luck by chance reviewed

Luck By Chance may win brownie points in manifestation of reality but fails on the entertainment front.

Farhan akhtar s sister Zoya akhtar factu directorial venture has successfully extracted performances from farhan akhtar , konkana sen sharma , dimple kapadia, and the foremost Rishi Kapoor. Its sad to say that the film looks more like a Rishi kapoor movie encompassing contemporary actors . He steals the show in every frame hes seen in & is the top positive of the movie . He gives you a reason to laugh in the monotony you seem to be mired in. Hrithik is average on his part and looks a wasted actor in the movie . Isha Sharvani needs to brush up her accent & faster at that . She mightve looked pretty and sexy but still certainly lacks d enigma of a bollywood heroine . Konkana Sen is outstanding as the struggling actress . She emotes particularly the grim parts of the character s life with aplomb. Farhan impresses yet again as an actor. He needs to improve on his 'crying' though .Juhi chawla carries off the role of rishi kapoor s wife with elan.

She induces the viewer to laugh and smile with her.The cameos by aamir , kareena, manish malhotra, anurag kashyap, abhishek, john abraham ,rani mukherjee, and akshay khanna et al add reality to the plot . SRK though for 5 minutes impacts the story heavily

Talking about the negatives(which this film never seems to fall short of ). The film really never takes off . The fact that you feel that "the story now takes off" just when the film is about to end corroborates what a damp squib this movie is . At times in the movie you feel that the story is a blatant copy of 'fashion' with things going ditto the bhandarkar way . The film is incomplete and clearly looks to be the work of a 'not so experienced director' . It unsurprisingly induces you to yawn also . It baffles me that other critics have gone for a lenient 4 on 5. But i beg to differ and have no hesitation in stating that THE MOVIE DESERVES 2.5 ON 5. Go see the movie and if you dont feel my way tell me and i will cease reviewing movies altogether .( but it is highly recommended that you dont waste your time and money on this overhyped and annoying saga ).

  1. Wow. You can be harsh! Don't be as harsh as this in reviews. You don't have to make theatres run out of business. =P

    Anyways, I have a problem with parts of your review. I told you I'd help and I have a few pointers for you. Just remind me to write you a wall post on facebook.

    And yeah, "enigma of a bollywood heroine"? Bollywood heroines donot have enigma!! They are all bimbos. But that's just my personal opinion.

    I am kind of disappointed that you didn't talk about the ending of the movie. Eventhough, I haven't seen it yet, I've heard a lot about it's feminist ending.

    Plus, I LOVE FARHAN AKHTAR!! How could you do this to him???? :(

    Lol =P
