Dotbankey A lot of fun.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
DreamyGirl247 I must confess that from the very instant I heard of this film I really truly wanted to see it very much. However once I actually got my hands on a copy of this film, I was sadly quite disappointed.First of all I had heard a lot about the fresh-faced young Sneha Ullal and how much she resembled the reigning Queen of Bollywood, the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai, and so I was quite anxious to watch her for the first time. First of all Sneha Ullal is supposed to be around seventeen or eighteen when she made this film and her character Lucky is supposed to be seventeen years old, however Sneha looks like a thirteen year old. Secondly whenever a new fresh face is introduced into any film industry, the expectations are relatively high. Sadly Sneha Ullal did not meet these expectations. Instead of getting the audience interested in her, she quite frankly bores her audience out of their skulls. She fails to make any kind of impact in her role as Lucky and her debut performance could be summed up as utterly, dull, wooden, dead, lifeless, emotionless, weak, awkward and forgettable not to mention ineffective. She constantly looks bored out of her mind herself from the very beginning of the film right till the very end, as if she were being forced to be there on the set of the film. There is no passion, no life, no emotion or feeling whatsoever behind her "acting." Sneha would also do quite well to take some major acting lessons and classes before she even attempts to take on another role. Her performance or lack thereof was simply tedious, and did not do anything for me whatsoever. She looks out of place and her inexperience and discomfort in front of the camera shows all too obviously.Coming to the topic of Salman Khan, I must say that the only saving grace of this film was Salman Khan's performance. One can tell right away that he put a lot of passion and effort and gave his all into portraying his role of Aditya! As opposed to Sneha's highly weak performance, Salman delivers, he is sexy, handsome, charming, hunky, suave, charismatic and very likable. He embodies the kind of older man who every young girl would find attractive and would fall in love with. However once again Salman didn't have much to work with due to the very poorly developed love story of the film and therefore could not use or display his full potential as an actor but still did quite excellently with what he was given to work with.Moving on to the subject matter of the love story itself, Lucky, is first and above all a love story. Or rather one should say that it is supposed to be a love story. One reason why this film failed to achieve the high expectations which it set up for itself was because of the fact that the director failed to write a captivating love story. First of all what does Lucky possess that would make a much older and much more experienced and mature man such as Adi fall instantly under her spell? Unfortunately, the answer, due to Sneha's very poor acting and lifeless demeanor, is NOTHING. Apart from acting incredibly child-like, naive and innocent, Sneha cannot do much at all. Even when acting like a cute and naive little girl, one feels that it could have been done five times more effectively. In short the heroine has absolutely nothing to peak the interest of the hero and make him fall in love with her. While it is however understandable why a young girl, Lucky's age would fall in love with Salman's character. The love story is odd, we don't get a sense of how Adi's feelings for Lucky began to emerge or deepen, but rather before we know it, they're just suddenly in love! The love happens far too quickly and the director doesn't give us any time to be able to stop and grasp that love is happening between these two individuals.Lastly coming to the concept of the terrorism in Russia. Once again, the concept of the film was quite good but the director just failed to execute the concept behind it properly. Why are these terrorists attacking the country and bombing everything in sight? What do they want? What is going on in the country? We do not really get a good sense of the answers to these questions. Therefore when Adi and Lucky are separated we cannot become intertwined and lost within their love as we would like to.That being said, the direction and the sets and locations were beautiful especially during the songs. I particularly liked the song "Sun Zara" but that was once again due to Salman Khan's very good acting and emotion. But I did not like "Lucky Lips" and that was once again due to Sneha's very boring and ridiculous performance, the heroine's number which is intended to give the spotlight on over to the film's heroine was completely wasted on Sneha. Also Lucky's friends, Padma, Sunaina and the other girl as well were also just God awful actresses as well. Did I mention that none of the Russian spoken in the film is subtitled?! That was poorly done and quite ridiculous. I despised every time that the actors spoke in Russian because we were completely oblivious as to what the hell was going on.All in all, I was sadly very disappointed with Lucky: No Time For Love. In short Lucky is a film which was very ambitious but failed at reaching its aim. I give this film a 5/10, and that's all for Salman Khan's very good acting and the beauty of the sets. My take on this movie is, if you are a true fan of Salman Khan, then you should see it, but otherwise its not really worth your time.
ChiBron 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)......but after Salman and Sneha spend their 1st night together.......Lucky goes straight into the gutter. Just a real snore-fest. I don't know Y they couldn't keep it a light-hearted entertainer that focused on Adi-Lucky's relationship. They had to turn it into some sort of a national crisis and a lot of the scenes had me cracking up. Talk abt being un-intentionally hilarious.On to the stars, Salman was quite OTT in the 1st half, but at least he kept me entertained. The movie sadly had to take a more serious turn post intermission, and Salman's just too limited an actor for me to take him seriously in emotional dramas.Sneha knows how to make the right expressions, but it all falls apart once she has to open her mouth. She's neither a great looker and has weird eyes. Does have a great ass though.Mithun seemed like a cartoon character. Childish crap.Nobody else was noteworthy.Overall, nice start.....but it all goes south after the 1st hour. No surprise its BO fairing had a similar pattern. Nice start, but collapsed from there on to barely get Average status.
moviesaremypassion I'm amazed that so many people have liked this film. It opens with a huge disclaimer that any character bearing any resemblance to a real person is purely coincidental. Since such words are normally placed at the end of a film, it's pretty obvious that there is no coincidence at all. Sneha looks just like Aishwaria Rai, and since she can't act at all, she must have been chosen for her looks. And we all know why....Although the views of St. Petersburg are stunning, the plot is stupid and completely unbelievable. *SPOILER* In one scene, Adi (Salman Khan) asks a stranger for help. The stranger insists on payment. Adi gives him all his money, but the stranger wants more. The stranger wants the expensive sports car too, so Adi gives him the keys. Then the stranger takes Adi and Lucky (Sheha) to his father who is a doctor. No attempt is made to get the car back even though it would have been easy to do so...This film was made for young girls who fancy Salman Khan and to give them the fantasy that SK could go for a girl half his age. For anyone else, this film is a huge waste of time....
chinky1234-1 This is my first review, so I hope it's OK.Lucky is the story of Lucky (Sneha Ullal), a quiet schoolgirl living in Russia. While going to school one day, she wishes with all her heart that school is stopped for the day. In a twist, her wish is fulfilled but in such a way that she never thought of. A battle between rebels break out and Lucky is caught between them. She meets Aditya (Salman Khan) who tries to help her come home. Because, they have to avoid the rebels and face the bitter cold and yet go home safely, there is "No Time For Love".Sneha Ullal is fantastic, stupendous, and tremendous. She really made an impact on me and I really wanted to see her. Her acting, mannerisms, dialogues and above all, voice was as cute and sweet as anything. Excelling in the role of a shy, innocent girl, she is the new girl of Bollywood.Salman Khan does a good performance but does nothing spectacular. His expressions are good however and he still has a lot left in him.Mithun Chakrobarty acts wonderfully but his character is not really right. He shouldn't have been made a intelligence officer at all.The songs rock. Each and every song sounds melodious. My favourite is "Lucky Lips". The other songs are good as well.All in all, Lucky is a good time pass movie. Watch it only to see Sneha Ullal, if not anybody else. 7/10
