Indians
mostly
cherish
two
things
the
most.
They
are
Cricket
and
Bollywood
and
what
happens
when
both
of
them
clash?
Read
to
find
out.
Releasing
on
30th
January,
2009,
are
two
films
covering
the
essence
of
the
Indians
across
the
world.
They
are
Manmohan
Shetty's
Victory,
highlighting
a
lot
of
Indian
as
well
as
International
cricketers,
and
the
other
one
is
Luck
by
Chance,
produced
by
the
much
talented
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Ritesh
Sidhwani.
Both
the
movies
have
debutant
directors.
Victory
is
directed
by
Ajitpal
Mangat
and
Luck
by
Chance
is
directed
by
Zoya
Akhtar.
Obviously
the
films
are
much
highlighted
and
have
a
great
back
up
by
their
producers
who
share
a
great
On

renowned
cricketers

Singh,
Muralitharan
etc.
with
Harman
Baweja
and
Amrita
Rao
in
the
lead.
Luck
By
Chance
is
a
multi
starrer
film
which
includes
Farhan
Akhtar,
Hrithik
Roshan,
Juhi
Chawla,
Rishi
Kapoor,
Konkona
Sen
Sharma,
Dimple
Kapadia,
Isha
Sharvani
etc.
The
film
also
features
a
special
song
starring
many
Bollywood
actors
including
Shah
Rukh
and
Aamir,
but
in
different
frames,
off
course.
The
music
of
Victory
is
composed
by
Anu
Malik.
The
songs
have
unfortunately
taken
an
'average'
backseat.
Shankar-Eshaan-Loy
have
composed
the
music
of
Luck
by
Chance
which
has
been
quite
liked
by
the
people.
Victory
centres
around
cricket
and
Harman
is
playing
a
batsman
trying
to
prove
his
skills
for
his
country.
While
Luck
by
Chance
is
a
story
about
struggling
and
slogging
it
out
to
survive
in
the
glamour
and
film
Industry.
Farhan
Akhtar
plays
the
main
lead
in
the
film
as
a
struggler.
So,
will
it
be
cricket
which
will
'bat'
its
way
out
and
hit
a
sixer
across
the
boundary
to
the
Indian
audience
or
will
it
be
Bollywood"s
strugglers
who
will
finally
pave
their
way
towards
what
we
all
call
as
'superstar'?
