Seems like a reality show


The only good thing about the entire movie was that I won a copy of Anees Bazmee's Welcome for being a good boy and filling a survey. You can imagine my plight that I have to become happy about winning a CD of another movie which was just as stupid, but not as retarded as Luck. Its only when the movie starts after Sanjay Dutt's awesome intro train scene, I realized that I should have left my brain at the security counter. Why you ask? Thats because your brain would be a highly dangerous object in the course of this largely predictable movie.

We've seen enough brainless action thrillers, but nothing I assure you, falls so flat on its face. Though the effort taken to introduce a story line is appreciated, the way it is approached will cause nothing less than pain and anguish of the highest order. And though Shruti Hassan's presence on screen will please you, her accentuated and robotic dialogue delivery will only make you bang your he

ad on the seat ahead of you.

Because of the weak screen play, we have an aging Sanju Baba who constantly reinforces the concept of Luck to suit the situation in the movie. Which by itself seems like a reality show in which people are legally allowed to act, but ironically don't. Imran Khan looks terribly out of place at times and it is hard to believe him when his character intends to hurt or kill. Ravi Kishan, who plays his part of...

'New York' -Could've been better

'New York' -Could've been better By N K Deoshi Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com A star-spangled film that starts off well, builds the plot nicely, but goes completely hay wire in the second half, New York is long, tiresome, but well intentioned. It opens with the distinctly unique skyline of New York, with the twin towers ominously missing. The SWAT team sweats overtime to round off a terror suspect, Omar ( Neil Nitin Mukesh ), who finds himself in the FBI net after arms and ammunition is found from the trunk of a car owned by him. FBI agent Roshan ( Irrfan Khan ) grills Omar and wrings out all info about Sam ( John Abraham ), Omar’s friend, who the FBI agent claims, is running a sleeper terrorist cell that could strike America anytime. As Omar narrates the story of his friendship and unrequited love with Sam and Maya ( KatrinaKaif ) we are flashbacked to the year 1999 and on to the campus of New York State University where the three friends (studying god knows what!)...

What I liked about the movie

LUCK may have loads of thrills, but director Soham Shah ensures that the grand canvas and stylised thrills appeal to every strata of movie-going audience. Only thing, had screenplay writers Soham Shah and Rensil D'Silva worked doubly hard to come up with a watertight script, it would've only worked wonders. What I liked about the movie: Sanju is perfect for this part and enacts it with natural ease. Actually, here's one role that only he could've portrayed so effectively. Imran is getting better with every film. Watch his helplessness at the start or his confidence when he takes to the stunts. Even towards the latter reels, he's very much in sync with his character. Shruti Haasan is a star, no two opinions on that. The confidence with which she carries off this role just cannot be overlooked. Ravi Kishan is another scene-stealer. You are under the impression that he may get lost in the crowd, but he stands tall. The masses will love him. Mithun Chakraborty is cont...
