character
From tuition centres to shady alleys, the film captures the spirit of middle-class Delhi perfectly.
What Doesn’t Work
Slightly Stretched Second Half: Some jokes lose steam after the midway point.
Predictable Outcomes: It’s not shocking where the story goes, but the journey is still fun.
Silly Logic: Don’t expect realism. Expect madness.
Final Thoughts: Desi Hustle, Unlimited Jugaad
Fukrey is a celebration of Indian street-smart comedy. It doesn’t try to be perfect—it’s just effortlessly funny. Much like Bol Bachchan, the fun lies in misunderstandings, crazy plans, and characters who are totally over their heads.
If you like feel-good chaos with tons of local flavor, Fukrey is totally paisa vasool.
