Luck by Chance

Excel movies is slowly becoming my favorite productions house for Indian movies. Their movies tend to strike a chord with me every time.
I watch em once with a lot of trouble as they still don't seem to be getting the type of distribution as Yash Raj films tend to do. But then I get obsessed by them and want to own a copy asap.
This happened with Dil Chahta hai, Lakshya, Rock on and now with Luck by chance. I didn't care that much for Don but maybe I need to rewatch it. I just have trouble with revisiting movies with Shahrukh Khan but those are my personal hang ups.
(I even had issues with the special appearance he makes in Luck By Chance)
I think Farhan Akthar movies have a commmon thread, they are all about young men finding their place in the world, altough Luck by chance is directed by his sister Zoya, it does have the same sensibitilies altough from a female perspective.

Luck By Chance is a movie about finding satisfaction in life, determination when odds are stacked against you and about the choices we make and when success knocks on our door.
It’s about 2 strugglers in the Indian film industry and how their paths cross.
The movie wins out on all fronts in my book be it music, acting, narrative and to top it all off they have a dude with a gold moustache in the circus song ‘Bawre’.
How kick ass is that?

Farhan was pretty good playing a real person altough I wouldn't make the choices he made. Konkona was a very strong female character, some thing we don't see as much as Indian movies as we should, i loved the fact that she dumped Farhan's ass even after he apologised for being... well a person really and also for jumping the pale girls bones.
But come on... that was a tough call to make...
Hritik Rohan’s (superstar and 4th or 5th khan however the Indian media wants to portray him currently) extra thumb is leading a life on its own screen and I am seriously considering not watching his flicks in the theater anymore… I wonder if he can pick things up with it or he can lift more weights as he has added support. It’s mesmerizing in any case.
I enjoyed Sanjay Kapoor and would love to see a solo movie with him just cracking one liners and being a horrible cliché of a director, I wonder who they were spoofing but my guess is Subash Ghai (old school director of the 80’s) , who is pretty much a joke in my book. If you ever want to crack up laughing just listen to one of his English spoken interviews. It’s funnier then an episode of Little Britain.
In any case, get this movie, It s currently available on torrents for pirates with English subtitles.
