Luck is fascinating! Luck is mysterious and we have no control over it, which is why we do so much to propagate it: go on fasts, spend so much money to appease Gods………
Well the movie “LUCK” is another story altogether. The media, without so much of an ado, panned it before the day of release itself, Not Fair!
I got to see Luck at an early morning show in the second week, Surprise! Surprise! Housefull!! Soham, a pat on your back for making such a slick movie. Give it a chance guys! Making a movie on luck and not going to Vegas, is in itself, an outrageous thought, but it works - and how!
Riveting from the word go, the movie rushes to where angels fear to tread. Based on a flimsy, shadowy concept, another director would have faltered badly.
Imran, glad to see you in such ‘hat ke’ movies and managing to look lean, mean and also pull off those stunts so beautifully. Wonderful to see old guards - Danny and Mithun. That small chit of a girl from Chak De! is a delight!
Yes, the word luck is uttered again and again, the stunts could have been a bit more creative, hospital scenes could have been deleted, Kamalahasan’s daughter could have been just a little bit more expressive, Ravi Kissen a bit more toned down, Sanjay a bit less predictable….. et all. But we forgive you Soham, because, in the end, Luck is a breathless roller coaster ride, Enjoy It!
