- Lucky Baskhar directed by Venky Atluri starring Dulquer Salmaan is a brillaint and engaging ride from start to finish. Dulquer Salmaan and the score by GVP are undoubtedly the main highlights of the film. They carried the film throughout. The film is excellent from a technical standpoint and also with the performances. Dulquer Salmaan potrayed the character of Baskhar brilliantly , he made the audience connect with the character and we went on a journey with him. The score by GVP is also the other highlight elevating every scene and making it worthy for a theatre experience. The film is also good visually with the cinematography of Nimish Ravi. The film has an engaging and fast paced screenplay which enhanced the overall experience. The editing work and camera work is also great. Overall, I loved this film. I watched the malayalam dub version and I didn't have any complaints with it , it was great. I also watched it with a good crowd and there was hooting and cheering throughout the film and that is another thing I liked about the film , the mass moments were organic and not forced. Brillaint direction by Venky Atluri. Great Watch.

Lucky Baskhar
An intriguing drama brilliantly conveying how money can change the life of an Indian middle class common man.
The plot of the story revolves around Baskhar,a bank cashier on how he cleverly uses the public money in the bank and how he takes advantage of the fraudulent financial scams in the country.
Exceptional story telling by Venky Atluri through a tight bound screenplay keeping the audience hooked to the screen. The first half of the movie portrays the minor crimes in the financial sector and the latter half shows how shallow the financial scams can affect the economy.
Venky has brewed family emotions, responsibilities and burdens of a middle class salaried man brilliantly to the story and gives the viewers a better insight visually on how money can be differentiated both as a need and desire.
Hats off to Venky & team for the phenomenal casting in the movie especially the characters in the bank premises giving avenues for their performances. DQ has spectacularly played the role of Bhaskar and his character arc is evident through distinct layers across the movie. Lucky Baskhar will be marked as one of the best performances in his filmography. Impressive performances by Meenakshi Choudhary,Sachin Khedekar & Ramki.
Splendid cinematography by Nimish Ravi marks his name in the Telugu industry and accurate cuts on the editing table by Navin Nooli gives a visual delight to the audience. Good music & BGM's by G V Prakash Kumar and the brilliant setting of the Mumbai streets and the bank by Benglann is worth mentioning.
A must watch movie in theatres for an engaging and entertaining show by Venky & DQ.
Rating - 4/5.

Lucky Bhaskar is an engaging and heartwarming cinematic experience that strikes a fine balance between humor, drama, and emotion. Directed with flair and featuring a charismatic lead performance, the movie keeps you entertained from start to finish.
The story revolves around Bhaskar, a charming yet flawed underdog whose journey through unexpected twists is both relatable and inspiring. The screenplay is tight, with witty dialogues that often catch you off guard. The humor feels natural, and the emotional beats hit just the right notes without feeling overly sentimental.
The performances are stellar, particularly by the lead actor, who brings life to Bhaskar's character with impeccable comic timing and subtle emotional depth. The supporting cast is equally commendable, adding richness to the story. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, making their relationships feel authentic.
The direction deserves special mention for seamlessly blending lighthearted moments with profound themes about self-discovery, resilience, and the meaning of "luck." The cinematography captures the essence of the film's vibrant settings, while the music complements the narrative beautifully.
However, the film isn't without its flaws. A couple of plot points feel predictable, and the pacing drags slightly in the second half. But these are minor hiccups in an otherwise delightful movie.
Overall, Lucky Bhaskar is a feel-good entertainer with a meaningful core. It's a movie that will make you laugh, tug at your heartstrings, and leave you with a smile. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a mix of comedy, drama, and an uplifting story.
