The much anticipated, the much hyped 'Lucky' has been released and moreover it meets the expectations...

Lucky is a romantic tale in dire circumstances between two unlikely protagonists. The story is set in St. Petersburgh in Russia, Lucky ( Sneha Ullal) a school girl is on her way to school. She is praying to her guardian angel that the school shuts down, so that she can skip her test scheduled that day.

Her prayers turns out to be true but for the wrong reasons. She skips her test alright, but embarks on a nightmare, a desperate journey for survival. Quite unexpectedly she gets right in the middle of a revolt that breaks out suddenly and it becomes a ride for safety. As fear overtakes the naive, young girl she runs into a stranger. Aditya ( Salman Khan) a native Indian, is a cool guy unperturbed by the happenings around them and they travel together towards safety. 

They journey together through the icy wildnerness of Russia.. through burning highways, abandoned theatres, old Cemeteries, escaping ambushes. Their escapade binds these strangers together. In the middle, they get captured by terrorists. When even Aditya runs out of ideas to save them, a Colonel , One Mr. Pindidas Kapoor (Mithun Chakraborthy) comes to their rescue...

The Debutant directors deserve credit for the overall international feel of the film. Technically the film is superb, with good action, beautiful Cinematography and music. Although the film has some flaws on the writing aspect and the dialogues at times, overall look and feel makes up for that. The dialogues in Russian could have been avoided or at least given subtitles. Though the pace slackens in the middle, it picks up post interval and ends in an apt climax. Songs by Adnan Swami is soothing combined with the breathtaking locales of Russia pictured by Sudeep Chatterjee.

Performances of the lead pair are noteworthy. Sneha Ullal and Salman Khan complement each other very well. Sneha looks her part as the innocent, sweet school girl and she looks like Aishwarya at times. Khan as always performs the emotional aspects with elan. Mithun Chakraborthy looks foolish as the intelligence officer. The rest of the cast is ok.

Overall despite the flaws, the film is worth watching for the fresh pairing, beautiful locales, music and good action. ..
