RUSSIA 2004.

Set against the romantic and majestic backdrop of St. Petersberg, LUCKY is a tale of love that brings together two people who would probably have never met if not for the hand of destiny.

LUCKY [Sneha Ullal] is the quintessential dreamer - soft, beautiful and gentle. Her one big belief - that if you search from the bottom of your heart then you can find the rainbow, not just the rainbow but also the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow.

One calm "Petersbergian" morning LUCKY'S riding to school and calling on all her guardian angels to grant her a miracle - a teeny weeny, itsy bitsy one - "please God I wish from the bottom of my heart that school is shut today."

But sometimes your deepest wish can turn into your worst nightmare. Her journey to school becomes her most desperate journey of survival. Caught unawares by an unexpected wave of insurgency in St. Petersberg, LUCKY tries to flee to safety. But there is not safety. As dread and fear overtake LUCKY, she meets a stranger, a fellow countryman ADITYA SEKHRI [Salman Khan] who's smart, wicked, charming and a true blue sophisticate.

They have nothing in common... she's excessively naive and he's too blasé. They are bound together by just one common goal... to reach home safely.

And now begins an unforgettable journey - from burning highways and mouldy cemetries to abandoned theatres and icy snowdrifts. A journey where violence and tragedy stalk them constantly... where there is little time for talk and survival comes only from being constantly on guard.

As they march through savage ambushes and the icy wilderness of a foreign land, they discover the limits of their endurance.

They also discover that love can creep in on you... though there's no time for it.
