Luck by Chance is directed by Zoya Akhtar, a first time director but a second generation industry insider and starring Farhan Akhtar, Konkana Sen and cameo appearance by Hrithik Roshan, Dia Mirza, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Ranbir Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra and Kareena Kapoor. Take a look at the summary of reviews.
Bollywood Hungama rates 4.0/5.0. Luck by Chance taps almost every important facet of Bollywood and presents assorted characters you’ve encountered some time in life: An over-ambitious aspirant who knows to make the right moves; an actress trying hard to get that big break, even if she has to compromise; an icon of the 1970s who desperately wants her daughter to be a star; a producer who looks at riding on big names, script be damned; a failed actor now looking at direction to redeem his career. One of the prime reasons why Luck by Chance works because Zoya Akhtar’s direction is simply wonderful. Leave aside everything and hitch this joyride called Luck by Chance. It would be sacrilege to miss this one! – Bollywood Hungama
CNN-IBN rates 4.0/5.0. Watch the film for Hrithik’s dance, Konkona’s performance and all the guest stars. Javed Akhtar’s dialogues are brilliant as usual. His wit and sensitivity comes across in every other scene. Zoya Akhtar shows just how a film should be made. – CNN-IBN
NDTV recommends watching the movie. Zoya pokes fun at Bollywood but she does it with a great affection. There are some lovely little moments like the star daughter in a super short skin-tight outfit struggling to touch her producer’s feet without splitting a seam. But what makes Luck By Chance compelling, is the layers beneath the laughs. The first half wobbles precariously as the script struggles to find a momentum. But thankfully the narrative flows better in the latter half and culminates in a satisfying, bittersweet end. Luck by Chance is a perceptive portrait of our dream factory. We recommend that you make time for it. – NDTV
