Bollywood movie - Luck

I will start from movie luck and see if my luck works like moussa's luck on this blog :)

LUCK -
Luck means ‘Kismat’ in my mother tongue. Last Sunday, I went to watch this movie along with my wife Sumi, friend Anupam and his wife Shilpa. This is our small gang in London. We generally go for movie together and meet with each other every weekend. This was a Hindi movie so as usual our group’s pseudo Englishman Mr Anupam raised his objection but later he realised that it would be nice for his health if he agrees to come with others. I am sure he was threatened with various ways. On the other hand just like any other indian family, me and sumi was excited for this hindi movie. Since we both love Hindi movie or let me correct myself here that I love movies and she loves hindi movies.

This planning started a day before when I decided to go for movie while my friend was in no mood to watch any hindi movie and somehow managed to convince Shilpa that it would be nice to watch this movie some other time or may be skip this movie. I am sure it would have taken enough courage and time to convince shilpa not to watch hindi movies given a fact this gentleman has showed us lots of 3rd class English movies. Sumi and myself were preparing ourselves for movie and then here we got a call from Anupam. He was just checking out that how are things going on? What are my plans etc and at that time I thought to give another opportunity to shilpa not to miss this movie so I suggested do you want to watch this movie we will be out soon. And shilpa was kind of ready for hindi movie, she immediately grab the opportunity and agreed to be there with or without her husband.
But as usual Mr and Mrs agarwal were late, you must be thinking ‘as usual’ so that is a story for some other time.

We missed the movie show, which we were initially planning to view, but then we took that opportunity to shop from 99p and other showrooms. Sumi bought two tops and we bought some stuffs like salt etc from 99p for our house.

I will stop writing about my planning and will get back to the main theme ‘Luck’. This movie starts with a scene in which almost 7-8 people were handcuffed and blindfolded standing in cage and listening some train noise. At one point of time gate of this cage opens and suddenly all of the people start running towards one side and the picture zooms out to show that they are on the one side of rail tracks and there are 8-10 trains coming from both direction and these people are trying to cross the track without seeing that death is coming from which side. Apparently most of the people crushes under train wheel other than one guy named Musha (a role played by Veteran bollywood actor Mr Sanjay Dutt). That scene was definitely screened very well. After this scene narrator voice comes from the background and start telling story about Musha that how lucky he is. Narrator tells that how musha, was the only survivor of a riot and then when he jumps from 4th floor along with other friends and then his luck with cards. Narrator also tells that he is the one who had realized that he has got a very good luck and how is he using every bit of that luck and then narrator kept telling about other people who has similar luck but they don’t realize about that, that they have born with gods special blessing.

This movie star casts Imran khan son of a stock broker who commit suicide after running a failed fraud scheme is one of the example who had extremely good luck but has no clue about this.
Another character ‘Thamang’ in this movie played by Danny, who is kind of a recruiter for Musha, he search for the lucky people contact them and passes profiles to Musha for his team. In order to search for lucky people thamang travels to different part of world and hire people from different countries like India, Pakistan, china, South Africa etc. And then musha start a game of gambling , he throws different challenges in front of this chosen team like skydiving with a fact that there are certain parasuits will not open in the air and no-one knows that which one wont open. It’s just their luck will help them getting right parasuit.
Each person stays alive more day makes more money like INR10M per day, and then movie also shows love angles (not triangle) between Ravi, Shruti Hasan and Imran khan.

And in the last imran khan wins the jackpot along with mithunda coming in support of Imran to save shruti from the hand of rejected Ravi by shruti.

In the last of movie imran challenges musha for a luck challenge and found himself near death, but then director shows another bit of his luck saves him and kind of shows a draw between mush and Imran.
I guess Imran has maintained his cuteness in this movie also but I would have expected slightly better acting being nephew of perfectionist Mr Aamir khan.

Shruti looked gorgeous, Ravi was as expected overall acting level was ok other than sanjay dutt. Sanjay would not like to remember his performance in this movie, Since he was busy campaigning for his big brother Amar Singh. I felt movie was ok but definitely director couldn’t achieve what he should have.
