Forget the other reviews on this film posted on Mouthshut, and focus right here. Those critics and people who have said Lucky is not a good film are just pathetic people who are not open-minded and sensitive towards these kinds of film. This movie deserves to be well recognized and honoured.
I hope I haven't lost my touch in writing a review here at Mouthshut. First, I just want to say that it has become extremely annoying to hear people calling Sneha Ullal an ''Aish Look Alike'', when she is definitely not.
Also, where Salman Khan, who is the most good-looking and quite a good actor today in Bollywood, is hated around here, and always say that his movies are about him and Aishwarya. They should stop this kind of nonsense and really shut the hell up. Most of the time the media in India are nothing but crap, and they really don't give people a chance. I know that for sure, if Shah Rukh Khan was in this film, they would call this ''A Love Legend''. It's not fair.
Anyways, back to the film, whereas it stars Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Kader Khan, intro. Sneha Ullal and many more.
Lucky: No Time For Love is that kind of movie that will make you cry, laugh, put you on the edge of your seat, and just love this film.
First of all, what interested me was the storyline, where a 18 year old girl falls for a mature 35 year old man. But hell breaks loose when a war between the soldiers and the terrorist breaks out and the two have to find a way to get home. A different storyline compared to the Bollywood films today. Notice that the girl falls for him, and I am telling you, that there is not scenes in this film that would make you feel awkward about the story.
It's a beautiful film because the characters were real, natural and amazing. The cinematography of Russia is top-notch, where also the songs and their picturizations were mesmerizing. Adnan Sami has really amazed me with his work (as I have mentioned that on my review of the Lucky: No Time For Love music album).
Right in the beginning of the film, you will love the scenery and the background music, the title, and the introduction of Sneha where she is Lucky Negi. She is adorable, sweet and a innocent teenage girl. Sneha has really amazed me with her performance. She was natural in the role she was doing, her facial expressions, and her chemistry with Salman was very cute and believable. You may have been confused with the promos and the trailers thinking that she cannot act or dance, but you are wrong. She did everything perfectly.This movie was all about her. Note again, take that image of her being an Aish wannabe off your mind now.She is a completely different actress, and she can act better than Aishwarya. There were so many difficult scenes that she has done, in which I think no newcomer actress could ever do, and she has done it very well.
Salman Khan, as Aditya Sekhri a sexy, charming, handsome, funny and a witty man who is the son of an Ambassador in Russia.Salman was marvellous in this movie. He has put in a lot of effort into his performance.He did so amazing in his emotional and his comedy scenes. Salman was a natural and his chemistry with Sneha was perfect. Salman was a gem when it came to knowing the fact that a very young girl loves him. I love his scenes where he makes fun of Lucky and teases her and yet he also cares for that young girl and it was beautiful and sensitive.
Right from the start, the movie would interest the audience from one scene after another. There was no over dramatic scenes, and all the supporting characters were good as well. Mithun Chakraborty was fine as well and he was not annoying at all.
A short film that did not even drag a bit!. The screenplay was very well written and very witty. A fresh and unique film by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru and they were great as a directorial debut. They were genius when it came to the picturization of each song, and all of them were mesmerizing! My personal favourite is ''Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam'' Each scene of this movie was memorable and enjoyable, and it also made sense. There was no flaws whatsoever.
I can't decide which was the best part of the film. Was it the music? the couple? the dialouges? the scenery? the action scenes? the performances? Nope. All of them were perfect in every way.
If you are looking for a great romantic film, that is sensitive and amazing, then this movie is for you.
If you are looking for tense scenes based on war and the action packed scenes, then this movie is for you.
If you are looking for a movie that you want to remember forever that is entertaining, delightful, well done and based on a different kind of love that goes through tough situations, then this movie is for you.
Please, this movie should NOT be known as an average flick. It deserves much better than that since it is unique and special. It is a very cute and sweet film.
Please do not hesitate to see this film! I guarantee you that you will love it.
