Movie Review: Luck By Chance!!

Well ever since Farhan Akhtar(FA) gave us Dil Chahta Hai, he has definitely established himself a supremely talented director.....With the inspiring Lakhsya (where FA successfully got Hrithik Roshan to act decently for the first time)....and the Modern and cogent remake of the Big B'ssuperhit DON starring SRK.....FA started becoming the most accliamed youth director....But he pulled a rabbit out of the hat in ROCK ON!!! His measured performance, the boy next door looks and a well toned body transformed Farhan overnight into a new acting sensation.

Whatever formula Javed Akthar and Shabana Azmi used , theri kids have turned out just fine....Zoya Akhtar (ZA) has entered the bollywood scenario with her first movie 'Luck By Chance' encashing on the sudden craze everyone has on her brother. Well Hats off to ZA and FA....they have managed to present a wonderful movie that so beautifully depicts the entire spectrum of Hindi Cinema....Every angle, whether it is the Struggling unsuccesfull actress (Konkona Sen), the sudden sensation in acting ( Farhan Akhtar), the current Superstar (hrithik), yesteryears Great producer (rishi Kapoor), the Diva from the 70's (Dimple Kapadia), the cynosure of everyone's eyes, junior Diva (Isha Shravani), the over ambitious, supoosedly modern director (Sanjay Kapoor) and even the proud showy producer's wife (juhi chawla)...i could just go on....but the underlying fact is that all these angles have been depicted with perfection....highly realistic but not as depressing as a Madhur Bhandarkar reality take like Fashion!!!

The story is somethin like this.....Sona ( Konkona Sen) is given promises of big movie projects by Chaudry (ally Khan) and she decides to do small roles till then...however Chaudry doesnt keep up his end of the deal.....Sona feels utterly dejected as she has given everything yet has struggled to get a breakthrough.

Vikram Jai Singh (Farhan Akhtar) is another aspiring actor who lives in the same buliding as Sona with his other actor friends....One in the movie industry and one in theatre...the 3 friends have lots of issues amongst themselves that have not been addressed!!! Vikram and Sona start to like each other and Sona manages to reach his photos to Chaudry.....

While all this happening on one end, parallely Romy Rolly (rishi kapoor) the legendary Bollywood producer is making his comeback with a big movie project directed by Ranjit Rolly (sanjay Kapoor) ....a director heavily inspired by Blatant Commercial and mindless cinema....The movie's hero is Zafar Khan (hrithik Roshan) who is actually a Romy rolly find!!! The Heroine is the 70's diva Nenna Wallia's (dimple Kapadia) daughter Nikki Wallia (Isha Shravani).....While Minty Rolly (juhi Chawla) and Romy Rolly are busy with movie....Zafar decides to opt out for his own reasons......things look bad for Romy, thats when Vikram's photos reach him and suddenly a hero is cast in this big movie.

The remaining story of the movie is the rift between Sona and vikram, the relationship between Vikram and Nikki,the press and photo shoots and the fact that Vikram has to manage his stardom and stay level headed!!!.....

The movie moves at a decent pace throughout and is boosted by some great screen play and performances.....Farhan has proved himself to be one of the best actors bollywood has seen in the recent times....Konkona is gr8 as always.....Sanjay Kapoor impresses everybody....Its nice to see Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia on screen together once again...They have played their roles to perfection!!...Isha Shravani is cute and adorable as nikki wallia and has done justice to her role.All the cameos and special appearances have been perfectly sketched out and casted....Aamir Khan,Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Khanna, Vivek Oberoi and even SRK 'king khan' have added a lot od spice and substance to Zoya Akhtar's Recipe for Luck by chance..

The Background Score is pretty decent.....Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have given a decent mix of songs as well....most of them are good to hear but dont have a gr8 recall value.....Sapnon se Bhare Nainaan and Pyaar ki dastaan are the 2 best tracks in this album...The intro song 'Yeh Zindagi' is brilliant in pieces but has some ordinary percussion arrangements.....the picturization however is wonderful....Its like a Bollywood version of Kuselan's "Cinema Cinema"....

Overall Zoya Akhtar has proved that she is as talented as Farhan if not better when it comes to film making and has given us a refereshing and realistic foray into the Glamourous wolrd of Bollywood. The Ending is different but extremely practical and realistic.....On the whole,Luck By Chance is a polished and well made movie....Definitely worth a watch!!!! RATING:8.8/10
