The story is about two characters. On one hand there is Sona (Konkona) who comes with loads of dreams to make it big in the film industry and would not hesitate to compromise to any extent to reach her goal and is a rather naïve person in a way. On the other, there is Vikram (Farhan) who lets go of a comfortable lifestyle in Delhi just to pursue his dream but then he is smart enough to know the rules of the game and also to play the right card at the right time. As expected, both Vikram and Sona chance upon each other and love blooms. All this apart, there is the famous producer Rommy Rolly (Rishi) who believes in making movies only with superstars and has his own share of sentiments. Then there is Nina (Dimple), the ravishing beauty of the yesteryears who is keen on making her daughter Nikki (Isha) the queen of today. Rolly begins a flick with Nikki and this also has Zafar Khan (Hrithik), the superstar as the hero. Things take a change when Zafar decides to pull back out of the project leaving Rolly in the lurch. It is here that Rolly decides to break his beliefs and go for a new star cast and Vikram comes into the picture. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.
Musical score by Shankar-Ehasan-Loy isn’t like their previous hit of ‘Rock On’. Only couple of songs does favors to audiences with best presentation. Background score is off mediocre and Carlos Catalan’s cinematography is top-notching with different shades and colors according to situations. Javed Akhtar’s dialogues are spellbinding. Debutant Zoya Akhtar lets us go through an interesting screenplay in the first half. However, she get stuck in moving the script in latter half. Preferably, she could’ve trimmed few portions in the second half. However, an unexpected climax erases the flawed parts from our memories.
As a whole, Luck By is a film worth watching with more enjoyable parts.
