Movie Review : Good Luck

Banner:    Om Films Pvt Ltd Cast:    Aryeman, Sayali Bhagat, Ranvir Shorey, Lucky Ali, Archana Puran Singh, Sharat Saxena, Mushtaq Khan Direction:    Aditya Datt Production:    Jagdish Sharma Well , there is actually nothing much to mention about this film which has been swinging around with its release dates . The producers even went out to have the hoardings placed upside down hoping that luck would just shine upon their flick. Well the film promises interesting names such as the likes of Aryamaan (whose launchpad ‘Family’ misfired due to Amitabh  Bachchan’s ailment), Sayalee Bhagat, Ranvir Shorey, Archana Puram Singh and Aditya Datt the man behind ‘Aashiq Banaya Apne’ spearheading the flick. Vicky[Areyamaan] wants to make it big as a singer but is cursed by bad luck and on the other hand, Saba[Sayalee Bhagat] is enjoying her good luck spree. But with a series of events Saba kisses Vicky and the good luck too gets transferred around thanks to a tarot card reader [Archana Puran Singh]. Things get miserable for Saba and now she has to get her shot at that kiss to get her luck back once again. In between come characters such as Lucky Ali (who plays a music Baron) and Ranvir Shorey( who plays a gigolo ) drop in. For a filmmaker like Aditya Datt who was quite a name with his first ‘Aashiq Banaya Apne’, he seems to be taking the graph  downwards. What a disaster of a film! Where’s the plot? A straight lift from ‘Just My Luck’ which was a dud itself. Lindsay Lohan was nominated for the worst  actress award at the Razzies, wonder whether our guys in this flick would procure a few Razzies. The movie just goes on and on with its share of poor jokes and people trying real hard to be funny. Sayalee Bhagat seriously should have chosen a better film, throughout she  just annoys. Areyamaan too fails immensely with his delivery and lacks conviction. Lucky Ali, what was he doing there? Ranvir was pushing his luck too far. Music by Anu Malik was rather hilarious than soul stirring or romantic. The choreography by Shabina Khan especially in the last track is weird. An Out and out waste of time and a real disappointment from Aditya Datt.
