Review:Luck By Chance
Ah! One movie i’d been waiting to see. Not because Zoya is directing it, hell no one knew her before the announcement of this film. I wanted to see the oh-so-talented Farhan Akhtar meet his match in the equally oh-so-talented Konkona Sen Sharma. And its no surprise that he’s done exceedingly well.

Review - Luck By Chance
I can imagine Zoya Akhtar taking notes every time she saw a person from the industry behave in a “typical” industry way. She then smoothened out the edges of these rough mental sketches, deepened them ever-so-slightly, gave them a thick outline and ta-da…script ready.

Well, no not permanently but the actor has shifted base to his farmhouse in Karjat for a brief period of time. Wonder why?

Abhishek on a weight loss spree - News
RAAVAN happens to be Abhishek Bachchan’s third movie with Mani Ratnam. And the actor seems to go that extra mile for the moviemaker every time. In both YUVA and GURU, he worked hard to achieve the perfect look for the character. Abhishek’s role in the films was quite appreciated, so we guess all that work […]
Luck By Chance: it might rise above cliches
NOT A REVIEW - just wondering if it will use spoofing “Bollywood” as an excuse to repeat stereotypes all over again…
Khoya Khoya Chand gave us an insider’s view of the Hindi film industry in the 50s-60s and Om Shanti Om did that for the 70s-80s. Now it is time for the audience to know […]
