Movie Review of Bollywood Movie Luck By Chance

Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Isha Sharvani, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Kapoor, Aly Khan, Sheeba Chaddha

Director: Zoya Akhtar

Is being a good actor enough to make you a star? In Zoya Akhtar's detailed sketch of Bollywood and its colourful, conflicted denizens, the most important ingredient in a wannabe's portfolio seems to be that elusive thing called luck.

`Luck By Chance', a wonderful colloquialism which you hear only in Mumbai, opens a wide window on our dream merchants : strange-yet-familiar characters we've met in fanzines, other films-on-film-people, on TV shows. What makes this debut of Zoya Akhtar, daughter of Javed, sister of Farhan, less than what it could have been, though, is in the way `Luck By Chance' unspools—shutting between the generic and specific and back again can sometimes diffuse a film : this one, the latest in the line of Bollywood-looking-at-Bollywood ensembles, needed to have been both newer, and sharper to make it the definitive insider story.

Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...
