Luck By Chance

This movie happened by chance :) It was a boring thursday and the maid gave haath once again! I was in no mood to wash dishes and cook as well. I came up with an idea to catch a movie and have dinner outside and the Arien readily accepted. While we were going over the list of movies - we hit upon Luck By Chance by chance. (Pun unintended) . We decided to walk into the multiplex and get the tickets - we were sure that most ppl won't catch a movie on Thursday evening like us.

We reach early, jes in case, there are more ppl like us, and we are stuck behind a guy who is doing a bulk booking for his office junta. I am worried that we may not get tickets. The entire episode lasts 5 mts but I am panicky. And then we finally get our tickets. We have 25 mts to spare and for the first time - we don't know what to do with the time. (We usually walk in 5 mts before the movie starts and so this was a first). While we are loafing arnd, I see Crossword and soon I am immersed in a book on diets while the Arien found himself sm book on weight training :)

We walked out of Crossword and into the multiplex with 5 mts to spare and met a relative who was also taking a break :) Finally, the movie started.

The movie seemed more like a collection of snippets rather than a movie. If you lowed Rock On and considered it to be path-breaking, trend-setting type of movie - you may actually lowe this movie. Luck by Chance has its funny moments. It is a light movie that does not hammer a moral or message on your head.

Wah: Konkana Sen's performance; Abhi, Farhan's childhood friend, the cutie; Juhi's new figure; Dimple Kapadia as the star mom; Esha Sherwani's amazing gymnastics with the hoop and her teeny waist; Farhan's throaty voice; A natural Hrithik; Cameos by Aamir, Kareena, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Abishek, Rani, Akshay Khanna, Viveik Oberoi, Ranbir Kapoor;

Blah: The Script: Old wine in a new bottle; Hairdos: Rishi Kapoor's wig and Juhi's wig; Outfits: Hrithik Roshan's pant ya skirt outfit for the circus dance and Esha's skirt for the circus song that looked like a rip-off of the skirt that Deepika wore in Om Shanthi Om; Stuffed Toys: The Capoochi;

Verdict: I would call it diluted water melon juice. Does not leave you with a bad taste in your mouth; You can jes 'bout feel the taste of water melon on your tongue. You feel cheated as it looked pretty good but did not taste all that well - However, there is nothing you can do 'bout it.
