Movie Review – Luck

August 28, 2009 — The Little B

Luck, a 2009 , was an action packed thriller. I went in with the mind set of expecting something new and that’s what I got. The is a new concept which is executed well. The action is top-notch and the stunts are beyond normal Bollywood movies. The first scene in which jumps in front of the train is very exciting as is the scene with the sharks. The actors have performed well, especially Ravi Kishan. The newcomer Shruti Hasan is pretty but only does a passable job. Imran Khan has acted well. Over all the was very enjoyable and a good time spent in a theater.

Does the new movie “Luck” live up to the buzz – New Movie Review

August 11, 2009 — The Little B

The latest Bollywood I watched is Luck, starring , Danny Denzongpa, Mithun Chakraborty and Imran Khan along with some new girl Shruti Haasan. I am a huge fan of Imran khan and . I have been head over heels over Imran Khan ever since I saw him in ‘Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na’ and will always hold his legendary place for ‘Munna Bhai’. However, this disappointed me as much as their last together ‘Kidnap’. The concept behind the ‘Luck’ was pretty good though I am sure it must be a copy of some Hollywood . Though the had some nice scenes it was pretty boring overall. acted well as he is perfect person for the roll. Imran khan with his serious expression, tried real hard to break away from his ‘chocolate-boy’ image, but he did not get me so excited. Moreover, his romantic scenes with Ayesha – Shruti Hassan, looked uncomfortable and forced. Mithun and Danny did their part well. I’d say, while the was a disaster,I still have high hopes for our star Imran Khan. I am really looking forward for some head spinning rolls from him in future.
