Luck by Chance, movie review
A starlet and a struggler meet while trying to navigate through the Hindi Film Industry - the Bollywood as most refer to, and end up changing each other's lives forever. Luck by Chance is a slice of film industry life, in which self advancement is the sole motivator. Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny may underline every decision but it is the gigantic egos, the grand desires and the small opportunities that converge to form strange patterns. Patterns that we call kismet. Or Luck by Chance. In such an unpredictable climate, is success and failure what other's define for you or is it something you decide for yourself? Luck by Chance movie review... Vikram Jaisingh is a sincere young Delhiite whose dream is to make it to the big screen in Bollywood.

Talvar, hindi movie review

And the procedural protocol that exists in the Police System. A high profile double murder case in 2008 in Noida, India where a 14-year old Aarushi Talwar was found murdered at her home.
