Cut to Scene!Episode 14: Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! -- Mis-hit or Masterpiece?We talk about the 2008 heist caper Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, written by Urmi Juvekar and co-written, directed by Dibakar Banerjee!
We discuss Dibakar's filmography in some detail and also our controversial opinions about his films. We opine that though the film captures the pulse of the city and uses some interesting filmmaking choices, the screenplay does not quite hold it together. The end features our hot-takes about Abhay Deol as a performer.
Of course, some PJs are cracked at regular intervals, so please do listen :)
