Fukrey 3, the latest installment in the uproarious franchise of the same name, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, unfortunately, while it aspired to capture the magic of its predecessors, it falls short in living up to the lofty expectations set by the earlier films. The film reunites Hunny, Choochaa, Lali, and Zafar, who find themselves in another whirlwind of disastrously funny situations. As always, they stand by each other through thick and thin, navigating the comedic chaos that unfolds.
Fukrey 3 first half does manage to kick things off on a promising note, with several moments that elicit genuine laughter. Varun Sharma, in his signature role as Choochaa, and Pankaj Tripathi as Pandit ji, steal the show with their impeccable comic timing. Their performances keep the audience engaged and chuckling alongside Pulkit Samrat and Manjot Singh deliver decent performances, while Richa Chadha shines again as the indomitable Bholi Punjaban.
However, the film’s downfall begins in the second half, as it succumbs to lazy writing, resulting in a noticeable decline in humor and wit. The witty one-liners that were a trademark of the series rarely hit their mark. The plot takes an unexpected turn, attempting to delve into a serious issue of water supply in Delhi, and the climax feels disappointing in comparison to the earlier films. Additionally, as the story progresses, the screenplay struggles to maintain intrigue, and the humor becomes repetitive. The charm that made the first two films memorable seems to have faded.
Overall, Fukrey 3 is a mixed bag. It starts strongly with a promising first half, with genuinely humorous moments. However, it stumbles in the latter part, plagued by lackluster writing and an endeavor to address weightier themes. Varun Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi shine with remarkable performances, yet even their talents can’t fully rescue the film. For dedicated franchise followers, it could hold some nostalgia value, but it grapples to recapture the comedic allure of its forerunners, ultimately leaving expectations unmet.
