Lucky: No Time for Love

LUCKY NO TIME FOR LOVE is a decent romantic film, about a 40 Salman(perhaps he is younger in the film) and a school kid, no this is not about a padeophilie nor the film goes the NISHABD, CHEENI KUM way yet the romantic moments are well handled The first half gets boring with continious chater between Salman and Sneha Ullal, the second half gets better but the pace gets slow But the scenes when Salman and Sneha gets caught by terrorists till the end are well handled, but the culmination is clichéd.

I watched this movie when it first came out as a teenager and loved it: it as my fantasy come true, beautiful to look at, had an awesome musical score and starred Salman Khan which pretty much guaranteed my bias toward it!! Watching it again today I have a newfound appreciation for it as a unique film (for the industry it was made in at least) and as a good film, in fact it is now officially one of my favourites.

So I don't know how the rest of the reviewers are able to get over how damn creepy this movie comes off as. Lucky is 17 supposedly but seemingly acts like she's 12 and it's so cringe worthy to see an old guy like Salman Khan going after her...

I found it very enjoyable. Why?

Yep, this time he sinks to the most ultimate low by casting newcomer Sneha Ullal (the most legitimate dead-ringer for Aishwarya Rai in Bollywood to date) as his leading lady in this mostly sleepy drama about Indians trapped in Russia when a war breaks out. Ullal plays a 16-year-old school girl who manages to win the affection of one of her classmate's boyfriend(the boyfriend is played by Salman Khan) when she narrowly escapes the clutches of a pedophile and hides in Khan's car for safety.

I love Sneha Ullal, Watch Lucky! for Sneha Ullal.

Plot Outline: Schoolgirl Lucky (Sneha Ullal) and Indian Ambassador in Russia's son Aditya (Salman Khan) meet by accident in what turns out to be one of the most risky days of their lives as they battle insurgency in finding their way back home to safety.

'Lucky' is not a description, but the name of the female lead in the movie. So much has been written about her looks, Salman Khan's involvement in casting her and the likeness to another blue-eyed beauty from Bollywood that more than anything, it creates a curiosity in Bollywood-followers to watch the movie.

What an incredibly dumb 2nd half. I actually thought this movie wouldn't be too bad after the initial 40-45 minutes(which is rather entertaining)......
