It has Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role. The plot is set in the middle-class society to provide a realistic base for an astonishing storyline.

The film promises to take the viewers on a teeter-totter of human feelings intertwined with shocking suspense and an abrupt climax. The rest of the supporting cast, along with the technicians of the film, promise to do as much justice to the film as its director.

Plot

In Lupsy Baskhar, Vensy Atluri narrates an elaborate tale of civilization through the personal journey of a disciplined, soft-spoken bank employee named Baskhar. Baskhar has well-ordered dreams and is hopeful about the future until he encounters a mysterious transaction that shakes everything he knows to the core. Everything goes for a random toss during a mundane day at work when our curiosity has no bounds. This character Arc pulls the audience through secrets, crimes, looted money, and a desperate need to survive.

Performance  

Dulquer Salmaan strikingly encapsulates the transition of Baskhar from a docile worker to an active agent, transforming every subtle nuance like gestures and emotive moments into shades of greater depth during his journey. Meenakshi Chaudhary offers strong support by bringing in style and romance which aids the supporting portion of the film. Even the supporting actors of the film have a moderate and acceptable blend of performances.  

Every character has their share of contribution to the plot, accommodates without drowning the lead, and is appropriately disproportionate. Together, these contribute to the atmosphere of authenticity in which his film portrays reality.  

Direction and Screenplay  

Venky Atluri deals with Lucky Baskhar using an even hand and calm control over pacing and telling more emotionally driven stories at the same time. The control he uses permits the building of tellings to stretch over time rather than compressing them to keep attention. The writing tells of events in an orderly fashion, with major events having their places for the sake of captivating the viewers. Conversations to be had are realistic, both within the context of the film and beyond the confines of the screen.

Despite a portion of elements feeling rather cliché, the attention grabbing aspect is most certainly covered within. The use of imagery to tell the story relies heavily on subtlety, but the hints provided are more than ample. The balance of emotionally propelled scenes and scenes filled with excitement are in the right hands of Atluri.

Music

G. V. Prakash Kumar composes a powerful and touching score which adds to the mood of the film. His music supports the fragile and powerful moments simultaneously without intruding on the action. There is a good balance between the placement and the tone of the songs concerning the story’s curve, and the background score is at its best during the climaxes.

Each piece appears to be tailor-made to reinforce the emotions portrayed. I suspect that the theme of romance will be the most memorable. By supporting the plot, music becomes a character in itself. 

Theme

The personal theme of integrity and unexpected defeat plays a pivotal role. How far would one go to guard his family when everything surrounding him is chaotic, corrupt, and filled with greed? The essence focuses on courage, truth, and inner strength.

The film succeeds in portraying vividly the day-to-day struggles faced by the middle-class citizens. Through Baskhar’s eyes, the narrative depicts the conflict of ethics and ambition’ making one relatable were the driving emotions of the film. 

Conclusion 

The charm in Lucky Baskhar is the mixture of drama, emotions, and an engaging story wrapped in suspense. In this regard, Dulquer Salmaan’s performance along with the thoughtful script heightens emotional attachment, while there are no grand explosions in the plot, everything is delivered with subtle warmth and tender intensity.

It’s the tale of an average man put in extraordinary situations. With solid direction and engaging music, Lucky Baskhar offers a thought-provoking experience. It will surely be worthwhile to stream it on iBomma once it’s released.
