    Luck By Chance – A Tautology
    Francis Voltaire has this famous quote to his credit: Chance is a word devoid of sense, nothing can exist without a cause. I too believe in it, quite strongly. In fact, the tautology has driven me to write this post. The title of the movie is a tautology and so is the content. Zoya Akhtar has used the word Luck as well as By Chance, both meaning almost the same. Zoya,...

    Luck by Chance: Someone has Made Good Use of it!
    The moment that best explains the core of Luck by Chance comes from the Karan Johar character (played by Karan Johar!) – explaining how first timers get to have a go at a career and life in Bollywood. He counsels how when established stars-actors like Zafar (Hrithik Roshan) refuse a role they think goes against their popular ‘image’, the role travels...

    Luck By Chance: Moments and reactions
    I avoid writing about films which every other person is writing about and voicing the same opinion as mine but what the heck! its been a one long long time since I saw a film like this. A film that I liked from first frame to the last. I think the last hindi movie that I liked was OLLO and before that? I don’t remember! Certainly nothing last year. I am not doing...

    Proposal of the month _ KOKO Marry me OR Recco of the Month_ Luck By Chance!!!
    I am gonna keep this concise and precise. I have no ‘ichcha’ to spoil your fun and as Anurag and Vasan before me, I too will give you a juSHT a reaction rather than a ‘review’. (come to think of it i dont do ‘reviews’) About 2 months ago on a pretty cloudy day, I took a 1 hour bus ride to the outskirts of Melbourne to see Excel Entertainments...

    “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.”- Oprah Winfrey Opportunity, something almost a million….err no make it a zillion people comes looking for!

    Luck By Chance: Will it make Farhan the new-age cinema’s star actor?
    Hi Anurag (Kashyap). You are a scream in Luck By Chance, as the ‘institute’ pass out who is asked to write Bollywood scripts out of Hollywood DVDs. But no, I cannot agree with your assessment elsewhere on passionforcinema that Zoya Akhtar’s is probably the best-ever debut venture you have ever seen, even better than her brother Farhan Akhtar’s Dil...

    Not just – Luck By Chance
    While the rest of the world and its kuzin have been busy going gaga about the emosanal atyachar inflikted by masakkali matakkali, one film that has held me dumbstruck is the debut venture of Zoya Akhtar – Luck By Chance (LBC). A venture that looks so real, so honest & so heart wrenching. A stark kontrast to OSO… what Farah Khan did with her spoof, this...
