My Take on Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!



Fantastic movie for a Sunday afternoon, good 2 & half hours spent after a heavy brunch.

Cast: Abhay Deol (this guy is improving), Archana Puran Singh (as witty) & Paresh Rawal (true actor) & others - don't know their names but m sure they would definitely shine after OLLO!

Starts off really well from a sardar family living in one of those crowded bylanes of Delhi. Lucky is from this typical lower middle class family: wanting to impress a girl, would flick money from dad'd kurta, lead his gang of friends to mischievous acts etc... naughty & nasty but smart - street smart.
He is an aspiring individual who loves the good things in life and is inspired by the lifestyles of the rich and affluent Delhi families, flicks anything he gets his hands on.
The end - i think is the weakest part of the film, could have been better but since its based on a true story i guess the director did not have much of a choice.

Abhay Deol impresses with his performance yet again, Paresh Rawal is brilliant.
Music is catchy - specially the punjabi rap that keeps playing in the background, it's really nice - got to hear that once at least.

All in all it's worth the money - If you liked Johnny Gaddar u'll like this one too.
Let me know what you feel about the movie - wanna know if our tastes match!

i saw the movie last week sometime...nice one..i thot again the screenplay could have been better, i mean that's some thing thats been missing in the low budget films in my opinion..but yeah the jugni rap song was very catchy... also i hadn seen abhay deol earlier and i thot he can make a name (he has half of it olready)fr himself if he chooses roles smartly...

i saw maharathi yesterday..its got some good performances as well..
