Sane Review So I don't know how the rest of the reviewers are able to get over how damn creepy this movie comes off as. Lucky is 17 supposedly but seemingly acts like she's 12 and it's so cringe worthy to see an old guy like Salman Khan going after her... That's a pretty crazy thing and on the face of it sort of reminds me of Nishabd (which handled this topic SOO much better). It almost feels like it's pandering to immature boys with schoolgirl fetishes. And having it set in Russia I'd think maybe there's a reference to Lolita but this just seems creepy

DreamyGirl247 I must confess that from the very instant I heard of this film I really truly wanted to see it very much. However once I actually got my hands on a copy of this film, I was sadly quite disappointed.First of all I had heard a lot about the fresh-faced young Sneha Ullal and how much she resembled the reigning Queen of Bollywood, the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai, and so I was quite anxious to watch her for the first time. First of all Sneha Ullal is supposed to be around seventeen or eighteen when she made this film and her character Lucky is supposed to be seventeen years old, however Sneha looks like a thirteen year old. Secondly whenever a new fresh face is introduced into any film industry, the expectations are relatively high. Sadly Sneha Ullal did not meet these expectations. Instead of getting the audience interested in her, she quite frankly bores her audience out of their skulls. She fails to make any kind of impact in her role as Lucky and her debut performance could be summed up as utterly, dull, wooden, dead, lifeless, emotionless, weak, awkward and forgettable not to mention ineffective. She constantly looks bored out of her mind herself from the very beginning of the film right till the very end, as if she were being forced to be there on the set of the film. There is no passion, no life, no emotion or feeling whatsoever behind her "acting." Sneha would also do quite well to take some major acting lessons and classes before she even attempts to take on another role. Her performance or lack thereof was simply tedious, and did not do anything for me whatsoever. She looks out of place and her inexperience and discomfort in front of the camera shows all too obviously.Coming to the topic of Salman Khan, I must say that the only saving grace of this film was Salman Khan's performance. One can tell right away that he put a lot of passion and effort and gave his all into portraying his role of Aditya! As opposed to Sneha's highly weak performance, Salman delivers, he is sexy, handsome, charming, hunky, suave, charismatic and very likable. He embodies the kind of older man who every young girl would find attractive and would fall in love with. However once again Salman didn't have much to work with due to the very poorly developed love story of the film and therefore could not use or display his full potential as an actor but still did quite excellently with what he was given to work with.Moving on to the subject matter of the love story itself, Lucky, is first and above all a love story. Or rather one should say that it is supposed to be a love story. One reason why this film failed to achieve the high expectations which it set up for itself was because of the fact that the director failed to write a captivating love story. First of all what does Lucky possess that would make a much older and much more experienced and mature man such as Adi fall instantly under her spell? Unfortunately, the answer, due to Sneha's very poor acting and lifeless demeanor, is NOTHING. Apart from acting incredibly child-like, naive and innocent, Sneha cannot do much at all. Even when acting like a cute and naive little girl, one feels that it could have been done five times more effectively. In short the heroine has absolutely nothing to peak the interest of the hero and make him fall in love with her. While it is however understandable why a young girl, Lucky's age would fall in love with Salman's character. The love story is odd, we don't get a sense of how Adi's feelings for Lucky began to emerge or deepen, but rather before we know it, they're just suddenly in love! The love happens far too quickly and the director doesn't give us any time to be able to stop and grasp that love is happening between these two individuals.Lastly coming to the concept of the terrorism in Russia. Once again, the concept of the film was quite good but the director just failed to execute the concept behind it properly. Why are these terrorists attacking the country and bombing everything in sight? What do they want? What is going on in the country? We do not really get a good sense of the answers to these questions. Therefore when Adi and Lucky are separated we cannot become intertwined and lost within their love as we would like to.That being said, the direction and the sets and locations were beautiful especially during the songs. I particularly liked the song "Sun Zara" but that was once again due to Salman Khan's very good acting and emotion. But I did not like "Lucky Lips" and that was once again due to Sneha's very boring and ridiculous performance, the heroine's number which is intended to give the spotlight on over to the film's heroine was completely wasted on Sneha. Also Lucky's friends, Padma, Sunaina and the other girl as well were also just God awful actresses as well. Did I mention that none of the Russian spoken in the film is subtitled?! That was poorly done and quite ridiculous. I despised every time that the actors spoke in Russian because we were completely oblivious as to what the hell was going on.All in all, I was sadly very disappointed with Lucky: No Time For Love. In short Lucky is a film which was very ambitious but failed at reaching its aim. I give this film a 5/10, and that's all for Salman Khan's very good acting and the beauty of the sets. My take on this movie is, if you are a true fan of Salman Khan, then you should see it, but otherwise its not really worth your time.

Sherazade Yep, this time he sinks to the most ultimate low by casting newcomer Sneha Ullal (the most legitimate dead-ringer for Aishwarya Rai in Bollywood to date) as his leading lady in this mostly sleepy drama about Indians trapped in Russia when a war breaks out. Ullal plays a 16-year-old school girl who manages to win the affection of one of her classmate's boyfriend(the boyfriend is played by Salman Khan) when she narrowly escapes the clutches of a pedophile and hides in Khan's car for safety. It is during this escapade that the war intensifies, trapping everybody wherever they presently are. The rest of the film is about the relationship forms between Khan and Ullal during this ordeal, and what their parents on both sides do to try and ensure their safety. Ullal doesn't make much of her debut and manages to ruin Asha Bhosle's perfect 'Lucky Lips' sexy ditty. Khan is obviously fantasizing about the one that got away whenever he shares the screen with this underage substitute.

Shar Songs are quite impressive, movie sequence is good especially liked the way street war/fight shown. Gun shooting sound looks realistic. There is violence in this movie but tolerable. Salman's acting is as usual like a kid, but no overacting hence not boring. Sneha looks like carbon copy of Aishwarya Rai. She looks beautiful but as per her roll she remains like a school girl. Mithun acted quite well but he looks more of joker than intelligence officer. Only thing I disliked is the conversation in Rassian language, at least they should have put subtitles in the movie. Since there are no subtitles, couldn't understood the situations well. Anyway overall movie is quite good and songs too. In songs Adnan Sami has continued his regular tuning and stretched emotions in songs. But "Chori Chori" songs change mood, Sonu Nigam and Alaka Yagnik sung these songs very well. Hope to see Sneha in future movies with much more better appearance.
