Lucky: No Time for Love (2005)

LUCKY NO TIME FOR LOVE is a decent romantic film, about a 40 Salman(perhaps he is younger in the film) and a school kid, no this is not about a padeophilie nor the film goes the NISHABD, CHEENI KUM way yet the romantic moments are well handled The first half gets boring with continious chater between Salman and Sneha Ullal, the second half gets better but the pace gets slow But the scenes when Salman and Sneha gets caught by terrorists till the end are well handled, but the culmination is clichéd. Also how does Mithun reach at the right time every time remains a mysteryDirection is decent Music is nice, Jaan meri, Shahyed Yehi and other songs are melidiousSalman Khan repeats his act initially and does overact at times but does superb in emotional scenes, Sneha Ullal is okay in her debut Mithun's role seems add on but he is okay, Vikram Gokhale and others are okay

Songs are quite impressive, movie sequence is good especially liked the way street war/fight shown. Gun shooting sound looks realistic. There is violence in this movie but tolerable. Salman's acting is as usual like a kid, but no overacting hence not boring. Sneha looks like carbon copy of Aishwarya Rai. She looks beautiful but as per her roll she remains like a school girl. Mithun acted quite well but he looks more of joker than intelligence officer. Only thing I disliked is the conversation in Rassian language, at least they should have put subtitles in the movie. Since there are no subtitles, couldn't understood the situations well. Anyway overall movie is quite good and songs too. In songs Adnan Sami has continued his regular tuning and stretched emotions in songs. But "Chori Chori" songs change mood, Sonu Nigam and Alaka Yagnik sung these songs very well. Hope to see Sneha in future movies with much more better appearance.

What an incredibly dumb 2nd half. I actually thought this movie wouldn't be too bad after the initial 40-45 minutes(which is rather entertaining)......but after Salman and Sneha spend their 1st night together.......Lucky goes straight into the gutter. Just a real snore-fest. I don't know Y they couldn't keep it a light-hearted entertainer that focused on Adi-Lucky's relationship. They had to turn it into some sort of a national crisis and a lot of the scenes had me cracking up. Talk abt being un-intentionally hilarious.On to the stars, Salman was quite OTT in the 1st half, but at least he kept me entertained. The movie sadly had to take a more serious turn post intermission, and Salman's just too limited an actor for me to take him seriously in emotional dramas.Sneha knows how to make the right expressions, but it all falls apart once she has to open her mouth. She's neither a great looker and has weird eyes. Does have a great ass though.Mithun seemed like a cartoon character. Childish crap.Nobody else was noteworthy.Overall, nice start.....but it all goes south after the 1st hour. No surprise its BO fairing had a similar pattern. Nice start, but collapsed from there on to barely get Average status.

Plot Outline: Schoolgirl Lucky (Sneha Ullal) and Indian Ambassador in Russia's son Aditya (Salman Khan) meet by accident in what turns out to be one of the most risky days of their lives as they battle insurgency in finding their way back home to safety.Comment: The Russian locales such as the buildings in St. Petersburg, the graveyard, the train and snow make the movie look like a fairy tale. The story is predictable and the twists get funny at times. When I first saw the promos with Sallu carrying a lifeless and expressionless Sneha and the sub-title "No time for love", I thought that that the movie is love story with a terminally ill girl. Thankfully, this is not the story anyways.Salman acts his age and looks decent. Newcomer and much publicized Ash-look-alike Sneha looks sweet but devoid of life. Hope Sneha's next movie will put some life in her. Mithun Chakraborthy is a sad bondage to the movie. Adnan Sami's music is fresh and 'Lucky Lips' is a must for your mp3 player.Rating: 2/5 – Watch out for newcomer Sneha and Adnan's music.
