Venky Atluri’s ‘Lucky Baskhar’ has Dulquer Salmaan in top form in an entertaining drama about financial crime

This handsomely mounted film keeps surprising us. And it’s a big help that this world – this world of finance – is new and has seldom been explored on screen before.

Look at the way Dulquer Salmaan’s name is spelt in Lucky Baskhar. It is not “Bhaskar”. It’s written to rhyme with “lucky bastard”. And that’s what the protagonist is in this entertaining drama about financial crimes. He’s lucky. He gets away with a lot of misdeeds in the bank he works in, and the witty screenplay revels in tightening the noose before releasing it. We keep thinking “This is it… This time, Baskhar’s luck has run out… he is going to get caught…” And then, we are taken back in time to see what Baskhar did to plot his escape. Does he finally get caught? That, I cannot tell. But the film is a pleasurable instance of a fresh story being told in an interesting way, with the help of a charismatic star in top form.
