The season of bromance is back
After films like Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Rock On (2008) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), Farhan Akhtar-Ritesh Sidhwani’s next, Fukrey, will offer yet another take on friendship. This time around, they will take you to East Delhi, where the story — the camaraderie between four fukras — unfolds.
Says Ritesh, “Though Fukrey is about friendship and bromance at its core, it has a simple premise. It is a fun film about four boys who are fukras. They need to secure admission in a college, but know that they cannot make it on merit. So, they do some jugaad.” The turning point is when that gamble goes wrong.
So, how is this tale of friendship different from their previous films? Explains Ritesh, “Unlike our previous films, where the protagonists were already friends, in this one, they become friends during the course of the movie.” Also, while the previous flicks have an urban backdrop — be it Mumbai, Goa or Spain — this one offers a glimpse into rural life. “This movie is more earthier,” he concludes.
Fukrey releases today.
