Luck by Chance (2009)
Luck by Chance is streaming in Canada on Netflix.
The verdict
Luck by Chance is a solid, watchable Hindi film that mostly delivers on what it promises. It holds a 6.5/10 on TMDB from 76 ratings, right around average territory. At 155 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In Canada you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 35m on it?
2h 35m of Hindi romance with drama threaded through. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
Don't watch this if…
- you take the score at face value — it's early, and 76 votes can still move it

- Why
- 6.5/10 from 76 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if

- Best for
- An evening with no interruptions
