The mystery and unpredictability have always been shared between the people of India and Bollywood. There are a lot of films that deal with luck or chance and fate, and then fill with unpredictability, all kinds of drama, comedy, and emotions. These are some Bollywood films that indeed encapsulate the regime of luck and chance.

1. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Although it’s technically a British film, Slumdog Millionaire is very much steeped in Indian culture. The plot follows Jamal, a poor kid from the slums of Mumbai who finds himself on a quiz show. It’s a stroke of luck since his life experiences, somehow, match perfectly with the questions he gets asked. While the film is about destiny, it also shows how someone’s problems set them up for surprising opportunities.

2. Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)

This film shows how luck has changed everything for Munna who is actually a main character of the film, a local goon. His unexpected tale tells the story — how he pretends to be a history professor to win over a radio jockey. What ensues is a laugh-out-loud, heart-wrenching series of events, guided by the principles of Gandhiji.  Chance encounters and twists of fate drive the narrative, making it a standout film about life’s unexpected turns.

3. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

This classic movie pays tribute to life’s unpredictability. A road trip across Spain with three childhood friends. Each character has his chance: to face fears, to embrace life. They swing from skydiving to scuba diving, intertwined by luck and courage. The film beautifully depicts how events that we never even dreamed could happen are going to change our perspectives and strengthen our relationships.

4. Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006)

Khosla Ka Ghosla is a feel-good comedy about a middle-class man’s war to get back his land. The plot centers on a family’s war with a scheming real estate mogul. Ultimately, luck and proper planning allow them to flip the script. This perfect mix of comedy and the twists and turns of destiny, is sure to hit a nerve with everyone who has ever ridden the different difficult stages of life.
