Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (Template:Lang-hi) is a 2008 Indian film starring Abhay Deol, Neetu Chandra, Paresh Rawal, Manu Rishi, Richa Chadda, Manjot Singh and Archana Puran Singh. It was directed by Dibakar Banerjee. The film won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film.

The film is inspired by the real life shenanigans of Devinder Singh alias Bunty.[1] Bunty was responsible for robbing more than 100 showrooms and 300 homes in Delhi. The police were finally able to catch him in 2007.

Plot

Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye, a black comedy, is a story of Lucky Singh, a Punjabi Sikh who plays a loveable thief, someone whom even the Delhi Police is extremely fond of. His modus operandi is to outsmart the people, gatekeepers and policemen with his sharp mind and wit. He is an aspiring individual who loves the good things in life and is generally enamored by the lifestyles of the rich and affluent Delhi families. Later he spreads his reach to other big cities of India like Mumbai, Chandigarh and Bangalore.

Lucky's journey takes him from a middle class boy to a popular thief. Now he needs the respect, the social standing of a city gentleman without sacrificing that reckless freedom he cherishes (the duality of having the freedom to steal).

Reviews

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! garnered positive response from almost every critic.

  • Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN gave it 3 out of 5 and stated, "Watch it because it’s a film that respects your intelligence. And films like that are hard to find."[8]
  • Khalid Mohammed in Hindustan Times gave it 3.5 and concluded that, "Granted Oye..oye has its downers but at least it has the guts to be zany-`n’-zappy. Way to balle balle, thumka maar ke. ... Manu Rishi, as the sidekick, is the surprise packet; he was also responsible for the dialogue that’s as delicious as chicken tikka. And you once again get lucky with Abhay Deol. This actor knows his acting mutton chops and does justice to a succulent role."[9]
  • Reviewer Noyon Jyoti Parasara too gave the film 3.5 out of 5 and expressed, "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! is one film which is going to leave you delighted. Although the ending is debatable. OLLO is well directed and Dibakar Banerjee can take a bow for that. Performance wise this is an Abhay Deol movie. But the highlight of the movie is definitely Paresh Rawal. Brilliant.Neetu Chandra has a smaller role but makes an impact. Manu Rishi is good as Abhay's friend. Special mention is deserved by Manjot Singh, who plays the younger Lucky. Enjoy this one along with popcorns or coffee. The extra money spent will be justified!"[10]
