I’ve no previous experience with writing Movie reviews. This is going to be the first one :) .

It was really a luck by chance that we got tickets for the movie “Luck by Chance”. Overall the movie is nice. But not an extremely good entertainer though. Had high exceptions about the movie since this was Farhan’s next movie after Rock On! (which was an awesome movie).

The movie is about the lives of few struggling actors who are trying hard to get a good break into bollywood. Farhan plays the role of a very confident guy who’s determined to become a big star and has been doing hard work for the same. the movie brings out some real truths about the lives of upcoming actors in bollywood. how they find it hard to make their way into the big screen in the presense of star kids (kids of yesteryear stars of the bollywood) who dominate the hindi film industry.

Unlike other hindi/indian movies the hero is not portrayed as the ideal human being (mariyada purishothaman :P ). in the movie the hero’s character does contain a bit of negativism. He is forced to follow a not-so-ideal path to reach stardom, which in a way brings out some truths about how things work out in this modern day world. Unlike majority of the conventional movies, the movie also has a realistic ending and not necessarily a happy one. Nice to see such bold experiments in hindi movies.

The movie is a bit dragging. It is more of a serious movie, lots of dialogues, which gets a bit boring at times. If you are looking for an entertainer then this is not the movie to see. But if you are looking for a movie with some real life situations this would be the one to look for. Few thing i liked about the film film – there are no fight seens, no masala songs and no out of the world heroism. Overall I liked the movie because of its realistic aproach. I would not be dong justice if i miss to mention that Farhan Akthar and Konkana Sen proves that they are extremely talented and have done a good job in this movie. If i’m asked to rate the movie ‘Luck By Chance’ i would rate it 3/5.
