The film ‘Fukrey’ brilliantly captures the absurdity of life, delivering more laughs, intelligence, and sharp execution than the acclaimed ‘Kai Po Che.’ Set against the backdrop of Delhi, the movie follows a group of friends navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The film’s strength lies in its inventive plot, distinct characterizations, and the actors’ ability to embody their roles seamlessly. From Pulkit Samrat to Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi, each actor shines, contributing to the larger narrative crafted by director Mrigdeep Lamba. The film humorously portrays middle-class stereotypes, from rooftop romances to the dreams of attending college. The cinematography of K. U. Mohanan beautifully captures Delhi, while the characters’ energy and personalities drive the film. The narrative focuses on characters such as Choocha, Hunny, and others who seek to get-rich-quick schemes. The film also presents a unique female gangster character, adding to its appeal. Despite its light-hearted tone, the film has poignant moments that reveal the emotional depth beneath the humor.
