First thing first, i had no intention of watching this movie in theatre. And i had number of reasons for that..
I hated the previous movie by the same directore “Kaal”.
I Didnt Like the promos at all.
The Music was boring.
And i particularly did not want to see some actors like Danny, Mithun Chakraborty and highly irritating ravi kissan (or kishan, whatever) on screen doing some rumbling mumbling.
Its only when we couldn’t find the show timings right for Transformers we had to settle for this one.
And half n hour into the movie i was dieng to get out of theatre. Completely inspired by host of reality shows around us these days, this movie takes the same concept to a different level playing a game based on luck (sic).
Sanjay Dutt stars as Musa, a gambling kingpin who's made a fortune in human betting. His faithful henchman Tamang (played by Danny Denzongpa) is entrusted the job of travelling the world and recruiting the luckiest people he can find to participate in a Fear Factor-style series of dangerous challenges, while loaded gamblers place bets on them.
Lured by the promise of a fat cash prize to the one who survives all challenges, a motley bunch of misfits – including Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Ravi Kissen, Shruti Haasan, Chitrashi Rawat, and a handful of your staple foreign extras from Colaba Causeway – volunteer to jump off helicopters and enter shark-infested waters.
Borrowing the premise and key scenes quite liberally from a handful of films in particular a Hollywood B-movie The Condemned, writer-director Soham Shah delivers a mangled mess of a picture that fails to engage because the characters are all stereotypes and you really couldn't care less if they lost their lives in those dangerous stunts.
To be honest, I can think of many reasons why Luck is a dumb film, and chief among them is the fact that there's more bak-bak than dishoom-dishoom, even though it pretends to be an action-adventure. What's worse, every single character in Lucks peaks alike, rattling off metaphors, using the third-person and generally dishing out the kind of filmi punchlines that went out in the eighties. The dialogues are corny, there is no script and people are forced to gamble with their lives. At times, you feel even the actors are not convinced about what they are doing on screen.
