What does "Luck" mean? Katrina Kaif once stated in an interview, "Luck is a meaningless word." Farhan Akhtar has claimed, "Its not possible to lucky if you aren't hardworking." And Imran Khan doesn't even believe in luck! However, he along with the likes of Sanjay Dutt, Danny Denzongpa , Mithun Chakraborty, Ravi Kishan, Chitrashi Rawat and newcomer Shruti Haasan all star in Sohan Shah's feature venture, Luck. The director of Kaal has come out with a film, which promises to shock audiences in death-defying and yet stylish stunts along with some great performances by the immensely talented star cast. With promising previews and expectations running high, the film surely looked like it had all the luck it needs to rake in audiences and much moolah too.
'Luck' looks at the world of human gambling where kingpin Musa (Sanjay Dutt) employs luck-stricken individuals as betting objects and dares them to fight their own luck to survive. Their lives are put on the line when Musa challenges them to perform death-defying stunts for big money.
Musa’s annual betting game begins in South Africa when his partner-in-crime, Laakhan Tamaang (Danny Denzongpa), handpicks 20 members from across the globe who have a proven record of extreme luck.
Fasten your seat belts and get ready for hardcore stunts and thrills, Hollywood ishtyle. Come to think of it, Bollywood hasn't churned out stylised action movies as regularly as it churns out comedies and rom-coms. There's a vacuum for sure. But LUCK fills that lacuna. Be rest assured, you haven't watched such thrills since DHOOM 2.
LUCK is more of a hi-concept film. Three decades ago, Krishna Shah's SHALIMAR narrated the adventures of a billionaire who assembles/invites criminals/gangsters from across the globe to perform the heist of a precious diamond that he possesses.
The Coolest Daredevil stunts in Luck 23 Jul 2009 | 342 Views | admin
This week's release Luck has packed in quite a few action stunts.
From running atop a burning train to swimming with sharks, the film promises to be quite the thriller.
And stunt director Allan Amin seems quite proud of these daredevil stunts, where he has made the cast -- Imran Khan, Shruti Haasan, Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Danny Denzongpa, Chitrasi Rawat and Ravi Kissen -- go through some rare experiences in life. After all, most of the stunts are done by the actors themselves.
Love Aaj Kal, Luck The next two weeks are crucial, for the next two weeks will witness the release of two diverse, big-budget films - LUCK [Studio 18] and LOVE AAJ KAL [Eros]. The past few weeks have seen the business hit an all-time low, with SHORT KUT and JASHNN proving non-starters at the box-office. The losses, especially in the case of SHORT KUT, would be big.
Talking of LUCK, while Shree Ashtavinayak has this policy of not holding any screening of their film prior to its release, those who've watched a closed-door preview of this multi-starrer are unanimous that the film has never-seen-before action scenes.
Director Soham flies print to Chennai, to show Shruti's debut to her dad Kamal, his gal pal Gowthami and sis Akshara. The actress' mom Sarika still hasn't seen the film, which releases this Friday!
A special screening of Shruti Haasan's debut film Luck was held at director Priyadarshan's Four Frames Studio in Chennai on Friday. Her dad Kamal Haasan, his live-in girlfriend Gowthami and Shruti's younger sister Akshara were present. Priyadarshan was also at the screening and cheered for the star daughter.
You’d imagine he’d be sitting in his palatial bungalow with butterflies in his stomach because his latest film Luck — produced by Dhilin Mehta for Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. — is slated for release on July 24, worldwide. But Imran Khan is different.
The buzz is that the Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na heart-throb has taken a couple of days off to ring in his girlfriend Avantika Malik’s birthday at a secret destination.
"As actors, we all want our audience to like our work; so even if you ask me this question after five years I will say yes I want to work harder and harder to be loved by my audience."
~ Imran Khan
