My Overall Rating 8/10.

Lucky Baskhar

An intriguing drama brilliantly conveying how money can change the life of an Indian middle class common man.

The plot of the story revolves around Baskhar,a bank cashier on how he cleverly uses the public money in the bank and how he takes advantage of the fraudulent financial scams in the country.

Exceptional story telling by Venky Atluri through a tight bound screenplay keeping the audience hooked to the screen. The first half of the movie portrays the minor crimes in the financial sector and the latter half shows how shallow the financial scams can affect the economy.

Venky has brewed family emotions, responsibilities and burdens of a middle class salaried man brilliantly to the story and gives the viewers a better insight visually on how money can be differentiated both as a need and desire.

Hats off to Venky & team for the phenomenal casting in the movie especially the characters in the bank premises giving avenues for their performances. DQ has spectacularly played the role of Bhaskar and his character arc is evident through distinct layers across the movie. Lucky Baskhar will be marked as one of the best performances in his filmography. Impressive performances by Meenakshi Choudhary,Sachin Khedekar & Ramki.

Splendid cinematography by Nimish Ravi marks his name in the Telugu industry and accurate cuts on the editing table by Navin Nooli gives a visual delight to the audience. Good music & BGM's by G V Prakash Kumar and the brilliant setting of the Mumbai streets and the bank by Benglann is worth mentioning.

A must watch movie in theatres for an engaging and entertaining show by Venky & DQ.

Rating - 4/5.

One of the best movie that is made, not only the story , acting also above expected , dq deed his role seamlessly that he can easily do , that already we seen it. Everything was up to mark that's why we as audience loved it , if you look at thrilling ness, that also perfect , we don't feel it 2 and half hour movie , movie gone like a rockect , don not miss it , its a must theatrical watch movie , if you are a movie fan , then you should watch it , if you are a dulquer fan then you will be athe top of the world experience , his charm , his t=screen presence , his dialogue delivery , in any where i thought its a malayalam dubbed movie , dubbing was perfect and up to the mark.

This is such a dope movie, amazing music, amazing performances, amazing writing. This movie is a 10/10 fully satisfied after watching. Dq is simply just toooo good what an actor man. The movie keeps you at the edge of your seats and does not make you feel bored for a single moment. Didn't even realize the movie was 3 hours while watching and only realised after seeing the runtime. The movie is perfect in all aspects and is definitely worth your money. Dont waste your time, book your tickets and go watch this movie right now in your nearest screens, do not let such a good movie flop. I guarantee you, you will not regret the movie.

The acting and story are at highest standard and the movie is worth watching any number of times. Excellent.

Bhaskar is lucky and the viewer too will learn something new from this movie, the story is revolving around how big financial frauds can happen and how they keep everyone in loop is the main crux of movie with better story telling meanwhile showing family relations and effects of being rich is worth watching. No part of the movie seems dragging and is exciting to watch till the end.

Verdict: Money + Family + Respect + Middle class life + Respect to elders advise + learn from mistakes Must watch.

The film's biggest strengths are the story and the world-building.

It's got a complicated backdrop, but they've kept it dead simple to follow. No baffling bits; the writers have done a cracking job. But, after sometime, the plot does get a bit cinematic, if you know what I mean.

The execution's well thought out, and it all comes together nicely. There's no faffing about with unnecessary comedy, romance, or fight scenes-it's all straight to the point.

Good cinematography, set design, and costumes, though the songs are a bit naff.

Dulkar in the lead role is decent, but Meenakshi, as the female lead, has a lengthy role that's not all that gripping, and her acting is a bit subpar. The rest of the cast really shines, though.

Venki Atluri's direction is alright.

It might not be a great film, but it's worth a watch in the cinema-you'll likely enjoy it!

Very Lucky Bhaskar!

The story is related to 1992 scam. Well written and adapted for a screenplay. Interesting throughout.

Dulquer delivered a splendid performance. Not a completely positive role. But a good anti hero kind of role. Meenakshi - a neat performance. Other cast were good.

Music and cinematography are neat. The set for 1990s is very beautiful.

Overall an engaging narrative till the end with many little surprises. A decent drama. A different story in mainstream cinema.

Must watch if you love different and good cinema. Many good thoughts and beautiful messages in the film. Loved it!

Clear Winner in cinemas!!!

Director Venky Atluri, after the success of Sir, returns with Lucky Baskhar, a gripping period crime drama that delves into the Bombay of a bygone era, when scams dominated the financial world. Set alongside the infamous 1992 securities fraud, the film explores how fortunes were made on the stock market by exploiting Bank Receipts. Atluri's narrative charts the journey of a man whose resolve to uplift his family propels him to extraordinary lengths.

Dulquer Salmaan, who transforms into Baskhar, delivers a performance that is simple, balanced, and profoundly effective. He pours life into the role, making Bhaskar relatable and approachable, drawing audiences into his journey with an authentic portrayal. Meenakshi Chaudhary, seen previously in a limited role in Guntur Kaaram, is seen in a more substantial role here, and she shines as Sumathi, the devoted wife and mother. Her portrayal adds depth to the film's emotional landscape. The supporting cast, which includes seasoned actors like Ramki, Sachin Khedekar, P. Sai Kumar, Tinnu Anand, and Raghu Babu, as well as younger actors like Rithvik, Maanasa Choudhary, Hyper Aadi, Srinath Maganti, and Surya Sreenivas, deliver solid performances that effectively support the main narrative.

