What happens

Luck is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Soham Shah and produced by Dhilin Mehta under Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Ravi Kishan, Shruti Haasan and Danny Denzongpa in pivotal roles. The cinematography was handled by Santosh Thundiyil, while the music was composed by Salim–Sulaiman recorded the musical score. Hassan made her feature film debut through this film. Luck was released on 24 July 2009 to lukewarm response from critics and became a box-office bomb. In September 2024, Shah accused the producers of Squid Game of plagiarizing the film's plot, a claim that was denied by the distributor, Netflix. However, observers had noted that Luck itself combined elements from the French film 13 Tzameti (2005), the Australian-American film The Condemned (2007), and the Spanish film Intacto (2001). In September 2025, the copyright infringement action was dismissed with prejudice, primarily due to Shah not owning the film's copyright (and thus unable to pursue a lawsuit), as well as for the two works being substantially dissimilar.
