The real-life antics of Devinder Singh, alias Bunty, a real-life "super-chor," originating from Vikaspuri, Delhi, served as the basis for the movie. Good Luck! Although Lucky Oye! received positive reviews, it’s the timing on the day following the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which caused widespread anxiety in crowded places, had a negative impact.
A youngster from an impoverished, dysfunctional family in the West Delhi suburbs grows up to become a charismatic and daring guy who, distinctively, robs the elite of numerous important Indian cities, frequently not out of necessity but simply for fun. Lovinder "Lucky" Singh reflects on his life after being apprehended by Special Crime Branch Inspector Devender Singh.
He recalls his childhood, his father's second marriage, his siblings, his entry into crime and his association with Gogi Arora, his romance and subsequent marriage to the lovely Sonal, and his subsequent betrayal by a hanger-on and a business partner. In the meantime, the media speculates on how he got away with breaking into homes in Bangalore, Chandigarh, Mumbai, and other Indian cities while stealing 140 TV sets, 212 VCRs, and 475 shirts, 90 music systems, 50 jewellery boxes, 2 dogs, and a greeting card.

Abhay Deol, Tannishtha Chatterjee, and Satish Kaushik feature in Dev Benegal's Indian road movie. It had its world premiere at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, and in February 2010 it debuted in the Generation 14plus category at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival. On March 5, 2010, India saw the release of the film Road.
A restless young guy named VISHNU is itching to leave his father's failing hair oil company. Vishnu sees the call of an old truck as his chance to escape. He offers to take the vintage Chevy, which has been purchased by a nearby museum, through the desert to the sea. He learns as he travels across the difficult terrain that he is moving an antique traveling movie theatre, not just a dilapidated van. Vishnu grudgingly takes up a juvenile runaway, a roaming elderly entertainer, and a beautiful gypsy woman along the road. They explore the dry terrain together in search of water and an illusive fair. When they run upon dishonest police officers and an infamous warlord, the voyage takes a terrible turn.
The two forty-year-old film projectors and the oddball assortment of movies in the truck's back are the only things that can set them free. If the movies are good, they live and move on, much like in 1001 Nights. They risk dying in the Australian outback if the movies are dull. For all of the travellers, but especially for Vishnu, who finds life, love, and laughter on the Indian highway, the voyage proves to be transforming.
Abhay Deol Movie: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
On a 45-crore rupee ($79 crore or $9.9 million in 2020) budget, it was shot in Spain, India, Egypt, and the United Kingdom. Javed Akhtar wrote the words, and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy created the music and background score. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara won Best Film among other awards, and Deol received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film.
The plot of the movie centres on Arjun, Kabir, and Imran, three old friends who reunite for a three-week road trip. They travel to Spain where they encounter Laila, who falls in love with Arjun and aids him in overcoming his need to work. Imran wants to meet his biological father, an artist, while Kabir and his fiancée Natasha have serious disagreements. Each travel companion selects a risky activity for the group to engage in.
On July 15, 2009, we were moved by the tale of three friends who, while on a road trip, rediscover themselves. Farhan Akhtar as Imraan, Hrithik Roshan as Arjun, and Abhay Deol as Kabir set out on an epic trip that would forever alter their lives. Through participating in various adventure sports throughout Spain and having fun and pulling practical jokes, they all came to understand what matters most to them. All three of the characters exhibit unique personality qualities and are successful in teaching us important lessons about life, but the focus of the entire movie is Kabir. Abhay Deol recently brought up how award shows referred to him and Farhan as supporting performers in the movie while referring to Hrithik and Katrina Kaif as the leads. Kabir, though, is the movie's protagonist in our eyes, and he is the subject of today's Throwback Thursday.
He is to blame for the start of the events depicted in the film. In the very first scene of the film, the character of Abhay Deol's Kabir pops the question to Natasha Arora; the remainder of the film focuses on his bachelor party.
