From the get-up it seemed at first a comedy, with none other than Paresh Rawal in a triple role. But it turned out quite opposite. There was humor, but it’s dark humor. Guess it’s not ‘award material’, but its heart is certainly at the right place. To me it looked like symbolism. Lucky is the protagonist who sees the world his own way. From childhood he faces petty commonplace people like whom we come across everyday, … some hostile, some as friend, some patronizing … but the common and repelling thing about everyone of them is all are driven by their own selfish motives and try to exploit Lucky’s curcumstances. They do not have heart, and Lucky faces them with quiet desperation. And this very desperation keeps him afloat throughout.
Acting’s okay. There couldn’t have been a better Lucky than Abhay Deol. As an actor he is far better than his histrionic father or his two brash elder brothers. Needless to say, Paresh Rawal excels as usual. Other actors have been well cast, and none disappointed.
