Lucky Bhaskar Story
The Rags-to-Riches story inspires many, and Lucky Bhaskar does the same work. It follows the story of Bhaskar Kumar, who works as a cashier and later gets promoted to Assistant General Manager at the Colaba branch of Magadha Bank. He has taken loans from many people but is unable to repay them because of his dire financial condition.
He has to face the humiliations of the lenders and relatives’ tantrums. But, He has hope for a promotion to turn around his life on the track. But, fate doesn’t favour him as the promotion slips away. He later finds out a loophole in the banking system to make quick money. He eventually starts to engage in financial scams.
The gripping storyline paired with a well-paced screenplay perfectly balances the film. Also, Dulquer Salmaan’s performance was top notch while Meenakshi Chaudhary also stole the show. The supporting cast, including Tinnu Anand, P. Sai Kumar, Ramki, Raghu Babu, and Maanasa Choudhary was pretty impressive. If you haven’t watched it, don’t miss it. It is highly recommended.
Lucky Bhaskar: True Story or Fiction?
I came across a social media post where fans appreciated the film but questioned it was based on a true story or a fictional one.
Lucky Bhaskar is not based on a true story but draws inspiration from the several scams that happened in the 90s. The producers of the film Naga Vamsi mentioned in an interview that the film was set during that time, a period when scams were very common. The story is connected to an incident that happened back then.
This is a fictional story and seems to be a spin-off of Scam 1992. Audiences have seen Scam 1992, which focused on Harshad Mehta’s growth and how he found a loophole in the system to make money. In contrast, Lucky Bhaskar highlights how bankers benefited from Harshad’s scam.
