Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny may underline every decision but it the gigantic egos, the grand desires and the small opportunities that converge to form strange patterns.

Movie Reviews for Luck By Chance [9 reviews]

Realistic, life-like and soft-toned

The jibes are gentle, the tenor is fond, yet firm. But most importantly, the characters are completely real: feisty and flawed, even as the end is exhilarating.

Shows how a film should be made

Luck By Chance could have been much shorter. Quite a few songs could have been done away with. The screenplay flags and the first half can be painfully slow. The struggling period of the characters lasts for over an hour and it's something that could have been edited as well.

Insider look at the entertainment industry

Luck By Chance -- a truly out-of-the-box outstanding work of subtle, sly, satirical and whispering art -- is filled with people whom you're bound to have met in the fetid corridors of Bollywood or the Hindi film industry, as the star-mother Dimple Kapadia insists on calling it.

Makes you smell the celluloid

At a time when (more often than not) all you take back from a movie is a splitting headache, the director of Luck By Chance gives you something to treasure in the first few minutes that form the film's opening sequence.

Nice but long

Here’s a one-of-its-kind film that takes you into the underbelly of Bollywood – into the world of dreamy-eyed strugglers, pampered starlets, superstitious producers, Hollywood aping directors, and the sensation seeking media.

An enjoyable ride

To say Luck By Chance is a parody on the Hindi film industry would be naive if not plain ignorant. It showcases Bollywood for what it is, with all its manipulations, double-standards, glamour, quirks, cliches, shallowness, superstitions, struggles, clannish mentality and ever-changing priorities acting as way of life.

Luck By Chance is a good spoof on the industry

Zoya Akthar manages to portray the grey aspects of both - the film industry and its members without exaggerating the outcome with a taut and brilliant screenplay.

Love to love you Bollywood

a valentine as well as a poison pen letter to good-golly-it’s-Bollywood. And it actually prompts you to prance with pleasure - That’s debutante director Zoya Akhtar’s Luck by Chance

Not too far from excellence

On the whole, 'Luck By Chance' is sure to be loved by film buffs, multiplex audiences or those related with tinsel town. With no biggies slated to release for next couple of weeks, the producers can 'Rock On' filling their sacs with profits.
