Plot

Vikram Kumar aka Lucky is a happy-go-lucky graduate, who is in love with a TV anchor Gowri, who gives him the cold shoulder, and helping her keep Lucky at an arm's length is her pug dog Zoo Zoo. Gowri is compelled to resign from her job and takes over as creative head of an advertising company. Lucky arrives for a job interview in the company where he learns that Gowri will be providing the job interview and would probably not let him get a job in her workplace.

With the help of his friend Anand aka 420, Lucky takes on a different identity, Vicky, complete with new wardrobe and changed hairstyle. Vicky builds a rapport with Gowri and proposes to her. Then, he learns that she’s is in love with Lucky. Vicky tries to prove that he himself is Lucky, but to no avail as 420 had already destroyed all the things linked to Lucky on his own advice. Gowri strongly tells Vicky that if he was Lucky, Zoo Zoo would have chased him out.

Vicky resigns from job and later turns up dressed as Lucky. Gowri still rejects him saying she has started adoring Vicky, but later she confesses to Zoo Zoo that she knows both Lucky and Vicky are the same person and that she is rejecting him as she doesn't want Zoo Zoo to feel abandoned. After seeing how Gowri adores Lucky, Zoo Zoo reunites them.

Critical reception

Lucky opened to average response across Karnataka with mixed reviews. IBNLive gave the movie 3.5 stars out of 5 saying, "Other than 'one' fresh point in the film, which has given due importance to the relationship between the heroine and a dog, 'Lucky' is too predictable, inconsistent and illogical. ".^[2] While Supergoodmovies.com gave the movie a negative review by giving 2.5 stars out of 5 and said, "It is nothing but an ordinary brain and very ordinary screenplay in ‘Lucky" further branding it as "IT IS ‘UNLUCKY’".^[3] IndiaGlitz.com also gave it an average review by giving 5.5 stars out of 10 and said, "Another debutant director Dr Soori has erred with no tight script and screenplay. The concept of pleasing-realizing-forgiving is the age old concept in Indian cinema. In addition to it the inexcusable is the simple transformation not identified by the female protagonist looks so inept handling of the director"^[4]
