I had watched small portions of Luck By Chance but last night I watched the film from start to finish and I can't believe the critics went cray over this film. It is beyond overrated.
This was Zoya's first directional film, keeping that in mind she did a great job and proved she is a promising director. But I just do not get why critics were going ga ga and trying to prove to everyone that is the best film or one of the best films ever made in indian cinema.

I really liked the theme, a few dialogues were good, but the story and screenplay was very disappointing and way too dragged. I wish the film focused on Farhan and Konkona's lives, but Zoya got too carried away with cameos of a-listers and those cameos ruined it for me.

Farhan is a horrible actor, he was so so cringeworthy in the role. It was a good character but he lacked the depth in acting and was not expressive at all. His dialogue delivery was so bad.

Konkona was the saving grace, what a talented actress, she is so natural without a doubt the best thing about the film is Konkona.

Also the Farhan-Isha part was way too dragged.

I think it is time for Zoya to move away from Farhan, having him in every single film no matter wether he suits the role or can give the performance required.

The ending was very good, I am so glad they didn't pick cliche ending.

Konkona was perfection, she needs to be given more films.

However I didn't like Farhan's performance at all, he was so bad, bad casting.

The film started very interesting then it got boring only in end it got exciting again, story and screenplay could have been better.

"kidding" thank you or else I would have given a long essay 😆

Hrithik oh my god...the amount of overreaction he was doing😕 and that can't be called a cameo, he basically had a supporting role in the film.

How awful was KJO's cameo and why exactly was Kareena in the film if she just had to say hello and go, it was just for star power. Zoya didn't use the star cameos in the right way, she could have used them to take the story forward. Except for SRK's cameo all the other cameos were useless especially Aamir's.

Btw, HR and Kareena were the original choice to play Farhan and Koko's role and the the film was titled Kismat Talkies. However both HR and Bebo became big stars by then and wouldn't look the part also both had issues at that time to work together. Zoya had to wait a lot to finally make this film, Farhan was decent, Koko was awesome as always.

Yeah Farhan is alway Zoya's stand-by choice ! first offer it to everyone who suits the role and once they refuse then she goes to only choice left Farhan, mehhh, he has been part of all 3 of her films now, time to make a film without him !!!
