Movie Review

Balaji Venugopal’s “Lucky Man” has an idea that could be a light-hearted version of “Ayyapanum Koshiyum.” The first half sets up a good foundation with moments building tension between characters, but the second half does not make the most of it.

Sean Roldan’s background music fits the movie nicely, but the songs aren’t used much because the writing is average. Yogi Babu and Veera suit their roles well and perform admirably. The family scenes with Rachal Rebecca and Yogi Babu’s son are pleasant. The technical aspects, like editing and cinematography, contribute well to the film.

Yogi Babu is portrayed as an unlucky guy teased for his bad luck. Even though he faced financial difficulties, winning a car in a lucky draw completely changed his situation. The car makes positive changes, but he strongly starts to believe in the luck of the car, he loves it more than his wife does.

He thinks that the car is the best thing that has come in his life, but his wife thinks the other way. Problems start when he meets a policeman, leading to conflicts. In the middle of all this, someone steals his car.

Lucky Man starts well, but as it goes on, it loses its direction and some scenes don’t support the main idea. While Veera and Yogi Babu’s scenes are written decently, they don’t convey emotions effectively. For example, Yogi Babu’s urgency to retrieve the car isn’t portrayed strongly. Additionally, certain parts in the second half become confusing and seem unrealistic for a movie that began in a more grounded manner.

At one point, Yogi Babu is shown stealing a dog for revenge. Even though the director tries to explain it with various connections at the end, we don’t feel anything because the emotions seem empty.

Sean Roldan’s background music fits the movie nicely, but the songs aren’t used much because the writing is average. Yogi Babu and Veera suit their roles well and perform admirably. The family scenes with Rachal Rebecca and Yogi Babu’s son are pleasant. The technical aspects, like editing and cinematography, contribute well to the film.

Overall, “Lucky Man” doesn’t manage to win our hearts completely, even though it has a good story.
