The only good thing about the entire movie was that I won a copy of Anees Bazmee's Welcome for being a good boy and filling a survey. You can imagine my plight that I have to become happy about winning a CD of another movie which was just as stupid, but not as retarded as Luck. Its only when the movie starts after Sanjay Dutt's awesome intro train scene, I realized that I should have left my brain at the security counter. Why you ask? Thats because your brain would be a highly dangerous object in the course of this largely predictable movie.
We've seen enough brainless action thrillers, but nothing I assure you, falls so flat on its face. Though the effort taken to introduce a story line is appreciated, the way it is approached will cause nothing less than pain and anguish of the highest order. And though Shruti Hassan's presence on screen will please you, her accentuated and robotic dialogue delivery will only make you bang your head on the seat ahead of you.
Because of the weak screen play, we have an aging Sanju Baba who constantly reinforces the concept of Luck to suit the situation in the movie. Which by itself seems like a reality show in which people are legally allowed to act, but ironically don't. Imran Khan looks terribly out of place at times and it is hard to believe him when his character intends to hurt or kill. Ravi Kishan, who plays his part of...
rapist to perfection is good comic relief on screen. And so is Chitrashi Rawat who plays a camel racer at a desert in Pakistan. Danny Denzongpa is pretty efficient at playing Dutt's right hand man and so is Mithun Chakroborty at playing the old retiring 'mere paas paison ki kami hai' types army major.
I wont kill the ending for whatever little it is worth but I have to tell you an interesting tale from the cinema hall. Perched on the premium seats, a dignified man gets up and screams 'abey, chappal nikaal ke maaru kya'. Thats exactly what I wanted to do to myself for watching this piece of cinematic bullcrap. Come on Bollywood, when will you make movies with simple scripts and honest, believable storylines? Good luck to you, then.
