Aman The movie starts with a struggling film actress who received an indecent proposal as is known in the film world as “casting couch”. Though it has humor attached to it. Ali khan, who is playing as the producer in this episode and Konkona Sen as struggling actress have performed remarkable well. Though the scene was lengthy enough to be disliked. Yes, she is ready to do it because she wants the job badly.
This movie will give you a deep inside look into Bollywood. You can see how big, how bad this world of showbiz is. Yes it is a bad world. In this world you will find that you have been used by your friend on whom you were counting. Your friends only will abuse you. You get your lover replaced overnight. Mothers are manipulating their daughters in this industry. Well.. well this is not what I m telling you. You will get to see all this in this movie. You will see that this is the industry where you are as important as your last hit was.
You will also get to see the love that the director of this movie has for this industry in this movie itself. A comic and lovable take on the business and its people as is observed by her as an insider. Film presents a sharp observation of the grime behind the glamour, the insecurities behind the smiling faces.
Farhan Akhtar and Konkona are the wannabe actors of the movie who are ready to do everything that it is going to take to get their dreams come true. Compromise on principles to get ahead of others. And when one has achieved something, the other is not going to stay behind. This film is written by Akhtar. A very insightful and funny film.
Oh yes .. Rishi Kapoor is also there. A con film producer. He is angry because the superstar he made is not returning his calls. Very funny. Dimple Kapadia is a star mum who confesses something you would like hear while watching movie itself.
Akhtar also succeeds in keeping the mood light when necessary, packing a bagful of in-jokes, several delivered by the very characters they’re aimed at. It’s sporting of Sanjay Kapoor to play the failed actor brother of a big producer who turns his sights to direction, or Anurag Kashyap who’s cast as the writer-with-a-serious-bent bullied into plagiarizing a foreign film, or even Hrithik Roshan as the superstar heartthrob caught up in his own image.
Dint I mention………yes we are talking about “Luck By Chance”.
