Luck by chance

Luck by chance...the title suggests that the movie is all about how fate plays an integral role in deciding our life's course....the movie in itself ain't all that.

It tells the story of Vikram (Farhan...delicious and talented...what a package ;) ) who comes to Mumbai to make it as an actor....Parallel to him is Sona (Konkana...good..but pehaps a little miscast?) who's the pro-struggler. While Vikram is a mover and shaker...who works to make his dreams come true....Sona prefers to put all her eggs in one faith kitty and belive her "mentor" will surely help her out. They meet, fall in love, only to separated by their ambitions..but their breif encounter is just what fate needed. One of them makes it big...while the other spirals into despair and settles for what is in store.

The best thing about this movie is its nitty-gritty about the movie industry...from outdoor shoots to unit food to tacky costumes. Rishi Kapoor as the producer is brilliant....looooove his Rolly (lucky number 5)...complimented very well by Juhi...his society kitty wife. Isha Shravani (very cute...all the guys will luv her) as the bimbo startlet who's terrorized by her glare-could-make-steel-quiver mom Dimple (perfect fit for this role) who's a yesteryear's superstar. Hrithik is an added delight in a small role that he brings alive with his eyes rather than his dance moves.

The cameos which were the big attraction of this movie are used brilliantly...no over-the-top star dramas...jus the right amount of reality. Watch out for the lines mouthed by each one of them as
you learn what is meant by "star quotes"....

Watch it once...to get a beginner's session of the movie making industry.
