PodBill Just what I expected

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

runamokprods Charming well made Indian comedy/drama based on the real life adventures of a charming, wildly successful thief. This owes more than a little debt to Scorsese, "Goodfellas" especially, crossing the line from homage to rip-off at moments. Meanwhile, it lacks Scorsese's eye for deeper pain and moral complexities. None-the-less, this is well filmed, well acted, and ultimately kind of moving, while revealing something of the Indian middle class to those of us half a world away. But at times the broadness of the comedy just feels like its from a different film, and that takes away from the effectiveness. Very catchy score, and the last 5 minutes helps pull it all together and gives the film something more.

namashi_1 Banerjee's 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye' is easily one the best attempts from 2008. The film has a unique concept, does the concept work? Yes, hell yeah. The film is entertaining and intelligent. Very well written and very well directed, coupled with first-rate performances and classy camera-work. Though the film flopped at the box office, yet it has earned a cult following ever-since its DVD release. Watch this one, because its the best flick you'll see in months at least. Superb film! Performance Wise: Abhay Deol shines as Lucky. He plays the part with gusto. Paresh Rawal is fantastic in triple roles. He's excellent as the Punjabi, fantastic as the don and simply outstanding as the doctor. He's a legend and rightly so. Neetu Chandra is good. Archana Puran Singh is mind-blowing. She can never be doubted, she's an amazing actress. The actor who plays Abhay's friend is natural. The girl who plays Neetu's sister is adorable.On the whole 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye' is as catchy as its title. A Winner all the way! Go for it!

long-ford This is Dibakar Banerjee's follow up to 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', and he doesn't disappoint this time either. The film is a lot of fun with Abhay Deol excelling in the title role of thief Lucky Singh. He has no qualms and is willing to steal just about anything that's available. Abhay brings a certain likability which makes it easy for the audience to sympathize with a clearly amoral character. The dialog sounds remarkably authentic and the film is very effective at exposing class differences. Paresh Rawal has three roles but doesn't do justice to all of them. The film is a tad overlong and Abhay's romantic life isn't particularly well developed. Recommended.Overall 7/10

parvatik I went to watch this movie with lot of expectations, after all this actor did "Ek chalis ke last local". However this movie disappoints,its a plain movie with nothing special about it except that PareshRawal plays 3 characters. Everyone has acted very well, just the storyline is not powerful enough to capture the audience's attention. No big budget actors and no masala in the film. Its just smooth flowing with no twists or turns. Its a story of a boy who grows to be a robber and has a charismatic persona and robs people in broad daylight. He gets caught and gives the police a slip 3 times before being caught(In the end a narrator tells us this). Don't know why they made this movie?? I would recommend to give it a miss.
