FUKREY: very DILLI at heart! not to be missed!!

Dilli, not the elite Delhi mind you, has become quite a hot favorite these days for most of the filmmakers to set their films up, not only to explore the quirkiness in the lingo and the defiance of its overly flamboyant characters but also as an integral intimate essence to the story-line.  You can take out a Delhiite from Delhi but you can never the Delhi from a Delhiite...that's the attitude that holds you and keeps you glued to your seats throughout (though allegedly this statement is incorrect since it being a laugh riot experience, you are bound to jump over it most of the time) while watching Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's FUKREY.

Vaguely termed for youth, charged with intrepid gusto to achieve their goals by any means aboveboard or overboard, ‘fukrey’ is probably the only word what could describe its characters. The way their body traffics towards girls passing by, the way they are vigorously ready to take on anyone including friends of lifetime even in their hardest times, the way they think whatever they do is the new cool thing, is very very enjoyable.

Spending your 134 mins with these 4 youngsters (BITTOO BOSS fame Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh of ‘OYE LUCKY LUCKY OYE’, Ali Jafar- the ‘sunshine’ guitarist in 3 IDIOTS and the hilariously funny first-timer Varun Sharma) are now at their own to come out of the problem they are trapped into because of shortcuts taken in life to earn some big loads of money, is like taking a short vacation for measurable amount of laughs and smiles. This roller coaster also has a couple of the most competent actors Bollywood hasn't paid much attention to till very late (the impeccably impressive Pankaj Tripathi as the 'can do everything' watchman of the college and the awesomely gifted Richa Chaddha as the local lady don) performing with sheer brilliance for equally well written characters.

Lamba has shown us previously some nice flares of good situational comedy in his overlooked debut '3 THAY BHAI' but this is definitely a far better- near perfect addition to his kitty. Vipul Vig is another star behind camera responsible for the story and madcap dialogues with wackiest one-liners. Make it a must in your ‘to do’ list for the weekend. Laughter is guaranteed so is an entertainment that brings out the youth in you. I haven't laughed and clapped so much, so for in 2013. Don't miss it even if you haven't been in Delhi before, all your life. Some scenes sure demand repeat watch! (3.5/5)
