Synopsis
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008) is an Indian crime comedy from Dibakar Banerjee that you can watch online on iFILM. A Delhi thief nicknamed Lucky sits in custody awaiting trial and looks back on the years he spent cleaning out the capital without getting caught.
Lucky steals everything — televisions, cars, a chandelier, even gatecrashed weddings. He's no greedy mastermind, just a working-class kid for whom theft is the only door into a life his birth shut him out of. Abhay Deol plays the charming crook, while Paresh Rawal takes on three separate roles as the men who cross Lucky's path. The press, meanwhile, keeps asking how one man fooled everyone for so long.
Shot in rough Punjabi street slang and loosely based on real-life serial burglar Bunty, it smuggles a sharp comment on class and ambition inside a picaresque caper. A strong pick if you want Indian cinema with none of the usual Bollywood gloss. Stream Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008) online on iFILM.
