For a love story to succeed the story must be able to 1) totally involve the viewer with its emotional impact 2) Have characters that the viewer identifies with from start to finish. LUCKY is a love story that gradually builds a place in your heart as the movie progresses
Scenes that leave a impression on the viewer are
- The intial comic scenes between Salman/Sneha * The first action sequence with the open fire. *Mithun Chakraborthys entry sequence * The scene where Salman lets Sneha go on the train and stays behind himself only to have Sneha come running back
Salman Khan delivers a worthy performance that is bound to win the audience over. Be it comic scenes, action scenes or romantic scene he plays his part like a seasoned performer. His comic scenes in the earlier part of the movie are a riot and no doubt Salman is a natural at comedy. Even his romantic scenes are well canned-the part he lifts Sneha after the train sequence had the female audience going ’’ga-ga’’.
The star of the show is no doubt new find Sneha! She fits into her role like a glove and looks every inch the part she plays-that of a young and extremely cute school girl! She enacts her part with confidence and looks absolutely stunning on screen! Her chemistry with Salman Khan is spot on and the two vibe very well together which works in the films favour. The resemblance to Ashwariya Rai is there bit in all honesty I found Sneha a LOT cuter! Unforgettable movie!
