Luck by Chance - A Film on Films that Flows

 LUCK BY CHANCE 2009

by 

Zoya Akhtar 

The best part of the film is how real has the director kept it, how perfect the casting is and how very engaging  the screenplay is. Films about films generally become drags owing to indulgence and needless introspection, but this one has no need for needless affectation. With subtle punches, nudges and some innuendos, it keeps the viewer hooked. Farhan, Konkona, Hritik, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Boman Irani, Sanjay Kapoor, Alyy Khan, Anuj Mathur are all earnest in their output and never once go over the top. The tone of the film is meaningful and never goes sarcastic, though it does pull occasional punches. 

I remember the film for what Farhan Akhtar tells Konkona-

Kamyabki aur Naakami insaan khud hi chunta hai....

Success and failures are only the choices we make. 

Ek baat poochhoon.....haan?

Bhelpuri khayi jaaye?
