Fukrey 3

The third installment of the successful comedy franchise Fukrey struggles to retain the charm of Fukrey (2013) and Fukrey Returns (2017) and hasn't been able to live up to the expectations. Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's direction was average and he was not able to deliver a compelling slapstick comedy this time due to its thin plot and mediocre writing.

The first half of the film starts off well and it has some entertaining moments that give several occasions of laughter. But the second half becomes a victim of lazy writing and it is comparatively less on humour & the witty one-liners rarely land. Then the story goes off-track and tries to showcase a serious issue of water supply in Delhi and also it has a disappointing climax too. After a point, the screenplay won't be able to hold viewers and humour also gets repetitive.

Varun Sharma in his tailor-made role as Choochaa and Pankaj Tripathi as Pandit ji delivers an entertaining performance. Both the actors keep the audience engaged with their impeccable comic timing. Pulkit Samrat and Manjot Singh were decent in their roles. Richa Chadha shines again as Bholi Punjaban and gave a good performance. All other supporting actors were just fine in their respective roles.
