Lady of the moment: Zoya Akhtar



Applause. Debutante director Zoya Akhtar does magic."Luck By Chance", I would say, is a wonderful work of film making because of many reasons-

1)Great direction, fantastic screenplay and editing. Added the winning angles to Farhan's performance.

2)Farhan somehow just can't stop the whole undying connection that he has established with the audience. He carries of the script in his unique and typical 'andaaz' and connects to his viewers very well.

3)Koko! Love her.

4)The sattire in the movie was brilliant. There were so many times that the audience was mum and behaved like zombies. Trust me, i was rolling.

5)Hrithik came in time and again. It was as if he was 'glittering' the screen.


6)Shah Rukh Khan exuded power in his performance(Sorry to break this to you but just had to mention this. After seeing the movie, you will know what I am talking about)!

7)It was great to see Rishi Kapoor acting very well to fit into his role perfectly.

8)Dimple Kapadia stole the show with her 'adaayien' once again. But a crucial 2 minutes got a lot of reality of the film industry and gave solid depth to her character.

9)The hidden paradox in the movie, which makes up its theme, is depicted in a very subtle way.(Do not want to disclose the hidden paradox. Let it be hidden)

10) The music is fitting and not unnecessarily glorious as in many bollywood flicks.

11) It is an intelligent movie.

12)It leaves you thinking.

Worth a watch. Spent Rs 140 on it, plus the popcorn. Surprisingly, did not come out regretting that I could have watched it on my laptop.

Hope to see more of such movies. Expectations are rising. Bollywood is improving.
Cheers.
