After tickling us silly with their funny antics and desi jugads in Fukrey and Fukrey Returns, the Fukra gang comprising Hunny (Pulkit Samrat), Chucha (Varun Sharma), Pandit ji (Pankaj Tripathi) and Lali (Manjot Singh) are back with Fukrey 3.
The first two installments have garnered tremendous success at the box office. While the trailer of the latest part has got a positive response from the cinegoers, does it live up to the expectations set by its prequels? Well honestly, it does. In fact, it almost surpasses with its entertaining storyline and impeccable performances of the ensemble.
Talking about Fukrey 3, it takes off from where the second part concluded. The Fukra gang, who had opened Janta Store has failed big time and now they are earning small amounts with some jugaads and Chucha’s special power Deja Chu. On the other hand, Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha) has turned politician and is now contesting elections for the portfolio of Minister of Water Resources. Water Mafia baddie named Dhingra sponsors Bholi for elections in exchange for her support in his illegal activities, which majorly contribute to water theft and smuggling.
While Bholi asks Pandit ji to come up with a hack along with Fukra gang to gather people for her campaign, Hunny makes a plan and convinces Chucha to stand opposite Bholi in the elections. Due to the increasing popularity of Chucha, Bholi Punjaban sends the Fukra gang to South Africa in the name of diamond hunting so that they couldn’t promote Chucha in the promotional campaigns.
The gang lands in trouble in South Africa but it soon turns out to be a disguise for them as they discover that the mixture Chucha’s urine and Hunny’s sweat turns into Hydro Carbon aka Petrol. While initially, the gang enjoys the overflow of money, things go haywire with a solid twist, which you need to witness on the silver screen.
Director Mrighdeep Lamba once again impresses with his narrative along with solid punches and hilarious oneliners. The filmmaker gives a social message about water theft and water gambling in the most entertaining way possible.
Talking about the performances, Fukrey 3 largely belongs to Varun Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi, who carry the film on their shoulders and take us on a laugh riot with their superb comic timing. Pulkit Samrat and Manjot Singh reprise their characters and manage to impress us with their apt portrayals. Richa as Bholi oozes swag with a dose desi rawness and a firey attitude.
On the whole, Fukrey 3 is one of the best entertainers of 2023 with ample laughters, hilarious punches and an important social message.
