Luck Review
Movie Review: Luck; Star cast: Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Shruti Haasan, Mithun Chakraborty, Danny, Ravi Kissen and Chitrashi Rawat; Director: Soham Shah; Rating: *** – Is a edgy thriller.
Mafia king pin Kareem Musa (Sanjay Dutt) takes the game of betting to an altogether different level by involving humans as betting objects who are made to fight their own luck to survive. Every year his trusted aide Tamang (Danny) assembles for him in South Africa, 20 participants handpicked from across the globe who have a proven record of extreme luck. Betters across the globe put their money on them through Musa’s syndicate. During the new season, amongst the participants are Ram (Imran) a white collar job youth who is hell bent on earning big money to compensate the huge fraud his scamster father was reason for, Ayesha (Shruti) who has her own personal agenda, Retd. Col Singh (Mithun) who desperately needs money for his wife’s operation, Shortcut (Chitrashi) a Pakistani camel racer girl who dreams of buying a Lexus with the prize money and Raghav (Ravi Kissen) a serial murderer. What happens after these participants are put into extremely dangerous life taking games of luck and who manages to win the big jackpot amongst them forms the rest of the film.
Luck begins with an exciting opening sequence that gets your heart in your mouth watching a blindfolded Dutt cross the multiple railway lines with trains running around in fast speed. Soham Shah shows tremendous progress as a technician with Luck. He succeeds in getting you all hooked throughout the first half. However, in the second half the pacing drops in between but then picks up yet again towards the pre-climax. Soham and Rensil D’Silva’s screenplay strikes the perfect balance between a slick action thriller and a mass entertainer. Dialogues are citeee worthy at places. The film may have its share of criticizers who need to understand that it’s a different genre altogether and that it should not judged with the same parameters of a realistic film or a feel good entertainer. Luck is edgy stuff. Soham also scores big points in his casting of the veterans. It is almost after 20 years that the trio of Dutt-Mithun and Danny has come together for any film. They were last cast together in Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1988). However, the climax could have been more effectively shot and culmination slightly less over the top. Editing and Camerawork is excellent. Salim-Suleiman’s music is racy and goes perfectly with the film. Amar Mohile’s background score is effective. Hari Dwarak’s sound design is excellent.
Amongst the actors, sadly the young brigade disappoints whereas the veterans shine big time. Imran Khan though earnest, is most of the times expressionless. Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruti Haasan has a striking screen presence but needs a crash course in dialogue delivery. Sanjay Dutt has achieved a mastery of sorts of playing the big hearted ‘bhai’ and here too he is in his safe zone. Dutt appears super chilled out and enjoying himself. Mithun Chakraborty is extremely impressive. Danny is a scene stealer in many sequences. It is great to see the veteran actor back in top form in a very meaty role. Ravi Kissen is terrific. Chitrashi Rawat is good. Snita Mahey playing Dutt’s team member is super hot.
Luck is a feast for adrenaline pumping edge of the seat cinema lovers. It is one of the slickest action thrillers to hit Indian screens. Action fans should not miss it.

let us try my luckby watching this movie well heard a lot frm ny frnd n will definetly watch this movie, and the second most important reason to watch this movie is that there is a lot of revenue has finance u make this stunts looking stunning, thogh people say huh not good….ok fine move…….pls dont do that, the efforts and hard working is also calculated, pls mind that also……thanks
Super film it is a paisa vasool entertainer. The dialogues are truely killer. After a long time i heard people whistling in cinema halls over dialogues.
But I didnt like Imran Khan acting he looks thanda.
all i can say that the FILM IS A BIG FLOP, watch it on your own risk. i must say no director in the boll wood can treat the film so badly than this …… so soham should be nominated for worst director (if there will be any category). shruti haasan role was very disappointing. protagonists were treated so lightly that villains were more looking more prominent than them.
worst movie i have ever seen.
luck is bad movie it shows its director’s weakneses and it is very upset movie for shruti hasan there is no good stunts but bakbak with topic of luck.
EK DUM FLOP MOVIE…KYA PAKAU HAI BOSS….
i left the movie half way through….
no acting no script no direction
SUPER DUPER FLOP!!1

Imran has done fabulous work in luck and sanjay dutt has rock. shruti hassan she is a gorgeous in movie and a must was watch movie by the acting of both imran and sanjay and a beautiful heroine shruti hassan. i love you shruti
these peoples are all ***** who have wrote worst film, i think they are having worst mind they dont know entertainment anyway from my point of view it is very fabulous movie
kuthoooo kaminoooooooo! what the hell u r writing. tell me whether i can watch it or not.
Go watch it for the stunts. Thers nothing more to it. Story is kinda ok with the stunts/Gambling. acting wise Sanjay Dutt (as usual) at his best. Danny and Ravi Kissen did wonderful job. i dont think imran khan did a good job portraying the charachter right. Imran is shown as a comman man who worked at a bank and suddenly he is given a gun and asked to shoot which he does so without any change of expression/. it seems he is the serial killer. imran didnt do a good job. shruti hassan…. soham cud have casted someone else for tht role but yeah she looked good but dialog delivery and acting shruti has to improve.
bakvas bendok yeda imran khan
****** ppl….if u wanna watch it go watch n if u dnt wanna den dnt…buh plz dnt r8 so outdated n retarded commentz……
mooosa bhai rocked……….imraan also ..n shruti was lukin so cute!!n tamaang also rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!best movie i have ever seen!!!
jo bhi is film ko dekhe ga wo chodumat ka pujar banjayega…..
ajj dekhunga to bataunga!!
I liked Sanjay Dutt Imran Khan and Danny. Concept is unique and Action scenes are very good. Luck Rocks
Stunts are amazing but story is poor….villans are dominating than heros. Its the summary and its up to you to watch it or not
imran rocks but movie was ok ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
good but only suits english men…indian audience haven’t grown to that level yet…u can’t expect this movie to become a hit in a village..and india is a country full of villages…try to make all the viewers happy…don’t film for just one segment of audience….shruthi needs to improve on her dialogue delivery and facial expressions…wouldn’t have mattered had she been from an ordinary family…but unfortunaltely it matters..cos her family is no ordinary….
bad bad movie yaar, shruti cant sing or dance or act 2 save her life, the tart
DNT Knw wats da problem THE MOVIE is great ….so go check it out only ON YOUR luck …dont moan later….lol
**** film
The movie is rockiiinggggggggg…after long time a movie that dont let u feel bore.The story is quite different and new .
Good movie…bad stunts
hey musa bola yeh picture dekhna hai to dekhna hai…..
sale log ek to cinema theater me to tum jate nahi….
bhade ki cd kharidne k bhi tum log k pass paise nahi….
tumhara luck to tum log se bhi kamina nikla….
musa
I think the movie is not paisa wasool,I irritate that the word “Luck” repeated approximately 1000 times in this movie every second dialogue LUCK LUCK LUCK what the hell yaar.Imran and shrutti absolutely Expression less.Imran bhai kya kar rahy ho yaar kam uz kam apny mama kee hee laaj rakh lo(Jaany tu ya jane naa)say kahin neechy kee acting.Sunju Baba no doubt is Rocking.Film kay har gaming scene main aap pehly hee bata sakty hain k kyaa hony wala hay(Baychary gory hee marain ***).Climax achaa tha.Good Luck(Jinhon nain nahin daikhee)
soooo boring n the story was hilarious
imran rockz n movie flop
