Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! follows the exploits of a petty thief named Lucky (Abhay Deol), who steals TVs and stereo systems from homes when the residents aren’t paying attention. None of his heists are that daring, he’s never in any real danger and, during the few run-ins he has with police, he escapes in such a casual manner you hardly notice he’s gotten away before the next scene begins. The people in Lucky’s life don’t really challenge him to change his ways, hence he doesn’t develop as a character. The film would’ve been just as compelling if it had been about Lucky preparing breakfast.
