Soham Shah after the dreadful KAAL comes with LUCKHe brought a big cast at least Sanjay Dutt and the newbie Imran Khan were the hot ones rest he brought Mithun, Ravi Kissen and othersThought he had a pipping hot film to do a Dhoom 2Little did he think that creativity is requiredHe copied THE CONDEMNED and 12 ZAMETI and made a crap film out of itThe film looks like a big screen version of FEAR FACTOR or KHATRON KE KHILADI but sadly it is treated shabbilyThe concept is marred with songs, romance and also the thrill factor is very clichéd and rarely does it thrill The climax is badDirection by Soham Shah is bad Music is okayStunts are okay at placesAmongst actors Sanjay Dutt looks overweight, tired and just walks around Imran Khan is too stiff Newcomer Shruti Hassan falls flat Mithun is as usual Danny is good Ravi Kissen is okay

This was a crappy movie from the get go. I was only held in suspense waiting for danny denzongpa to evolve. Shame on all the idiots who spend money to make such crap. The guy who wrote this screenplay must think he is hot- sorry! dude news flash, go back to school, be intelligent and CREATIVE before writing such crap again. And what drugs was the director and producer doing to get so inspired to make this crap. PLEASE Don't" SPEND your Money to see this. The easy on the eyes actors except for sunjay dutt (you are washed up, bloated and done for with no acting skills left and the same old tired slow walk with slumped shoulders hold no appeal any longer) got wasted in this movie as well. UGH!

LUCK is a stylish movie with good dialogues and like all other movies which depict high-end action even LUCK had to compromise a little on common sense and logic. I totally disliked KAAL, the same witer-director Soham's 2005 disaster movie! LUCK as a movie could have surely captured a cult-following, but it lacked a constant adrenalin flow.A few ideas in this movie might look similar to that in Kaante..like the first job assigned to Imran Khan and the concept of gathering a gang for a special task. What similarities to Deathrace? No need to mention if you have seen Deathrace (any old/new) Matrix 1, because Danny in this movie was the Morpheus and Imraan was the Neo. (like many other wanna-be/could-be Neos)Sanjay Dutt as usual carries of the Underworld shade very well (though he mentions that he is a Busineessman who does "Pure Business" and not a Mafia DON in the movie). Sanjay Dutt sports a new beard style in every new hardcore Mafia movie, Kaante/Plan/etc. etc. I would like to see what is his new beard style since he is done with almost all !! You will get to see him doing his typical "I don't know" type-move when he opens up both of his arms wide and moves his neck and gives a "I-don't-know-anything" facial expression. Also there are a few unintentional funny scenes : - When Danny helps Imraan get out of the ATM trouble near Fountain and later on after driving for so long drops him there again !! ?? - Where US Embassy in Bombay is located at VT ?? (atleast as per the movie) - Where Imraan Khan can get 3 stamps of "REJECTED", always then and there on the spot on his passport.I watched this today morning @ Jaipur(India) and I could see localites whistling and clapping on Mithun's performance.. very opposite from a Metro like Bombay.LUCK is a good watch if you want to get an experience of jumping from a building/airplane/running-burning-train and can't do it, but instead are ready to compromise 2.5 hrs for a similar lukewarm feeling.

Director Soham Shah's multi-starrer action thriller is a feast for moviegoers, who love daring stunts. It is one of the best action thrillers of Bollywood. People who love action thriller should not miss it.The story is based on a betting syndicate run by mafia king pin Kareem Musa (Sanjay Dutt). Kareem Musa takes the game of betting to highest level by involving humans as betting objects.Musa's aide Tamang (DannyDengonzapa) selects 20 participants from across the globe and assembles them in South Africa for the daring game. The participants have a proved record of extreme luck.Betters put their money on the participants through Musa. The film starts with a new season. The participants are Ram (Imran Khan), who is a working professional and wants to earn huge money to compensate his father's fraud, Ayesha (Shruti Hassan), Retd. Col Singh (Mithun Chakravorty), who needs money for his wife's operation, Shortcut (Chitrashi) and Raghav (Ravi Kissen), who plays the role of a serial murderer.All these participants are put into extremely dangerous life taking games of luck and who manages to win the big jackpot amongst them forms the rest of the film.The movie begins with an exciting scene, in which a blindfolded Dutt cross the multiple railway lines with trains running around in fast speed.Soham Shah succeeds in getting audience hooked with their respective seats throughout the first half. However, the second half of the movie is very slow but it gets the momentum pre-climax.Luck
