Luck By Chance (Dvd) (2009)(Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema / Hindi Film) Customer Review


This is a movie about one aspiring actors path through to the Bollywood bigtime. It is a very sharp and honest account of the Bollywood film industry (and probably all other film industries too). It is beautiful cinematography and should be appealing to both arthouse fans and those who like lighter Bollywood movies. There are a few Bollywood song and dance sequences but all in the context of scenes being filmed for movies. One of these has Hrithik Roshan strutting his stuff.
I did know Hrithik had an extended cameo (which he does very well). What I didn't know was how many other actors walk through this movie (and often have a few lines to say)as themselves including Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Abhashek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee, Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham and others. So it becomes a bit spot the famous actors, producers and directors. It is just done so well.
Farhan in the lead plays in an understated way but is very good. Konkona Sensharma as an actress friend also trying to make it, is also very good. They have strong support from innumerable well known Bollywood actors and actresses.
The only real complaint was hard to read subtitles. Another reviewer mentioned white titles that got lost in a busy background. Our subtitles were unusually small so we had to pull our chairs close to the set to read them. I hope this isn't a sign of the times. If the movie hadn't been so good we could well have abandoned it early because of the subtitles.
Now this movie didn't do that well in the multiplexes of India butelsewhere on the Net it can rate mostly 7.5 to 9.5 out of 10. Some of the theories about the Indian reaction were that it was too real and that Hrithik fans expected to see more of him than a cameo after his dance sequence was used to promote it. Anyway for me it's a keeper and one to rewatch.
