    Choocha will tickle your funny bones - Go for it !!

    Fukrey was a fresh concept with likable story, beautiful music and excellent performance by the new comers especially Varun Sharma. Will Fukrey Returns do justice to the cult classic ?

    Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chaddha) is entangled in prison and desperately wants to come out. The only way out to adhere to the promise made to a local minister which again involves the four Fukreys.

    Set in the lively city of Delhi , Fukrey Returns is fun to watch. The story does not have much to boast about and screenplay is timid but yet it is the execution of the plot filled with hilarious moments which makes it watchable. Mrigdeep Singh Lamba does a fairly good job in retaining the characters and sequence from the first part. Fukrey Returns will keep you entertained with comic scenes and is sure to bring down the house. The scene where a diver saves live of Choocha by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is probably the best scene from the film and you will roll down the floor laughing. The scene at the dinner table with a local minister is again enjoyable. The frequent usage of English language by Pankaj Tripathi is fun to watch.

    Of course, the sequel disappoints with few blemishes and loose screenplay. Music is a let down. Cinematoraphy is amazing capturing the locales of Delhi. Background score is good. Out of 4 protagonist , Pulkeet Samrat and and Varun Sharma stands out with superb chemistry. Both of them should be applauded for fine comic-timings. Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi do lend in good support.

    Fukrey Returns is a Laughton which will be remembered for its utmost hilarious moments. Go for it 3/5

    A little too long, but still retains the charm

    Here's my short review of the movie -

    Acting - Varun Sharma as Choocha is the highlight of the movie (as expected). However, the real highlight is Pankaj Tripathi as Panditji with his English one-liners and his interactions with Choocha. If Fukrey 3 is made, I wouldn't mind if these two were the only main characters. Rest of the cast gives a good performance, they feel like real people stuck in a bizarre situation again.

    Songs - OK. The first movie's theme song is used again. The songs are mostly used in the background, which is fine, not chart busters for me.

    Cinematography - Delhi is shot very well and its many sides are explored. No complaints there.

    Story and direction - The most important parts of a movie. A story can be good, but in the hands of a bad director, it can suck. Thankfully this one doesn't. Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and writer Vipul Vig have done a brilliant job. However, the movie does drag in the second half somewhat as I felt it could've been half an hour shorter. Fukrey Returns somewhat falls into the sequel trap where it tries to tell too many stories at once, I felt the first movie was still a better story because it was simple. However, it still manages to be entertaining because of the actors and writing.

    TLDR; version - Choocha and (now) Panditji are awesome, rest of the cast gives a good performance, the story is good for the most part but could have been half an hour shorter, the songs are good, but not as good as the first one. 7/10

    Great comedy for one time watch. Choocha is killing it.

    I can say you will not be disappointed after watching this movie. It's a good one time watch. Varun Sharma aced his performance and man Richa Chadda is hot. Overall it's a good watch. There are some good comedy dialogues in this movie, you can relate a lot with Choocha's character. The story was not that good but all the comedy sure made it look good. Other casts were also good.

    A jam-packed movie. Well,

    This is great for a one-time watch. The movie has retained some of the essence from the first installment including the background music score and the whole main cast intact. But what happened to the college entrance? Now they are just back in trouble of earning some good amount to do what?

    Look, I'm a bit of a technical person and I'm probably not gonna dive into plotholes cus I mostly don't care them as I just miss them. Speaking of the music score, I love the way how the original background score made a comeback in here with some more songs which were good, except the ones with those big'ol dance moves. (I just hate those dance-songs because they are just distracting and I feel that each one's meaning is going to be a cliché. Our sinhala films are somehow the culprit for making me hate so.)

    I am not clear whether this is a BGM or a song, but that "song" played at the chase scene, which goes somewhat like "Run" by AWOLNation (Even some vocals did say "RUN!" in Hindi - "BHAAG!") was the peak!

    Is it me or did this get a bit surreal to be using animations? Anyhow, if that snake, and the tigress and cub at the zoo weren't specially trained real animals, they are way better than any work of animations I've seen in hindi movies. (If you are curious about how far animations can go awful in Hindi Films, then watch PM Narendra Modi (2022).)

    However I felt that the flashlights/torches were acting up a bit. Everytime a torch beam hits the camera, the camera sensor or something weird at the post-production desk starts suffering from tinnitus at various frequencies. That ringing sound is better to be heard just a very few times cuz everyone's flashlights are not supposed to have some PWM Brightness control to excite our eyes like microphones.

    When they found the tigress who managed to spawn from deep beneath the cave, those torchlights shone at its direction were bouncing like crazy as if each circle of light created by each torch were nothing but some random-motion screensaver thing.

    And I'm just curious how Discharge lamps could appear in an ancient looking cave/tunnel network that our team just managed to reach by digging the ground down. That's not about the low-pressure sodium lamps at the end of it that looks like a sewer, but the greenish light at the middle of this maze-looking section.

    Well, this all is just about some very brief spots of a great screenplay! And I beg you pardon for bothering about small things without thinking of the big picture like you guys.

    To sum the things, Furkey Returns is more likely a different approach of bringing up those characters involved. The first movie from 2013 is just decent, down-to-earth and according to some others' words, experimental. Moreover, it has its own spirit that is way stronger than this one has.

    Cheers!

    • Quotes

      Pandit: [Concealing his rage watching Varun Sharma sleeping whilst the rest are digging a tunnel in the park] Choocha Ji, don't know if we'd ever get the chance again. So, a question was running through my mind. Thought I should clarify: How did YOU arrive in this world, I mean how were you born ? Must be some reason behind it perhaps.

      Choocha: [In his signature stupid tone] Pandit Ji, even I once asked Papaji the same thing. So he narrated me a story.

      Pandit: [Comically freighted, knowing Sharma's stories are absurd] Even your father's fond of telling "stories" ?

      Choocha: [Responding to Pankaj Tripathi in continued foolishness] Exactly Panditji, he's inherited MY genes afterall. Ok here it goes: Once, Papaji was going through a dark, dense forest. On the way, he saw an evil witch on whose lap was myself, the cutest of all Choocha. When Papaji approached that witch and called out "Hey evil witch, hand over that cute Choocha to me", the witch replied that "if you want this cute Choocha, you'll have to marry me first"..

      Bholi Punjaban: [Interrupting Varun Sharma] Hey, what nonsense are you telling ?

      Choocha: [Thinking Richa Chaddha indeed thinks of him as her boyfriend] Look Bholi, don't interrupt my stories ok. You know I don't like it.

      [Returning to Pankaj Tripathi]

      Choocha: Yes Panditji where was I ?

      Pandit: [Having given up all hope of reality from Varun Sharma] That witch demanded your Papaji to marry her.

      Choocha: Yeah. So that witch demanded that if he wanted me, he'd have to marry her. For a while Papaji thought quite deeply, but for my sake he ended up marrying that witch. But one thing isn't clear yet.

      Pandit: [Scared further] What's that ?

      Choocha: Whenever I ask Papaji who was that witch anyway, why does Mummy Ji beat me with a broomstick ?

      Pandit: [In a deadpan voice] I've to meet your Papaji someday.

      Choocha: Would be tough. He doesn't talk to suspicious people.
