Review of Luck by Chance (2009) by Angie M — 20 Nov 2009
It was somewhat enjoyable for its meta-film gimmicks, which are heralded by the twenty or so "special appearances" by actors, filmmakers, and other BW celebrities. However, those quickly became dull halfway through the movie, and there wasn't even a particularly original or emotionally gripping central storyline to make up for it. I was far more interested when the movie focused on the "lesser characters" - the ones who work behind the scenes (shown in the opening montage, for example), the tabloid columnist, the assistant dance director, etc., - than the types on the top rung who have been parodied before, and yet weren't shown in a particularly novel manner in this movie.
Konkona was as usual great, but Farhan does an equally swell job playing the opportunistic go-getter.
