The heart of Oye Lucky Lucky Oye lies in its colourful characters.Starring Abhay Deol, Paresh Rawal and Neetu Chandra, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye revolves around a petty thief Lucky (Abhay Deol) who grows up to be a rich burglar and con artist. In the course of his 'career', he meets various people including gang leader Gogi Bhai. What ensues is a laugh riot along with Lucky's meteoric rise as Gogi's star operator and Man Friday.

Abandoning the conventional formula of throwing in a comedian to provide the laughs, Banerjee packs the film with humor that arises out of everyday characters and seemingly normal situations.Then there's the casting.Archana Puransingh and Paresh Rawal as an unctuous Punjabi couple sweet-talking Lucky into investing for a restaurant project are great. Rawal in fact gives three wonderful performances as three different characters who play a part in shaping Lucky's destiny.Abhay Deol's act is constantly laced with a streak of mean wickedness. He doesn't act. He just lets his character be. Deol isn't afraid of being embarrassed. Watch how he slobbers all over his kid-brother during a holiday with his girlfriend.The director is very clever with the script and movies of this kind are hard to find.When you’re a director of a masterpiece of Indian Cinema then the expectations automatically become high from your next outing, and living up to those expectations is not an easy task but director Dibakar Banerjee, the man behind Khosla Ka Ghosla, makes it a cakewalk with his new movie Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! Must watch movie.
