Lucky Baskhar

Lucky Baskhar

An intriguing drama brilliantly conveying how money can change the life of an Indian middle class common man.

The plot of the story revolves around Baskhar,a bank cashier on how he cleverly uses the public money in the bank and how he takes advantage of the fraudulent financial scams in the country.

Exceptional story telling by Venky Atluri through a tight bound screenplay keeping the audience hooked to the screen. The first half of the movie portrays the minor crimes in the financial sector and the latter half shows how shallow the financial scams can affect the economy.

Venky has brewed family emotions, responsibilities and burdens of a middle class salaried man brilliantly to the story and gives the viewers a better insight visually on how money can be differentiated both as a need and desire.

Hats off to Venky & team for the phenomenal casting in the movie especially the characters in the bank premises giving avenues for their performances. DQ has spectacularly played the role of Bhaskar and his character arc is evident through distinct layers across the movie. Lucky Baskhar will be marked as one of the best performances in his filmography. Impressive performances by Meenakshi Choudhary,Sachin Khedekar & Ramki.

Splendid cinematography by Nimish Ravi marks his name in the Telugu industry and accurate cuts on the editing table by Navin Nooli gives a visual delight to the audience. Good music & BGM's by G V Prakash Kumar and the brilliant setting of the Mumbai streets and the bank by Benglann is worth mentioning.

A must watch movie in theatres for an engaging and entertaining show by Venky & DQ.

Rating - 4/5.

If there are massy movies in the Telugu industry, there are also movies like this one that, for a change, arrest you in your seat.

A simple cashier working at a bank starts rolling money into risky investment schemes, only to get addicted to it. How his life gets embroiled in the world of money laundering while managing his family forms the crux of the story.

Set in the 90s, the tale runs parallel to the Harshad Mehta era, which lends credibility to its fictional portrayal. The story balances emotions and financial intricacies in the right measure. What works best is that the movie is written in such a simple manner that, even without spoon-feeding, viewers can fully grasp the financial terms. With all the fraudulent acts the lead attempts to pull off, you are bound to sit on the edge of your seat with bated breath. The narrative takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, navigating the character's highs and lows.

Dulquer Salmaan completely embodies the character. This simple-looking yet layered role is made believable through his honest portrayal. For the superstar that he is and given his relatively young age, it is commendable how he adapts to playing an older man with grey hair and a young child. Meenakshi Chaudhary, despite limited screen time, provides solid support. Every small or big character plays their part brilliantly.

To recreate the 90s, the art department has done a commendable job, making the setting look authentic. The BGM and songs enhance the overall aura of the film. The climactic twist is something you won't see coming, and it works big time. Special mention must go to the costume designer for making Venky Alturi's world feel real.

This film truly deserves your time, and you can be sure that you will be thoroughly entertained. It's a movie with a strong plot, solid performances, and thrilling moments-everything you've been looking for.

One of the best movie that is made, not only the story , acting also above expected , dq deed his role seamlessly that he can easily do , that already we seen it. Everything was up to mark that's why we as audience loved it , if you look at thrilling ness, that also perfect , we don't feel it 2 and half hour movie , movie gone like a rockect , don not miss it , its a must theatrical watch movie , if you are a movie fan , then you should watch it , if you are a dulquer fan then you will be athe top of the world experience , his charm , his t=screen presence , his dialogue delivery , in any where i thought its a malayalam dubbed movie , dubbing was perfect and up to the mark.

I'm amazed by what DQ's versatility outside Mollywood. From a business standpoint, Tollywood has been very good with combination of fantastic writing with lead actors from the outside who are bound to sell the film in other sectors.

The writing takes the cake here, a scam film but you need to back the 'bad guy' - can go so wrong but it didn't; the middle class guy in you wants him to win at life. Set design like you'd totally believe that it's from a long time ago. I loved how they put a disclaimer out that said "The film is set in Bombay but the characters will be speaking in Telugu for our primary audience" Simple. That's all you had to do instead of making them speak in horrible forced accents (I hope Jothika and the makers of Kanguva took notes)

While it's based around the Harshad Mehta scam and narrated as a biopic, the way it's written in such a way that this feels like a heist story and it feels thrilling like a heist story should. DQ was amazing and so was the support cast around him. Interesting to see Meenakshi play a role that had some substance vs what she was asked to do in GOAT; good for her.

Is it as mind-blowing as people say it is? Not if you've seen heist movies in the past, but it's a good movie nevertheless; one that you wouldn't want to miss out on.

It's story is not new to audience ; money scam, greedy and lust for money and all ,but how this one Stand Tall among other stories is mainly because of 3 Things .. Firstly ; Outstanding screenplay by Venky Atluri ; Super engaging way of narration and pacing make it Amusing to watch !

Secondly ; Fascinating BGM tracks by G V Prakashkumar he delivered all kind of style ; Class and mass ! He set the mood in every occasion perfectly !

Finally Dulquer Salmaan ; His Charismatic and Charming performance is Treat to watch !

& all other Technical sides is in great standards, Art direction is commendable !
