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.
"If I am making a film, and I don't earn any money and it does not win any awards, but if someone comes up to me and says hey, I love that film, that is the only thing that matters to me."
~ Imran Khan
