Luck

This film has the best dialogue, the best character development ever seen and the best action sequences in any film ever. This is a must watch for every Netflix user who has watched Squid Games as it will show them the true experience, the way it was supposed to be written.

Netflix should be ashamed that they tried to recreate this true marvel, and failed at the first hurdle. No writer can ever truly beat this masterpiece of a movie as it has no flaws.

It is the definition of perfection.

Netflix ripped out the core of this once in a lifetime experience and paid off all the other reviewers in 2009 using a Time Machine to make sure that this never rose from the dead desert. Truly sickening to see, I will be suing Netflix alongside the writer to protect his goldmine of a movie.

10/10- the best thing to ever happen to this planet (apart from Jesus's birth, death, resurrection and accession).

Luck had every element in it to be a good watch, but it fails big time. The plot is good, it should have been written well. Actors were great in the movie, but then also it does not lives up to expectation.

It was something that I had not expected at all and therefore was rather taken back by its contents. A Mafia kingpin is obsessed by gambling not in the usual way but with peoples lives and he finds those who are in need of money and puts them through tasks, which can result to be very costly if they decide to leave or aren't able to complete.

Starring Mithun Chakraborthy, Sanjay Dutt, Imran Kham, Ravi Kishan, Danny Denzongpa and Chitrashi Rawat. Shruti Hasan, daughter of Kamal Haasan, is introduced in this, while Rati Agnihotri makes a special appearance. This is directed by Soham Shah and Salim – Suleiman provide the music score.

This is Imran Khan's third film in which he is in action for the second time, the previous being "Kidnap" and he is good in some scenes but unfortunately, his character of a person who needs money, goes from convincing to unconvincing as the movie progresses. Shruti Haasan, making her debut in this, has shown signs of potential talent and also has the looks as well and given some time, she will accelerate in this career. But the two actors who were conspicuous throughout are Sanjay Dutt and Danny Denzongpa but the same cannot be said for Mithun Chakraborthy as his was rather on the weak side and felt that much more could have been done to his character but was not.

Director and writer Soham Shah has tried to introduce a new type concept with its theme of gambling and having the characters play Russian roulette and has added on some stunts, which are not anything new but do look spectacular and nothing else. But somehow, the film does manage to keep the audience stick to their seat and yet it fails to click as no one who is in the right frame of mind would play Russian roulette with their lives even if they need money.

This film just does not appeal or click but is just about watchable but unfortunately is a flop.

Soham Shah made his debut as a filmmaker way back in 2005, with the well-made Kaal... four years later, he's back this time around with a flick named 'LUCK'.

Lets this straight: When you watch a film like 'LUCK', don't expect coming out watching a milestone. Such films promise to entertain, that's it! Based on human betting and their LUCK, Shah impresses big time with his slick direction in 'LUCK'.

'LUCK' has its hiccups up, but come on which film doesn't. Logic is not the topic here, entertainment is. 'LUCK' succeeds in keeping the viewers interest alive in those 2 hours and some minutes. Despite a weak climax, 'LUCK' is highly an engaging watch. Slick direction, grind house production value, first-rate performances, excellent background score and cinematography make 'LUCK' indeed worth a watch.

Performances: Mithun Chakraborty is fantastic. His portions are among the high-points of the film. Sanjay Dutt is stylish as moussa. Imran Khan is alright, he doesn't really suit the action-oriented role. Danny is in form after a long time. Shurti Hassan makes a good debut, but she enters the scene only at the interval. She deserved more footage, keeping in mind this is her launch pad. Chitrashi Rawat is first-rate in a brief role. Ravi Kishan is superb, he plays the Grey character with remarkable ease.

All said n done, 'LUCK' is entertainment at its best. Leave your brains at home and go watch 'LUCK', your bound to love it. Thumbs Up!

Luck tries to be a high-stakes survival thriller with an intriguing premise, people with extraordinary luck compete in deadly games for gamblers' entertainment. But what could've been a gripping ride quickly turns into a messy mix of copied ideas, shallow characters, and over-the-top stunts.

Despite a solid cast, Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, and Shruti Haasan, the film suffers from weak writing, flat performances, and ridiculous logic. Scenes feel borrowed from better films like Intacto and Death Race, and the emotional moments lack impact. Ravi Kishan is the only one who brings some energy.

With stylish visuals but no real soul, Luck ends up being a forgettable gamble that doesn't pay off.
