100% Success - Film rocks!
Luck by chance surpasses all the films I had seen so far.Its not a film that should just be taken as a story on how the bollywood industry works n bla bla.But,its a film that showcases life's of strugglers,whatever field it may be.In this world, if you have to achieve success,then it wont come easily unless n ofcourse that luck factor is with you,paths have to be created and you need to keep going on that path whether success comes or not.
The story of Luck by chance is about Vikram(farhan) who came from Delhi to become actor,he meets Shona(konkana) who lives in same building.Shona has been doing side roles of 1-2 scenes in films but she is told tht a film will be done with her in lead,though it never happens.Vikram doesnt believe in losing hope,even if he has to struggle,but when he does gets that luck by chance,he tries to use or misuse it for his own betterment. Is he right in his approach or not and will he ultimately achieve success,thats all story is about.
Farhan akhtar shines in the role,comes out as totally natural,his expressions during sapne se naina entire song are to watch out,how much nervously he looks at the proceedings happening all around. Or the scene with isha at night when farhan decides to manipulate his ways of getting success.And he can dance too,bachna ae haseeno .
Konkana was very good,yet another gud performance from her,as far as looks is concerned, I think one scene in vanity van completely tells why such looks in film as she is said not to get a lead role for commercial films because no actor would work with her,instead top models would be considered.The climax scene is the probably the best one from konkana.
Aamir Khan is good as his scene shows his involvement after doing a scene.
Shahrukh Khan gives a important advice as a star for a newcomer vikram.
Vivek oberoi was fine.
Abhishek was nice.
Akshay khanna sort of irritated.
John was just fine.
Kareena was good.
Dimple kapadia was superb,specially the scene where she tells her daughter to talk with vikram for next film.
Isha sherwani looks perfect for the role.
Hritik Roshan shines the most among special apperances.Watch his scene in car when some kids come to see the great zafar khan,and hritik though in anger mood becomes light hearted to see them.Also, the scene with karan johar where he is told how one actor's rejecting a film becomes another actor's blessing in disguise.And ofcourse,his dance steps in baawre,something different then wht he had been mostly doing in last few songs.
Some of the best scenes for me were :
Rishi kapoor upset on behavior of todays actors giving dates thinking of past times when it was fun making film.
Dimple kapadia saying its not bollywood,its hindi films industry.
The feelings of farhan's friends during his failures and sudden success during drink scene or during autograph scene.
Anurag kashyap asking isha sherwani to use murder instead of khoon.
There's plenty more minor things shown in the film,the behavior changes,how a person hates you when you are nothing n then same person shows fake love as you get tht success ?.
Only possible flaw if there is in the film,then its the pace of the film which is quite slow but it never makes you bored
Songs are brilliantly used,watch opening credits very innovative n different,already talked how well sapno se song is,then baawre is visual treat with wonderful circus arrangements n hritik dance moves.O raahi is used in background only while a love song during vikram's first film shooting.
Direction is superb,excellent writing,very good screenplay and also special reference to dialogues which serves the purpose so well and very meaningful.
The climax of film is very simple yet it gives away a great message that whats important,to lead a life with lots of comforts betraying ppl for that success or to be happy with what you are n keep striving for success in right way.
In the end, I will say Luck by chance,is a very good film for the execution of the story and the performances.It never lets u down at all.Must watch
