Good Luck Sakhi is a 2022 Indian Telugu-language sports comedy film written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor.
After an army colonel moves to town and opens a sharpshooting centre, she begins to train as a shooter to participate at the national level.
Good Luck Sakhi was released theatrically on 28 January 2022, having been delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sakhi reaches the final round but loses her aim due to her personal problems with Goli Raju, her childhood friend who still misunderstands her relationship with the coach.
She purposely misses her aim in the final round but eventually wins the gold medal after Goli Raju returns with the marbles and helps her regain her focus.
[20][21] A reviewer from The Hans India wrote: "Good Luck Sakhi is a sports drama that lacks strong characterisations and a gripping presentation.
[22] The New Indian Express rated 1.5 out on 5 and wrote Good Luck Sakhi also positions itself as a woman-empowerment message movie, even if this angle becomes secondary to everything else.
[23] Writing for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo wrote that the story was "simplistic and predictable," and falls way short of being another Iqbal.
Devi Sri Prasad's number Bad Luck Sakhi plays out almost like a musical on a Broadway show and you're intrigued.
However, despite the composer, cinematographer Chiratan Das and the lead actors giving their best, the film's sound design and editing are also a let-down.
