Farhaan BY Chance .
Well, The title itself suggests that the Movie is all about Farhaan Akhtar’s brilliance, be it in the acting field or dancing around the trees. :d Farhaan has showed the world he can not only direct but dance(Hritik’s Birthday party ) and act (Luck By Chance) and Sing (Rock On). If this was not all he is rocking the television sets with his different yet convincing Hosting Style in “Oye !!! It’s Friday). He sure has the Brain of Einstein on his Head. He can surely give those who’s who of the Bollywood Stars like Bachchhans, Khans, and Roshans a run for their Money.
Story and Screenplay : Zoya Akhtar didn’t have to much of the work so far as the Script is concerned coz the content is just another Struggler’s life saga who comes to Mumbai and makes the mark. Although she impressed with the Screenplay as this was the only tool with which she could grip the audience to their seats. Every now and then the guest appearances of the Well known celebrities of the bollywood keeps the flow of the movie alive.
Direction : Zoya Akhtar has already proven her worth as an assistant director to Farhaan in lakshya and Dil Chahta Hai. Luck by Chance adds one more star in the sky of Zoya’s Potentially Long Career as a Director as Kismat Talkies is already under Production. She has brought out good performances from all the Other Actors besides Farhaan and Konkona.
Cast and Performance : Farhaan as already mentioned gives yet another Superlative and perhaps more brilliant performance after and than Rock On. Man!! This Guy is a genius. Konkona Sen Sharma as always gives the signature par excellence performance as the lead heroine in the movie. Isha Sharwani looks good as newcomer in the Movie. Rishi Kapoor and Dimple also give soul to their characters as ever. Sanjay kapoor also justifies his character. All the Other actors in guest Appearance were also to the mark. Hritik’s character was strong but he didn’t play as was expected from him.
Music : After a long time Shankar Ehsaan Loy disappoints their Fans with such a lame Music. They had fairly convenient script for their liberty to make Music but they were boringly forgettable. Sapno se Bhare Naina although is a catchy tune. Lyrics by Javed Akhtar could not do much as the Music did not back it up well. Just call the waiter and order your popcorns and go to the loo if you have during the Songs.
Technicals : Other Technicals were not outstanding and not bad also. They were Okay . Choreography in the Hritik’s Song was Pathetic. Costumes were also Yuckkk…. I cant think of any reason why people make mistake when they have such a liberty to work ?.. Producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhaan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar has saved a lot of money I must say. :d
But the performance of Farhan Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma takes the Movie to thw whole new level altogether. The Movie is not boring for sure if you watch the Movie with your brain on. ;) 3 Stars for this honest Effort.
