Luck by Chance

Luck by Chance (2009) is a Bollywood drama you can watch online on iFILM, marking director Zoya Akhtar's feature debut. Two outsiders arrive in Mumbai chasing the same dream: screen time, recognition, and a name someone will remember.

Vikram Jaiswal (Farhan Akhtar) has been grinding auditions for years — charming, hungry, not above bending the rules. Sona Mishra (Konkona Sen Sharma) is more clear-eyed about what she is trading: her time, her comfort, her relationship. When Vikram finally catches a break, things pull apart in ways neither of them planned.

Akhtar fills the film with real Bollywood faces — Hrithik Roshan, Juhi Chawla, Boman Irani, Dia Mirza — which turns it into an industry looking sideways at itself. Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia as a fading star couple frame the whole story. What lingers is less the romance than the question of what you hand over to get what you wanted.
