Money talks, and it seems to be the driving force behind two upcoming Tollywood films: 'Lucky Bhaskar' and 'Matka'. Both stories delve into the alluring world of wealth and its impact on ordinary lives, offering a glimpse into the complexities of desire and the pursuit of easy money.

'Lucky Bhaskar': The Allure of Overnight Wealth

Dulquer Salmaan stars in "Lucky Bhaskar," a film directed by Venky Atluri and produced by Sitara Entertainments. The trailer promises a story centered around money, with a seemingly ordinary bank employee experiencing a life-altering transformation into a millionaire. The film explores the consequences of sudden wealth, with impactful dialogues like "The kick of money is more than the kick of cigarettes and alcohol," and "If you want things, you have to buy them with money. If we want respect, money should be on our side."

'Matka': The Dark Side of Greed

"Matka," directed by Palasa fame Karuna Kumar and starring Varun Tej, takes a darker turn, exploring the allure of easy money through the lens of an ordinary person's descent into the world of organized crime. The film's tagline, "For every rupee that circulates in this country, he earns only 90 paise. The remaining 99 people will fight for that ten paise," sets the stage for a story rife with social commentary and the consequences of relentless greed.

A Common Thread: The Power of Money

While the backgrounds of these two films differ, they share a common theme: the intoxicating power of money. Both movies portray protagonists driven by the desire for wealth, highlighting the complexities of ambition and the allure of easy riches.

Whether these films deliver a moral message about the pursuit of money remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: both films capitalize on the universal fascination with wealth, promising an entertaining exploration of the human condition in the face of financial temptation.

The release of "Lucky Bhaskar" and "Matka" just two weeks apart will likely set off a wave of debate about the role of money in society and the power of cinematic storytelling in reflecting our collective desires.
