Ironically Luck by Chance - At 'The New India'
By Frank Ravtiz
It's a common story when it comes to an individual struggling to make it be a star in the film industry. A similar line drawn here except the movie is based on this concept. The hero hails from the capital with hopes, dreams and aspirations to become a star in the famous film producing industry in India, 'Bollywood'. It is not easy as it seems as it's not just a small industry where a new comer's presence is never noticed, acknowledged is far from this.
The guy meets his other counterparts running the race with him to the goal of getting a lead role in the films. And hence the meeting with the heroine who has struggled much before him and is still not made it to the finish line. They say that 'its all matter of luck in the famous 'Bollywood''. Well in the yesteryear this phrase would have been true. But not anymore with so many budding talented artists fighting the battle to get into the movies even for a small role as a starter if not the main cast. For the present times its more of hard work, dedication, commitment, talent and loads of other factors, not to forget the charisma and the power to get the audience to love you. To add to all the requirements one also has the existing legends who have their positions almost fixed and ruling the films. Similarly our hero also faces the struggles.
With the exit of a superstar from big project game our hero a big break into the films, which one can call it coincidence or the shine of the face of the luck fairy, thus racing past the heroine. Now there need compromises to be made in order to keep the new found fame. However the story takes an abrupt climax turning the focus to the girl. The story culminates on a pragmatic note, though it evades such treatment through its run by not getting hard-hitting heavy or regressively realistic.
Almost every character in the film has grey shades though not glorified to extreme extents. The movie reveals the double standards of industry people though not showing them in an outright negative light.
