Lucky Baskhar

If there are massy movies in the Telugu industry, there are also movies like this one that, for a change, arrest you in your seat.

A simple cashier working at a bank starts rolling money into risky investment schemes, only to get addicted to it. How his life gets embroiled in the world of money laundering while managing his family forms the crux of the story.

Set in the 90s, the tale runs parallel to the Harshad Mehta era, which lends credibility to its fictional portrayal. The story balances emotions and financial intricacies in the right measure. What works best is that the movie is written in such a simple manner that, even without spoon-feeding, viewers can fully grasp the financial terms. With all the fraudulent acts the lead attempts to pull off, you are bound to sit on the edge of your seat with bated breath. The narrative takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, navigating the character's highs and lows.

Dulquer Salmaan completely embodies the character. This simple-looking yet layered role is made believable through his honest portrayal. For the superstar that he is and given his relatively young age, it is commendable how he adapts to playing an older man with grey hair and a young child. Meenakshi Chaudhary, despite limited screen time, provides solid support. Every small or big character plays their part brilliantly.

To recreate the 90s, the art department has done a commendable job, making the setting look authentic. The BGM and songs enhance the overall aura of the film. The climactic twist is something you won't see coming, and it works big time. Special mention must go to the costume designer for making Venky Alturi's world feel real.

This film truly deserves your time, and you can be sure that you will be thoroughly entertained. It's a movie with a strong plot, solid performances, and thrilling moments-everything you've been looking for.
