Movie Review
Lucky Baskhar is a blend of con story with a strong focus on family values. The first half of the film mainly depicts Baskar’s family life in Mumbai during the 80s. Busker, played by Dulquer Salmaan, works as a cashier at Magadh Bank, hoping for a promotion that never comes. His family his wife Sumati (Meenakshi Chaudhary) and their son struggle as they cannot earn enough to support them well. Because of this, the family faces many challenges and is looked down upon by others. When things reach their lowest ebb, the busker becomes involved in money laundering, which leads him into a world of stock market tricks and banking scams.
The main theme of the film is about money and how it affects people who don’t know how to use it. Baskar wants to break free from his difficult life, like his brother Rocky in KGF, who wants to be the richest. While Rocky did it for his mother, Baskar wants to do it for his wife and son. The story focuses on how he deals with scandals and family problems.
One of the best parts of Lucky Baskhar is Dulquer Salmaan’s performance as a busker. He plays the role effortlessly, and his charm makes every scene enjoyable. If you pay attention, you can even see a slight influence of Frank Abagnale from Catch Me If You Can in the busker’s actions. Dulquer’s performance along with Atluri’s direction makes ‘Lucky Busker’ a really interesting film to watch.
