Alright, the Bollywood lovers!Now the season of awaited films or big-budget releases has started.Yes!These summers, the most awited films in your list are going to release and this flow of releases has started with ’’Lucky-No Time For Love’’.This one is (one of) the most hyped film of the season.Its music by Adnan Sami has become the biggest success amongst Hindi Films music.Salman Khan`s presence in this film has again excited a lot of viewers and above all the presence of an Aishwarya Rai look alike, Sneha Ullal has created lots of news which will directly result into more hype for the movie.So now, after such a long wait and so many hype, the film has finally released.So to know all about the movie, keep reading...


Sohail Khan Productions.’’Lucky-No Time For Love’’, directed by Radhika Rao & Vinay Sapru, stars Salman Khan, Sneha Ullal, Mithun Chakraborty, Vikram Gokhale and Kader Khan.After so many flops, the Bollywood industry is going through a crisis and ’’Lucky’’ is one such film from which Bollywood is expecting a hit.Will this movie bring an end to the crisis, Bollywood is going through?


’’Lucky-No Time For Love’’ is a film set in Russia.It tells us the story of a seventeen year old, school-going, girl Lucky (Sneha Ullal) who lives, in Russia.She is a very innocent girl, unlike other teen-agers and has a very positive approach towards life.She is beautiful, she is intelligent and she is also a very nice person.Going to study at St.Petersburg, having some fun time with her friends and enjoying in the romantic weather of Russia-this is Lucky`s life, but soon her life changes.It happens so, that one day she has an exam, for which she prays a lot and due to which she is also very nervous.The nervous Lucky, is as usual, going to her school, St.Petersburg, but what happens is that she gets attacked by a man who tries to rape her.In order to save herself, she gets into the car of a stranger, called Aditya (Salman Khan).Everything starts looking like a nightmare to her, but Aditya comes like an angel in her life.Aditya is a guy in his mid-30s from India, who has come to visit Russia.He meets Lucky on that day and gets attracted to her innocence.Both Aditya and Lucky find out that volent riots have broken out in Russia, and danger has surrounded them everywhere, and at every step.So Aditya protects Lucky and takes it as his responsibility to help her and to take her back to her home, safely and securely, after which he himself will leave this place.Now starts a mission of escaping from the violent riots which have broken out.Now, the rough times take place, in which both of them have to be very sharp and alert, as both of them are in a deadly trap and now starts the time when both of them start coming closer to each other.Aditya falls in love with Lucky`s innocence and inner beauty, where as Lucky falls in love with Aditya`s honesty.They spend some difficult times together and they also spend some beautiful times together, but after some point of time, things start getting worse and in such a crucial phase, Colonel Pindidas Kapoor (Mithun Chakraborty), a very interesting personality, who has been appointed by Lucky`s and Aditya`s fathers, helps them both to escape from such violent riots, but will they be able to save their lives and reach home safely?If Lucky will go back to her home, then what about their love story?


Salman Khan is just about okay as Aditya.In the first half, he acts very artificially and seems very irritating.In the second half, he gets tolerable, at least, because the second half is a lot more serious than the first half, but the actor hasn`t given such a breakthrough performance here, as much as it was expected.He was better in films like ’’Tere Naam’’ or ’’Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’’.


Sneha Ullal is very pretty and she definitely looks like Aishwariya Rai but this thing is also true that in the acting department she is very weak.She needs lots of improvement in her performance, because she looks completely lost and throughout the film has a very dead kind of an expression on her face.She also needs to improve upon her dialogue delivery.


Mithun Chakraborty has nothing to do, at all and he seems rather irritating.If he would get such insignificant roles in A-grade movies, then it`s better for him to stick to all those C-grade movies, he was doing.


Kader Khan has been terribly wasted and I feel that he deserves better roles after such a wonderful performance in ’’Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’’.


Vikram Gokhale and others have nothing much to do.


Radhika Rao & Vinay Sapru`s direction is just fine.In the first half, the film moves at a very slow and a boring pace and it takes a very long time for the story to develop.There is nothing so special in the first half, to write about, except for the scene where Lucky and Aditya meet for the first time, is a good one.The film gets better in the second half as there are some nail-biting sequences in it.Like, those scenes, in which Aditya and Lucky run for their lives, or the scene, where both of them get separated for a while.Such scenes will be able to keep you hooked onto the screen.Screenplay is not so well planned and well developed.First of all, you fail to understand why does Aditya who has got nothing to do with Lucky, decides to help her get to her home?Secondly, the whole film starts looking as if it is going haywire and you feel that there is a lack of gripping moments, but in the second half, there are some good scenes.On one thing, I would like to appreciate the screenplay writers that they have shown the romance between Lucky and Aditya, nicely and the feelings of both these characters for each other are also well justified.Editing could have been better because the film drags a lot at certain places and you start getting bored.The first half needs to be trimmed by 10 minutes and the second half should also have not been so long because the escape scenes, start looking monotonous.Cinematography is brilliant.A 5 out of 5 on that!Russia has been captured very beautifully on the celluloid, and thanks to the wonderful cinematography that the viewers will remain hooked onto the screen due to that.Dialogues are filmi at times, while at other times they are quite well written.
