Fukrey 3 Movie Review: Considering the hype due to the successful two films in the Fukrey franchise, Fukrey 3 turns out to be a fun and wild ride with Varun Sharma aka Chucha as the heart and soul of the film. Starring Pulkit Sharma, Richa Chadha, Pankaj Tripathi, Manjot Singh, and Varun Sharma in lead roles, the film begins with an entertaining recap of what has happened in the last two films that were released over a decade. Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba made sure not to deflect from the true spirit of Fukrey and stuck to highlighting the twisted, crazy, and funny sides of the Fukras in the most amusing ways.

Even though sequels are a gamble especially when it is a sequel to a sequel; Fukrey 3 proves that this franchise is here to stay. Bringing back the pure bromance of Hunny and Chucha to the love-hate relationship of Bholi Punjaban and the Fukra gang, the film has superhit written all over it. Other than cheeky one-liners, Fukrey 3 also has a strong message which is delivered without preaching but graphically showing the horrifying reality of what may happen in the future. It deals with serious topics like water theft and water smuggling in Delhi but do not be misled that the film will teach a lesson.

Fukrey 3 Movie Review

Pulkit Samrat aka Hunny Gulati, Varun Sharma aka Chucha, Manjot Singh aka Lali Halwai, and Pankaj Tripathi aka Panditji yet again find themselves at crossroads with Richa Chadha aka Bholi Punjaban on the opposite end. She has now turned into a politician and aspires to be the Minister of Water Resources. Fed up of being used by Bholi Punjaban for her selfish means, the Fukras decide to compete against her with Chucha as their candidate. However, Chucha's god gift and their zeal to earn more money only lead them to utter chaos. As they find ways to safeguard themselves, the complications only pile up. From moving over 'deja chu' and realising their new gift to delivering a social message layered with witticism, Fukrey 3 packs a solid punch.

Vipul Vig and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba deserve all the applause for the writing and dialogues. Working around what left the audience spellbound in Fukrey and Fukrey Returns, the writer-director duo played with a new concept in the original mold, creating a recipe for a Blockbuster film. The storyline gradually brings in elements that perfectly blend clever, witty lines, and comic instances with the super-talented cast performances. The background score by Abhishek Nailwal also syncs with the LOL moments, making it more fun.

The original star cast is back other than Ali Fazal who only makes a 10-second cameo appearance as Zafar. This cast makes the film what it is. Pankaj Tripathi is flawless like always and holds the film with his wisecrack one-liners and intelligence. He is a treat to watch onscreen. Pulkit Samrat with his six-pack abs delivers another convincing performance while Manjot Singh continues to grab attention with his innocence and simplicity. You cannot help but sympathise with him for putting up with Chucha. Nonetheless, you cannot blame Chucha for being his twisted, wacky self. His buffoonery is what sails the boat in Fukrey 3.

What Does Not Work For Fukrey 3?

While the film has its comic elements intact with hilarious punch lines, the good jokes appear to have exhausted after a point. The first half has many witty dialogues but the second half is more about the social message which looks dragged at times. Evidently, 2 hours and 30 minutes is too long a time period for a comedy film.

Richa Chadha loses her Bholi Punjaban spark in Fukrey 3. She could have been more ruthless, wild and shrewd like in the first movie which appears to be missing here. Rather than the villain, she becomes the one used and manipulated just like the Fukras. In place of her, Amit Dhawan as Dhingra takes over the role of the ultimate villain.

Fukrey 3 Review Final Verdict

Varun Sharma, Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh and Pankaj Tripathi's Fukra gang tickles the funnybones once again with their hilarious desi jugads and solid punches. Chucha owns Fukrey 3 just like his outlandish powers and manages to be both adorable and annoying. The film has ample reasons to be called a superhit entertainer with standout writing. Director Mrighdeep Singh definitely manages to hit the ball out of the park and score a hattrick.
