Lucky: No Time for Love

Songs are quite impressive, movie sequence is good especially liked the way street war/fight shown. Gun shooting sound looks realistic. There is violence in this movie but tolerable. Salman's acting is as usual like a kid, but no overacting hence not boring. Sneha looks like carbon copy of Aishwarya Rai. She looks beautiful but as per her roll she remains like a school girl. Mithun acted quite well but he looks more of joker than intelligence officer. Only thing I disliked is the conversation in Rassian language, at least they should have put subtitles in the movie. Since there are no subtitles, couldn't understood the situations well. Anyway overall movie is quite good and songs too. In songs Adnan Sami has continued his regular tuning and stretched emotions in songs. But "Chori Chori" songs change mood, Sonu Nigam and Alaka Yagnik sung these songs very well. Hope to see Sneha in future movies with much more better appearance.

This film wasn't what i thought it would be, in terms of i thought that it would be another bollywood flop. I was definitely wrong, as salman khan made a great appearance, i certainly thought that his acting recently has improved dramatically, he's funny, charming as well a serious actor. Although the lady actress is the main character in the movie, salman khan seems to be carrying her throughout the film, he does most of the talking and she listens. The action stunts in the movie was truly surprising, the directors did a pretty good job in making the stunts look like a Hollywood film, so a big pat on the back for those Asian directors, they have definitely come a long way. Overall a movie worth watching.

So I don't know how the rest of the reviewers are able to get over how damn creepy this movie comes off as. Lucky is 17 supposedly but seemingly acts like she's 12 and it's so cringe worthy to see an old guy like Salman Khan going after her... That's a pretty crazy thing and on the face of it sort of reminds me of Nishabd (which handled this topic SOO much better). It almost feels like it's pandering to immature boys with schoolgirl fetishes. And having it set in Russia I'd think maybe there's a reference to Lolita but this just seems creepy

This was a nice, feel-good film that comes as a breath of fresh air. Adnan Sami has done an outstanding job with the music! All of the songs have been picturized beautifully. Aankhein Bharlo does a nice job of fusing the ambiance of the Russian czar era with the grace of India. Sun Zara portrays Salman's hope. Chori Chori is set in a storeroom that evokes the tale of the Princess and the Pea. Ek Ajnabi captures the captivating Siberian desert. Lucky Lips is a fun song, and the remix, which doesn't feature in the movie, is really cool. All songs are very melodious and enjoyable. As one can tell from the promos, Sneha Ullal is not much more expressive than a zombie. She's lucky that her role required her to be pretty much a zombie. One can really tell that she's very camera shy. Salman Khan did a great job, and it is nice to see him after such a long gap. Cinematography is magnificent as it captures not just the majestic Russian tundra and landscape, but also the Russian culture, values, and political climate. There is not much of a story as this movie doesn't really require one. It's a run-for-your-lives type of film with Salman and Sneha trying to dodge the terrorists and falling in love in the process.

Plot Outline: Schoolgirl Lucky (Sneha Ullal) and Indian Ambassador in Russia's son Aditya (Salman Khan) meet by accident in what turns out to be one of the most risky days of their lives as they battle insurgency in finding their way back home to safety.

Comment: The Russian locales such as the buildings in St. Petersburg, the graveyard, the train and snow make the movie look like a fairy tale. The story is predictable and the twists get funny at times. When I first saw the promos with Sallu carrying a lifeless and expressionless Sneha and the sub-title "No time for love", I thought that that the movie is love story with a terminally ill girl. Thankfully, this is not the story anyways.

Salman acts his age and looks decent. Newcomer and much publicized Ash-look-alike Sneha looks sweet but devoid of life. Hope Sneha's next movie will put some life in her. Mithun Chakraborthy is a sad bondage to the movie. Adnan Sami's music is fresh and 'Lucky Lips' is a must for your mp3 player.

Rating: 2/5 – Watch out for newcomer Sneha and Adnan's music.
