Luck by Chance
Adlabs Films
MPAA RATING: Not Rated
Starring
Farhan Akhtar,
Hrithik Roshan,
Konkona SenSharma,
and
Rishi Kapoor
A starlet and a struggler meet while trying to navigate through the Hindi Film Industry and end up changing each other’s lives forever. Lucky by Chance is a slice of film industry life, in which self advancement is the sole motivator. Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny may underline every decision but it’s the gigantic egos, the grand desires and the small opportunities that converge to form strange patterns. Patterns that we call kismet. (Excel Movies)

The New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
It is Mr. Akhtar whose understated performance holds together this far-ranging, cameo-filled film.

New York Post
Kyle Smith
Bursting with the usual colorful pop music numbers and lighter-than-a-soap-bubble quandaries, the film is a typical Bollywood entry, not likely to win over many new converts
