Lucky Baskhar (Hindi)
Lucky Baskhar is a 2024 Indian Telugu-language period crime drama film, written and directed by Venky Atluri. It is produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinema and Srikara Studios. The film stars Dulquer Salmaan as Baskhar Kumar, a lower-middle-class man who struggles to support his family while battling debt and humiliation, from 1989 to 1992. Desperate to escape his hand-to-mouth existence, Baskar begins to engage in financial scams.
The film was officially announced in May 2023 and its title followed in July. Principal photography commenced in October, predominantly in Hyderabad. Lucky Baskhar has music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography handled by Nimish Ravi and editing by Naveen Nooli.
Lucky Baskhar was released worldwide on 31 October 2024, coinciding with Deepawali, and received positive reviews from critics to emerge as the highest grosser of Dulquer Salmaan[5] grossing ₹107–₹111.15 crore.
The story unfolds with Baskar narrating his journey directly to the audience, often breaking the fourth wall to reveal twists and provide insights into his motivations. Initially depicted as a man burdened by family responsibilities and financial woes, Baskar seizes an opportunity to exploit loopholes in the banking system. What begins as a desperate bid to make quick money evolves into a calculated involvement in a larger stock market and money laundering scheme.
As Baskhar rises from rags to riches, his character transforms, exposing arrogance and ambition. However, his wife, Sumathi, serving as his moral compass, questions his choices and forces him to confront the consequences of his actions.
After the success of Vaathi in early 2023, it was reported that Venky Atluri had met Dulquer Salmaan and narrated a script which impressed the actor. Production was reported to begin after Dulquer completes his commitments for King of Kotha (2023). The project would be funded by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya’s Sithara Entertainment, Fortune Four Cinemas and Sikara Studios. The company made a public announcement on 15 May 2023, confirming the project, and also stating that filming would begin the following October and would be released in the Summer (June–August 2024).[11] The film’s official title, Lucky Bashkar, was announced on 28 July 2023.
