Dulquer Salmaan Shines in a Unique Role
Dulquer Salmaan, already a favorite for his versatile roles across South Indian cinema, brings his A-game as Bhaskar—a man torn between his family obligations and financial ambitions. Set in the bustling ’90s, Bhaskar starts as a simple bank employee whose life takes a sharp twist when he delves into the risky world of financial crimes. Salmaan’s portrayal of Bhaskar’s moral complexity—balancing honesty with ambition—is something you don’t see every day, and he brings a magnetic depth to this character.
A Refreshing Take on Financial Crime
If you’re intrigued by tales of financial scams, this film is a treat! Lucky Bhaskar dives into the banking and stock-broking world, with Bhaskar caught up in money laundering and frauds similar to real-life scams. Venky Atluri has managed to weave suspense and authenticity into the script, keeping it simple enough for the audience to follow without dumbing down the complexities of financial crime.
A Perfect Blend of Drama and Humor
While the movie explores the serious undertones of crime and greed, it doesn’t lose its humor and emotional pull. Bhaskar’s journey is also one of family ties, featuring relatable scenes with his wife Sumathi (played by Meenakshi Chaudhary) and moments that remind us of the daily struggles of a middle-class household. This contrast of crime and warmth gives the film a well-rounded vibe, keeping it engaging without leaning too hard on either element.
Nostalgic ’90s Setting
For fans who love a good period piece, Lucky Bhaskar captures the vibe of the 1990s, making the setting a character in itself. From the costumes to the background music by GV Prakash Kumar, the film brings a distinct ’90s feel that’s both nostalgic and immersive. Atluri’s team did a great job of recreating the Mumbai of that era, transporting viewers back in time without overdoing it, which makes the plot feel more genuine and relatable.
An Engaging Storyline with Twists and Turns
While Lucky Bhaskar starts as a straightforward tale, it soon twists into an intense thriller. The narrative is fast-paced and builds suspense with every scene, especially as Bhaskar’s choices lead him down darker paths. The stakes rise in the second half, delivering exciting moments that will have you at the edge of your seat, making it difficult to predict Bhaskar’s fate until the very end. This movie takes the usual crime story and gives it a fresh spin, creating an exciting viewing experience that you won’t soon forget.
