Come to think of it, Bollywood hasn't churned out stylised action movies as regularly as it churns out comedies and rom-coms. There's a vacuum for sure. But 'Luck' fills that lacuna. Be rest assured, you haven't watched such thrills since 'Dhoom 2'.
'Luck' is more of a hi-concept film. Three decades ago, Krishna Shah's 'Shalimar' narrated the adventures of a billionaire who assembles/invites criminals/gangsters from across the globe to perform the heist of a precious diamond that he possesses. The concept isn't similar here, but in this case too, a gambler assembles people from across the globe for a concept called human betting.
'Luck' may not be high on story, but the concept and at least four stylised thrilling sequences make a big difference.
'Luck' may have loads of thrills, but director Soham Shah ensures that the grand canvas and stylised thrills appeal to every strata of movie-going audience. Only thing, had screenplay writers Soham Shah and Rensil D'Silva worked doubly hard to come up with a watertight script, it would've only worked wonders.
