Lottery Bollywood Movie Review


Rohit Avasti (Abhijeet Sawant) is a junior accountant with a leading fashion magazine. And while he may not be brilliant in his job, he loves being there as he gets to spend time with his Simran (Manisha Kelkar) whom he loves a lot.


That’s besides the point that she couldn’t care less for him in real life. But since she knows that he has a decent position in the office, she uses him for her gain. One day Soha (Rucha Gujrati) is introduced to Rohit and can’t help but fall for him. She is well aware of his feelings for Simran but that doesn’t stop her. She has her own emotional baggage and believes that Rohit is her knight in shining armour.


Now while Rohit believes that Simran is the one for him, he also begins depending on Soha for help. Every time he is in a spot of bother, he turns to Soha. And slowly but surely the two get together exactly as how Soha wished and hoped for. But just when things are going fine for Rohit, he finds himself in the midst of bet with which he had nothing to do. Rohit is told that a pregnant lady whom he does not know is about to deliver a baby.


If she delivers a baby girl Rohit stands to win rupees 3 lakhs in cash and if in case she delivers a baby boy Rohit will get nothing. Now the lure of making that much money and standing nothing to lose, Rohit bets on a girl being born and lucky for him he wins the bet. Now egged on by the first win, he enters into a second bet – this time worth 7 lakhs. However, sadly for him the last bet for one crore rupees turns ugly and Rohit is framed for a murder, which he did not commit. Will Rohit be able to save himself?The film thoroughly disappoints.


Abhijeet Sawant who makes his Bollywood debut in this film needs to stick to singing. There is a reason why he has been given a great voice – can he first make it completely in that sphere before he decides to turn to acting. And if he does want to act, can he learn how the art works first? Rucha Gujrati comes across as those teenage girls who dream of being an actress in Bollywood and will take any role that comes their way.


That is a well thought of, good or even worth their while is completely forgotten. Let’s not even get into the remaining cast.Hemant Prabhu needs to go back to the first draft of his script that he may have got years back. Please compare that script with what he has served us on screen. If it is exactly the same, I want to know why that script wasn’t burned. And if it isn’t, then please tell us why!All in this entire lottery isn’t going to work for anyone. And least of all you and me!
