Bollywood can watch some real action in the latter half of 2009 as films like Luck and Blue are getting ready for release. These films will have some daredevil stunts that are sure to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats.

Luck is written and directed by Soham Shah with Imran Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Shruti Haasan, Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Denzongpa in the lead roles.

Bollywood is providing a mix of two separate genres of movies. Incidentally, the two might attract different class of the audience. Anyway, both are trying their luck at the box office while one of them is titled 'Luck'. The other one is 'Perfect Mismatch'. It seems that the television reality shows are entering into the big screen. The specialty of 'Luck' is that it doesn't focus on hero only but moves around several characters. The movie's director Soham Shah of the 'Kaal' fame first decided to cast Shruti, daughter of super star Kamal Hasan. She is starting her career with this movie opposite Imran Khan.

The movie begins with Mafia king pin Kareem Musa played by Sanjay Dutt challenging an eclectic group to perform stunts for his betting trade.

Mithun Chakravarthy playing Retired Major Jawar Pratap Singh needs money for his sick wife.

Acting-wise, Imran Khan performs excellently well. However, he needs to improve his expression. Shruti Hassan has tried her best as newcomer but needs time to mirror her character. She is stunningly charming but lacks in dialogue delivery.

In fact the luck of Luck will decide the luck of many. Director Soham Shah is trying for a comeback after the ill fated 'Kaal'. Hero of the film, Imran Khan is also badly in need of a hit after his 'Kidnap' bombed at the box office. Though his tough guy role in 'Kidnap' was appreciated, he needs to prove his action skills with a solid hit. For Shruti Haasan, daughter of legendary Kamal Haasan, this will be her first full length role in a film.

Luck is produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. Action sequences of the film were choreographed by Allan Amin. Salim-Sulaiman has composed the music for the film.
