“Lucky Baskhar”
– Review
Dulquer Salmaan is a bank employee who is denied a promotion despite his dedication to the job.
One day, a frustrated Dulquer robs money from his bank and invests in criminal activities.
This brings him immense wealth, and Dulquer becomes increasingly greedy.
Eventually, he encounters Harsha Mehra, a Big Bull in the stock market, joins forces with his team, and amasses crores.
This involvement leads him into serious trouble with the CBI and strains his relationship with his wife (Meenakshi Chaudhary).
The rest of the story follows how Dulquer attempts to clear his name in a vicious scam involving powerful individuals.
Director Venky Atluri has done a great job with Lucky Baskhar. Be it his writing or narration, everything is spot on.
Venky does not bore the audience, and though he chooses a banking backdrop, share market, and Hawala scams, he narrates the film in a way that any common man can understand the narrative. His hold on emotions is very strong and makes ‘Lucky Baskhar’ an engaging watch.
Dulquer superbly plays the role of Baskhar. His look, body language, and the heroic moments he showcases in the film are just amazing.
Dulquer does not go overboard and looks charming while he gambles with his work and earns big money. You travel through his character, and this makes things quite engaging.
Meenakshi Chaudhary is superb as Dulquer’s wife and looks stunning in the film. Sai Kumar, Sachin Khedekar, and others perform well in their supporting roles.
Music by GV Prakash is superb, as all the songs have been superbly incorporated into the narrative.
Rating: 3.8/5
