Plot
Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye is a story of Lucky Singh who plays a loveable thief, someone whom even the Delhi police is extremely fond of. His modus operandi is to outsmart the people, chowkidars and policemen with his sharp mind and wit. He is an aspiring individual who loves the good things in life and is generally enamored by the lifestyles of the rich and affluent Delhi families.

Now he needs the respect, the social standing of a city gentleman without sacrificing that reckless freedom he cherishes (the duality of having the freedom to steal).

- Khalid Mohammad also gave it 3.5 and concluded that, “Granted Oye..oye has its downers but at least it has the guts to be zany-`n’-zappy.Way to balle balle, thumka maar ke.Manu Rishi, as the sidekick, is the surprise packet;he was also responsible for the dialogue that’s as delicious as chicken tikka.And you once again get lucky with Abhay Deol. This actor knows his acting mutton chops and does justice to a succulent role.”
- Reviewer Noyon Jyoti Parasara too gave the film 3.5 out of 5 and expressed, “Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! is one film which is going to leave you delighted. Although the ending is debatable.OLLO is well directed and Dibakar Banerjee can take a bow for that.Performance wise this is an Abhay Deol movie. But the highlight of the movie is definitely Paresh Rawal. Brilliant.Neetu Chandra has a smaller role but makes an impact.Manu Rishi is good as Abhay’s friend. Special mention is deserved by Manjot Singh, who plays the younger Lucky.Enjoy this one along with popcorns or coffee. The extra money spent will be justified!”