Lucky Baskhar is an engaging film that blends elements of a middle-class revenge saga with the backdrop of the 90s stock market scandal. Dulquer Salmaan shines as Baskhar, a relatable underdog navigating the chaos of financial deceit while reflecting the struggles of everyday life. The film cleverly balances charm and drama, making complex themes accessible without losing entertainment value.

From my own experience, I found the film both enjoyable and thought-provoking, particularly appreciating how it captures the essence of resilience in the face of systemic challenges. The direction by Venky Atluri successfully combines humor with serious undertones, reminiscent of The Wolf of Wall Street, yet distinctly rooted in Indian culture. Overall, it's a compelling watch that resonates with anyone familiar with the trials of middle-class existence.

Absolutely loved this movie! It was an incredible experience from start to finish, blending fun, suspense, and excitement perfectly. The direction was brilliant, keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time. DQ's performance was next level-by far his best acting yet, showcasing his immense talent and depth. The storyline was gripping, packed with twists that left me stunned. This is easily a 10/10 in recent times and truly a must-watch. Don't miss out on this masterpiece! The story is so well-written, with twists and turns that keep you guessing till the end.

This will be favourite movie.

The ultimate fantasy of an Indian middle-class man. There's really no other way to describe this movie. The story or even the presentation may not be anything new but it is designed to entertain the audience as a total commercial movie even without any action or item songs that are expected out of one, especially from the Telugu industry. Usually, I never choose to watch a dubbed movie, but Dulquer being a Malayali and the almost 60% or something dialogues in the movie coming from him helped make it not feel too much of a dubbed movie and didn't make me regret not traveling a 100 km to watch in the original Telugu language. When it is well made, movies like this that touch a chord with the middle-class struggle and show where they can reach from there will always work with the audience. But it's also good to remember this is all a fantasy because most are not Lucky Baskhars and even when some get lucky like that, they end up more like Harshad Mehta.

With all the scams going on, this movie encourages young folks to become scamsters. The hero violates law, scams, takes bribes and gets away with it. After good movies that give good social messages, this is a spoil sport to the community. It gives a message that you can do all the wrong things smartly and get away with it. Movie goers should not only see the thrill, but also the message it is sending the community.

Venky Atlur made a fantastic film with DQ's acting went to next level & all cast are perfect in their characters. This movie is one of my most favourites..!

Theme of this: Chess game taking a move on perfect timing....

Venky Atluri's film truly stands out as a masterpiece, with Dulquer Salmaan (DQ) delivering an exceptional performance that elevates the entire experience. Each character is perfectly cast, and the actors bring depth and authenticity to their roles, making the story even more captivating. The direction, storytelling, and acting all come together to create an unforgettable movie experience. This film has quickly become one of my all-time favorites!

I remembered movies like businessman , pokiri after watching this film . I feel mahesh babu would have played this character perfectly . This is in no way a criticism of dulquer salman . He has acted beautifully . The director , sets , comedy is awesome . I felt the movie is a classy mass film . It is totally worthy of your 150 rupees . I would espescially recommend you to watch it in theatres .I saw it in a theatre that was packed and I heard a lot of whistles and laughs .

The director is influenced by a lot of hollywood films . The breaking of the fourth wall is done in a beautiful way by dq . The heroine has also acted really well.

This was so fun to watch, the writing, the pacing, the plot, everything was perfectly balanced. The writing in specific while being very simple and easy to fillow has a great deal of thrill and complex human emotions especially those that are associated with money and greed conveyed through it.

I particularly loved the protagonist in this movie, he was strategic, smart and cunning but at the same time felt very human and with flaws. His character arc was also really satisfying to watch.

I'm not ashamed to admit that before this movie I did not have a good opinion of Telegu movies. This notion has been dismissed after watching this.

Dulquer has once again killed it in the Bhaskar role👍 what an outstanding performance it was!!

Lucky Bhaskar story is gripping right from the opening scene till the last scene. Kudos to the makers of the movie for such a brilliant story and gripping screen play and the movie also has an amazing background score.

Indian cinema has truly reached new heights. I watched it in Tamil, and the movie never feels like it's two and a half hours long. The screenplay by the director is exceptional, and Dulquer Salman's performance is outstanding.

Venky Atluri's film truly stands out as a masterpiece.

A Superb twists and plots very well written screenplay and an interesting story fitting in all languages... DQ has bossed this movie with no heroism but intelligence like his previous famous tamil hit movie.

Overall, a completely fulfilling experience for movie enthusiasts.

Interesting and well directed Wonderlful story im a fan of Dulquer salmon but really the way they make this master piece is amazing 2 or 3 times watchable. The movie was based on share market yeah definitely we need knowledge about the big bull harshad mehta Harshad Mehta (1954-2001) was an Indian stockbroker known for his involvement in the 1992 Indian stock market scam. Often called the "Big Bull" of the stock market, he gained fame and infamy for his bold and aggressive trading tactics that drove up stock prices dramatically, especially in companies like ACC and Reliance.

Born in Rajkot, Gujarat, Mehta moved to Mumbai, where he initially worked odd jobs before joining the Bombay Stock Exchange as a broker. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was a key figure in the stock market and developed a reputation for his flamboyant lifestyle.

Dulquer Salmaan shines in "Lucky Baskhar," a gripping con-drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. His portrayal of a cash-strapped cashier turned cunning investor is both charming and intense. The film's well-paced narrative and clever twists keep you engaged, while the supporting cast delivers solid performances. The cinematography is visually stunning, capturing the vibrant energy of the city. While the ending might leave you wanting more, "Lucky Baskhar" is a delightful cinematic experience that showcases Dulquer's versatility and the power of storytelling. Venky Atluri again proved his direction.
