**Hyderabad:** Diwali witnessed the release of several films, including “Lucky Bhaskar,” starring Dulquer Salmaan. The film, directed by Venky Atluri, marks Dulquer’s second full-fledged Telugu venture following the success of “Mahanati”.
“Lucky Bhaskar” is a captivating tale set in Mumbai, following the story of Bhaskar Kumar (Dulquer Salmaan), a middle-class bank employee struggling to make ends meet. Despite his dedication, promotions elude him, leaving him burdened by debt and family responsibilities. Determined to improve his situation, Bhaskar takes a risky gamble, leading him on a rollercoaster ride through the banking system, stock market, and the complexities of middle-class aspirations.
The film draws inspiration from the infamous Harshad Mehta scam of the 90s, weaving it into the protagonist’s journey. Dulquer’s performance shines as he portrays Bhaskar’s struggles and triumphs with conviction. The film keeps the audience on the edge of their seats with its thrilling plot, especially in the first half, which is filled with high-stakes moments.
However, the second half slows down slightly with a few intricate elements that might be difficult for some audiences to grasp. Despite this, the emotional core of the film remains strong, with Bhaskar’s transformation and the family drama unfolding against a backdrop of financial uncertainty.
“Lucky Bhaskar” stands out with its intelligent writing, impactful performances, and a captivating background score by G.V. Prakash Kumar. The film explores the intricacies of ambition, risk, and the consequences of chasing dreams. While the second half could have been more engaging, “Lucky Bhaskar” ultimately delivers a compelling tale that leaves a lasting impression.
