Saw Luck By Chance recently. Was not as impressed by it as I had hoped to be. The movie starts out nicely highlighting the 'tricks' of the film trade but then becomes something between 'Life in a Metro' and 'Page 3'.
Konkona Sen, in the movie, refuses a role to prevent type-casting (where she is type-cast). But in real life she has been unable to avoid it. In so many movies we find her going for guys who are either gay or unfaithful or both (see 'Page 3'). Same goes for Luck By Chance.
Dimple Kapadia, Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla have given excellent performances as expected. Hritik Roshan, according to me, is the hero of the movie. He has acted well and I especially like the scene where he puts his face against the window of his car and some street-kids put their face against the same window from the other side. The only thing separating them is a thin pane of glass. It shows that life on the two sides of the glass is very different!
I think it mirrors the relationship between actors and their audience where the glass is the movie screen. Life behind the screen and in front of it is often very different and the view we get can often be distorted.
Go watch this movie, it is different. I am sure you already have seen it!
