Fukrey Returns (2017)

Excellent but underrated film

Don't Believe the Hype

As Good As It Gets

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Fukrey Returns - A Review by Kalyug BriefsWhen a woman decides to get her work done...she can utilize even the most useless 'Fukreys' and come out with flying colors!This is what the film is all about! Bholi Punjaban is a lady Don who was previously a brothel Madam plus had several other criminal projects under her wing - distributing drugs to frustrated college students, providing sex workers to the frustrated slimy pigs of the nation etc. She was caught and sent behind the bars because of 4 young fools! That happened in part I.Part II - she gets released with the help of a corrupt politician who wants to become the Chief Minister! She was angry with the 4 young fools so she decides to make them work for her and collect the money that she had to pay to the corrupt minister - 10 crore in 10 days! They open up a 'Get rich quick' scheme and several people invest. Unfortunately they fail and people run after them like blood thirsty hounds. Later somehow the good politician helps them get the corrupt man behind the bars and they are all saved! Everything forgiven and forgotten!Some random scenes:2 zoo keepers steal beef meat that belonged to the tigress! Both were discussing whether beef was banned for the animals at the zoo! Shows that even if you are employed, you can still steal...even steal from animals! Humans are ready to eat the putrid meat kept aside for animals also!The 2 African stooges or body guards of Lady Don were doing Seva in langar - washing utensils and distributing prasaad to people at the langar...but as soon as their boss got released they went back to their old profession - stealing animals, stealing human organs etc! The lady Don had hired doctors and nurses to steal organs of people - eyes, kidney and export them!! All this to make money. At the end, it is shown that this lady was forgiven and she is travelling with the Chief Minister in his car!! Shows that thugs, smugglers...basically criminals involved in organ harvesting, drug dealing, sex worker providing - which of course will include girl child kidnapping etc...is all forgiven by the Government of India...because such are the smart opportunist people who are required to run the nation...a nation of fukreys!?And what about all the Seva done in the Langar? All went kaput? No change of mind and heart? No change of spirit or soul took place in spite of working and staying in a religious place for so long!? SO basically it is quite possible that people visit temples etc. for time pass or do some seva thinking it to be a kind of bribe for the Gods!! People judge Gods by their standards after all!

Loved movie...is seriously worth watch...your time and money!

Fukrey was a fresh concept with likable story, beautiful music and excellent performance by the new comers especially Varun Sharma. Will Fukrey Returns do justice to the cult classic ?Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chaddha) is entangled in prison and desperately wants to come out. The only way out to adhere to the promise made to a local minister which again involves the four Fukreys. Set in the lively city of Delhi , Fukrey Returns is fun to watch. The story does not have much to boast about and screenplay is timid but yet it is the execution of the plot filled with hilarious moments which makes it watchable. Mrigdeep Singh Lamba does a fairly good job in retaining the characters and sequence from the first part. Fukrey Returns will keep you entertained with comic scenes and is sure to bring down the house. The scene where a diver saves live of Choocha by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is probably the best scene from the film and you will roll down the floor laughing. The scene at the dinner table with a local minister is again enjoyable. The frequent usage of English language by Pankaj Tripathi is fun to watch.Of course, the sequel disappoints with few blemishes and loose screenplay. Music is a let down. Cinematoraphy is amazing capturing the locales of Delhi. Background score is good. Out of 4 protagonist , Pulkeet Samrat and and Varun Sharma stands out with superb chemistry. Both of them should be applauded for fine comic-timings. Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi do lend in good support.Fukrey Returns is a Laughton which will be remembered for its utmost hilarious moments. Go for it 3/5

First Bollywood movie i watched in theater after tamasha. Few years ago when fukrey was released, i didn't expect it to be that funny. It have this charm that no one can bring with planning. But this is disaster. Ram sampat's music was better. Farhan Akhtar produce it's first installment and this too, look like he didn't give much attention. Just like Golmaal:fun unlimited and Dhamaal, this will be remembered as a sequel ruined the fun.
