Bollywood’s newest college flick arrives with a bang in the form of “Fukrey,” a fresh new comedy directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba. The main cast consists primarily of newcomers such as Ali Fazal, Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, and Manjot Singh. Following the success of 2009’s “3 Idiots,” college coming of age stories have become more and more popular in Bollywood and “Fukrey” certainly lives up to the genre’s methodology. The story revolves around four guys all connected through the main college of their town. Zafar, played by Ali Fazal, is a former star student and musician that remain on campus three years after his graduation. Lali, played by Manjot Singh, is a high school student hoping to transfer into the very same college. And finally we have Choocha and Hunny, played by Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat, best friends and fellow underachievers in the classroom.

Choocha and Hunny are looking to get into this college in order to get with girls and enjoy the college life. Their stories become intertwined once each of them runs into financial troubles. Zafar’s father becomes sick and his family doesn’t have the means to pay for his treatment. Meanwhile, the other three are looking to come up with a boatload of cash in order to pay for the answers to the college entrance exam. Hunny comes up with a hare-brained scheme that involves manipulating Choocha’s wild dreams. He rationalizes that whenever Choocha has a dream, Hunny “decodes” a winning lotto combination from the details of this said dream. This technique has worked for the two in the past and once they convince the local loan shark Bholi (played by Richa Chadda) to lend them the money to play the lotto, they put their plan into play. The rest of the film involves the four of them working ways to get Bholi her money back after Choocha’s dream fails to get them a winning combination.
