Story

Sona (Konkona Sen Sharma) arrives in Bombay with her dreams of becoming a film star. Wide eyed but ambitious, she does whatever it takes, to make it. She lives on her own in a rented apartment - a luxury for most in this bustling city and spends her time with a motley crew of loyal friends whose lives are also entwined with Bollywood, each one in search of a bigger dream.

Vikram (Farhan Akhtar) has just moved to the city leaving the comforts of his parents Delhi home. He is a mover, he is used to getting what he wants and is smart enough to know when to demand it and when to manipulate it. He is young and handsome, and ful| of promise. Sona begins to enjoy Vikram's attention and affections; they develop a romantic relationship.
Rolly (Rishi Kapoor) is a successful though superstitious producer who only works with the biggest stars. He is making a potential blockbuster launching the nubile Nikki Khurana (Isha Sharwani), the 18-year-old daughter of 70's superstar, Neena (Dimple Kapadia). The hero of the film, Zaffar Khan (Hrithik Roshan), is Rolly's favorite superstar. He was launched by Rolly and went on to become a huge draw at the box office.

The wheels of fate indeed continue to spin favorably for Vikram, as elsewhere in the industry, havoc spreads on the sets of producer Rommy Rolly's new film. Vikram is called in for an audition and uses this opportunity to the fullest.

The film is about a slice of Bollywood life, in which Kismet plays a huge role. Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny underline every life, as grand desires and opportunity converge to form strange patterns.

In such an unpredictable climate is success and failure what others define for you or is it something you decide for yourself.

Luck By Chance is a contemporary tale set in a world desperate to escape its own reality.


Reviews

1. Chakpak.com by dunkdraft

Overall Rating 4 star.
I am confused. Always, always I am confused between Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy [referred in here as SEL] and A R Rehman. I don't want to compare the two, but naturally comparison ho jaati hai. Rehman gives such stupendous score in each film. While SEL gives music, which is totally involved in the film. One can not think anything but the movie itself. Like in TZP, Rock On – which we have heard recently. Tracks are so dedicated to the movie itself.


Luck By Chance, is a movie about Film Industry, aspirations of youth to join it and hopes higher then sky. To become star, a big star in this wide wide sky. So here, SEL presents a really interesting combination of tracks for the movie. While daddy dearest Javed Akhtar gave some nice words to it. After all, its Zoya Akhtar's debut as Director.

Zoya Akhtar may probably be best known because of her last name. And being a daughter of the famous Javed Akhtar and sister of Farhan Akhtar is no mean task.

Not surprisingly for the longest time Zoya has been in the shadows. She's been a casting director and a writer for quite many films but never really been in the limelight as Farhan and Javed.

It's probably a little known fact that she had co-directed Shankar Mahadevan's Breathless music video with Farhan. more..

3. Times Of India, By Nikhat Kazmi, TNN
Overall rating : 3.5 Stars

If the underbelly of Mumbai, Kolkata (read slums) has been the perennial flavour of international cinema, then the Bollywood underbelly has been the current flavour of desi cinema, with more and more filmmakers opting to lift the curtains on tinsel town. And like the slums of the neon-lit cities, here too you will find a similar sleaze and grime that fails to hide the inspirational stories of success and dream-fulfilment. Like Farha Khan, debutant director Zoya Akhtar too looks at the Davids and the Goliaths who fill the film studios of Mumbai with their sweat and dreams. But she takes a totally different vision of the strugglers, the stars and the star makers. Rather than adopting the tone of an indulgent spoof as in Om Shanti Om, Ms Akhtar gets more realistic, life-like and soft-toned. more...

Is being a good actor enough to make you a star? In Zoya Akhtar's detailed sketch of Bollywood and its colourful, conflicted denizens, the most important ingredient in a wannabe's portfolio seems to be that elusive thing called luck.

`Luck By Chance', a wonderful colloquialism which you hear only in Mumbai, opens a wide window on our dream merchants more...

5. NDTV, Anupama Chopra, Consulting Editor, Films

Mid-way through the title sequence of Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance, we see an actress dressed as an angel, in a long flowing white gown and oversized wings, walk into a toilet. That single image perfectly captures Bollywood, a space of extremes where art and commerce, the sublime and the ridiculous, 70 mm fantasies and harsh realities, head-turning fame and soul-shriveling anonymity thrust and thrive against each other.

In Luck by Chance, Zoya, a first time director but a second generation industry insider, takes us on a beguiling journey into this world. more...
