Lucky Bhaskar gave Dulquer Salmaan a much-needed box office success in 2024 after its release. The film served as a fitting response to trolls who mocked him following the failure of his 2023 Malayalam action thriller, King of Kotha.

Even after its release on Netflix, Lucky Bhaskar continued to trend on BookMyShow for several days. At the box office, the film grossed an impressive ₹115.05 crore, a remarkable feat considering Telugu is not Dulquer Salmaan’s home market.

Since day one, the film has also been a major success in streaming. According to CineJosh, it debuted at #1 in over 15 countries during its first week on Netflix’s Top 10 list—an almost unbelievable achievement. In its second week, it secured the #2 spot globally, with a staggering 17.8 billion minutes viewed.

What’s Good: Nearly everything came together in this film: the early ’90s period setting, the background score, and Dulquer Salmaan‘s outstanding performance all worked perfectly.

What’s Bad: The first song feels unnecessary and disrupts the film’s flow. By this point, the characters and their lives have already been well established, and the song reiterates what we already know, adding little value to the narrative.

Loo Break: Feel free to take a short break during the song mentioned above, but I suggest not taking any breaks except during the interval.

Watch or Not?: This film is highly recommended, but whether it warrants a theatrical visit is up to you. The film is a solid entertainer, particularly for family audiences,...

Film: "Biriyani"; Cast: Karthi, Premgi Amaren, Hansika Motwani, Naseer, Sampath Raj, Jayaprakash, Uma Riyaz Khan, Subbu Panchu, Mandy Takhar, Ramki and Vijayalakshmi; Director: Venkat Prabhu; Rating: **1/2

A sumptuous Biriyani may not always be filling because at times it's too starchy to be digested. This is applicable to Venkat Prabhu's "Biriyani", which despite being fairly satisfying is not excellent because it gets too starchy due to unwanted ingredients. While the use of situational comedy works to some extent but what we see in some scenes is not humorous but downright awful and the double entendres directed at women are uncalled for.

I liked the previous works of the director because they didn't make you cringe.
