Plot
Fukrey
Returns
kickstarts
with
a
musical
recap
of
what
unfolded
in
the
predecessor
and
takes
us
a
year
later.
You
see
Choocha
indulging
in
some
weird
'naagin' dance
in
his
dreams with
Bhooli
Punjaban's
'kaali
naagin'
(Richa
Chadha).
On
the
other
side,
there's
Hunny
(Pulkit
Samrat)
who
wants
to
do
some
French
kissy-wissy
with
his
flame
Priya
(Priya
Anand).
Meanwhile,
Zafar
(Ali
Fazal)
is
planning
a
Goa
wedding
with
Neetu
(Vishakha
Singh)
and
Lali
(Manjot
Singh)
is
still unable
to
find
the
girl
of
his
dreams
and
finds
himself
getting ridiculed
by
his
father
for
being
good
for
nothing.
Amidst
all
this,
Bholi
Punjaban
makes
a
comeback
after
serving
a
jail
sentence.
It's
payback
time,
folks!
She
plots
a
revenge
by
making
the
infamous
four
commit
a
crime
but
has
troubles
of
her
own
in
the
shape
of
a
slimy
neta.
Alas,
the
plan
backfires
and
the
fukras
have most
of
the Dilliwaalas
chasing
them
in
every
nook
and
corner.
To
add
more
to
the
chaos,
Choocha
discovers
his
power
of
'deja
chu'
(premonition)
and
makes
some
startling
revelations
to
add
more
to
the
madness.
Direction
Fukrey
worked
majorly
because
of
its
simpicity
and
connect
with
the
audience.
Unfortunately
when
it comes
to
the
sequel,
its
the
poor
writing
which
disappoints
the
most.
The
screenplay
runs
loose
and
there
are
a
few
scenes
where
you
feel
the
loosening
grip
of
the
director.
The
film's
scorecard
sees
a
dip
which
it
comes
to
the
'haha
moments'.
Soon,
the
jokes
too
get
repetitive
and
the
narrative
starts
staggering
especially
in
the
second
half.
The
twists
and
turns
too
fail
to
work
its
charm.
Performances
Pulkit
Samrat
plays
it
off
well
as
the
uber
cool
guy.
On
the
flip
side,
Ali
Fazal
and
Manjot
Singh
suffer
from
underwritten
roles.
Nevertheless,
the
boys
put
in
best
of
their
efforts.
But
it's
Varun
Sharma
who
gets
a
major
chunk
to
sink
his
teeth
into
and
as
expected,
Fukrey
Returns
turns
out
to
be
his
show
all
the
way.
Further,
Pankaj
Tripathi
as
Panditji
is
an
icing
on
that
cake!
Give
this
man
the
blandest
of
lines
and
he's
bound
to
hit
it
straiout
of
the
park
for
a
six.
Richa
Chadha
puts
up
a
good
show
as
the
badass
Bholi
Punjaban.
Special
mention
for
Rajiv
Gupta
whose
portrayal
of
a
slimy
politician
is
as
real
as
it
gets.
We
are
clueless
about
what
Priya
Anand
and
Vishakha
Singh's
roles
were
supposed
to
be
in
this
sequel!
Technical
Aspects
Cinematographer
Andre
Menezes'
love
for
Delhi
is
palpable
in
a
lot
of
scenes
and
that
adds
more
depth
to
the
film.
The
editing
works
fine
barring
a
few
shots.
Music
The
butchered
version
of
'Oh
Meri
Mehbooba'
ends
up
more
like
a
earworm
irrepective
of
your
liking
or
not.
Tu
Mera
Bhai
Nahin
catches
your
attention
for
its
quirky
lyrics.
Peh
Gaya
Khalara
ends
up
as
just
another
Punjabi
number.
The
rest
of
the
songs
are
placed
situationally
which
works
in
favour.
Verdict
Fukrey
Returns
lacks
a
heavy
dose
of
'Fukrapanti'
and
some
consistent
writing
to
keep
you
hooked.
But,
it
has
the
lethal
combo
of
Varun
Sharma
and
Pankaj
Tripathi
to
leave
you
squealing
with
laughter...'Yeh
hai
paatake,
kare
dhaamake,
Dekhe
jo
bhi
mare
taaliya'!
