FUFFAD Ji (Punjabi) - A family drama that finds it grip towards the end. (Review by Bobby Sing)

Director Pankaj Batra delivered a hit family-comic drama Bambukat in 2016, which had the main track of a tussle between two sons-in-law of the house, written by Jass Grewal. Taking a clue from the same, he now comes up with Fuffad Ji, based on a similar premise of confrontation between the fuffad (father’s sister’s husband) and the son-in-law, written by Raju Verma. Hence, Fuffad Ji can also be called the unofficial sequel of Bambukat, featuring Binnu Dhillon in the lead, playing almost the same role.

The 110 minutes film begins with an intelligent sequence introducing its key characters, but then keeps going on with nothing significant happening in the next 20 minutes. The pace picks up the moment Gurnam Bhullar walks in, and his conflict with Binnu brings some excitement back into the narrative, along with the edited versions of a few likable songs. Post a routine progression, the film again comes back on track when Gurnam gets married to Palli (Jasmin Bajwa) becoming the son-in-law. Binnu’s fragile ego as the fuffad gets hurt and their face-off becomes intense, resulting in some funny sequences.
