Lucky By Chance – Lucky for All
~ Radha Venkatraman ’12
Daughter of the great Lyricist and sister to the new hero on the block Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Aktar the director of this production has won the hearts of all. The movie not only has an amazing star cast comprising of legends like the great Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla, but also has the current heart throb of the nation Hritik Roshan doing a guest appearance. The story is based on the lives of two individuals who want to make it big in bollywood. These two are Indian Cinemas Konkana Sen Sharma; (Sona Mishra) who is known for her powerful performances and Bollywood’s very own Director turned Actor, Farhan Akhtar (Vikram Jaisingh). Vikram is a struggling theatre actor who comes from Delhi to Bombay to make a place for himself in Bollywood. Sona is already part of the industry but has still not made it big and is struggling. The two meet and understand each other and while helping one another fall in love. Unfortunately Luck favors only one of the two. The way their lives change once Luck enters it and the effect it has on their relationship is the essence of this story. The climax of this movie is what distinguishes it from others and makes it stand out. The star cast has done justice to this movie, but the show has been stolen by Konkana who has given an outstanding performance and is looking beautiful. Debutant Zoya Akhtar has to be given credit for presenting an intelligent film that appeals to all. A must watch Luck by Chance has proved to be lucky for all involved.
