This Telugu thriller, starring the versatile Dulquer Salmaan, has not just met expectations but has surpassed them, marking its territory as one of the surprise hits of the year. Released on October 31, 2024, "Lucky Baskhar" has captivated audiences across regions, showcasing not just the narrative's charm but also the film industry's unpredictable nature.

From the moment it hit the screens, "Lucky Baskhar" drew audiences with its compelling storyline set against the backdrop of the 1980s, exploring the life of a banker with mysterious wealth.

The film's box office numbers speak volumes. Within four days, it crossed the Rs 50 crore mark globally, a testament to its widespread appeal. Interestingly, "Lucky Baskhar" managed to outpace previous big releases like "King of Kotha" and "Sita Ramam" in terms of box office collections, indicating not only its commercial success but also its cultural impact. The film's success in Tamil and Malayalam versions further underscores Dulquer's pan-Indian appeal, proving his mettle as a box office magnet beyond his home turf.

Critically, "Lucky Baskhar" has been praised for its narrative finesse, with critics lauding the director's attention to detail and the seamless blend of crime, drama, and nostalgia. The music by G. V. Prakash Kumar added another layer of richness, contributing to the film's immersive experience. The story's relatability, as mentioned by Dulquer himself, might be a key factor in its widespread acceptance, touching a chord with audiences from various walks of life.
