I'm amazed that so many people have liked this film. It opens with a huge disclaimer that any character bearing any resemblance to a real person is purely coincidental. Since such words are normally placed at the end of a film, it's pretty obvious that there is no coincidence at all. Sneha looks just like Aishwaria Rai, and since she can't act at all, she must have been chosen for her looks. And we all know why....Although the views of St. Petersburg are stunning, the plot is stupid and completely unbelievable. *SPOILER* In one scene, Adi (Salman Khan) asks a stranger for help. The stranger insists on payment. Adi gives him all his money, but the stranger wants more. The stranger wants the expensive sports car too, so Adi gives him the keys. Then the stranger takes Adi and Lucky (Sheha) to his father who is a doctor. No attempt is made to get the car back even though it would have been easy to do so...This film was made for young girls who fancy Salman Khan and to give them the fantasy that SK could go for a girl half his age. For anyone else, this film is a huge waste of time....

This is my first review, so I hope it's OK.Lucky is the story of Lucky (Sneha Ullal), a quiet schoolgirl living in Russia. While going to school one day, she wishes with all her heart that school is stopped for the day. In a twist, her wish is fulfilled but in such a way that she never thought of. A battle between rebels break out and Lucky is caught between them. She meets Aditya (Salman Khan) who tries to help her come home. Because, they have to avoid the rebels and face the bitter cold and yet go home safely, there is "No Time For Love".Sneha Ullal is fantastic, stupendous, and tremendous. She really made an impact on me and I really wanted to see her. Her acting, mannerisms, dialogues and above all, voice was as cute and sweet as anything. Excelling in the role of a shy, innocent girl, she is the new girl of Bollywood.Salman Khan does a good performance but does nothing spectacular. His expressions are good however and he still has a lot left in him.Mithun Chakrobarty acts wonderfully but his character is not really right. He shouldn't have been made a intelligence officer at all.The songs rock. Each and every song sounds melodious. My favourite is "Lucky Lips". The other songs are good as well.All in all, Lucky is a good time pass movie. Watch it only to see Sneha Ullal, if not anybody else. 7/10

I thought the movie was unpretentious , cute and enjoyable!! It didn't want to be a masterpiece and I'm OK with that. Salman acted quiet well and has good comic timing, moreover, he looks better with age! A thespian he isn't but is pretty tolerable in movies like this .Sneha was really cute and has that special something about her on screen, her acting was not much to write home about, but then her character didn't require much acting either . She has screen presence, evident even in a movie like this, and more so than I expected from the promos. Mithun- he was funny @ times( when parodying old Hindi film dialogs), although he was OTT too!The songs were VERY well picturised, the romantic moments between the lead pair were well done with requisite amounts of angst and didn't leave one with an uneasy feeling at all ( despite the age gap). They had good chemistry together on screen . The cinematography was awesome, the screenplay was OK in parts. There was suspension of disbelief involved but a good movie( like this one) should make the viewers WANT to suspend disbelief rather than make them irritated. The movie was well directed on the whole .All in all, a nice 2 hours 17 minutes at the cinema..

Gang,I went to see this movie in Columbus, OH with my good friend, Ankur who is a huge Sallu-fan, with a boat-load of expectations. So did the film match up to our expectations ? Yes & No... mostly yes.. Read on..The movie is definitely a ground-making event in Indian cinema. Check out the breath-taking locales, the gasp-inducing grand palaces, the beautiful costumes, the heart rending scene with the poisoned Sneha & a distraught Salman, the jam-packed Soviet-era steam engine train shot, hell even the graveyard looks stunning in this movie!The visuals are just fantastic, the music is super-cool, Sneha looks good and finally Salman looks dapper & acts great too . The movie only reaffirms the superstar status of Salman. He has taken a risk with this movie by playing his age but it pays & how! Your heart will follow Lucky through the tumultuous times she goes through in the movie. The Sun Zara song with its melodious music in the background and the haunting visual of a funeral procession scene has left a permanent imprint in my memory. Both me & Ankur agreed that a strong climax, maybe with apna Sallu giving up his life saving his much younger love, would have raised the movie to a whole new level and probably given it cult status like Tere Naam.Sneha is better than Ash in many areas, given a chance she can out-do Ash at acting. Thumbs up to Sallu for discovering such an enormous talent for Bollywood.The only sorry points in this otherwise great movie are Mithun-da & the weak climax. Still Definitely worth watching a couple of times.Go for it guys!Highly Recommended **********
