With movies like "Carry On Jatta", "Singh Vs Kaur" in his bunch of successful movies, this time the budding superstar of Punjwood has come up with a comic thriller "Lucky Di Unlucky Story."

Although in current scenario humor is considered as somewhat a mandatory condiment for any and every Punjabi cine delight, but this time director of "Lucky Di Unlucky Story", Smeep Kang (Carry On Jattaa fame) along with Naresh Kathuria have experimented with the prevailing notion and have tried to craft something different around the core of humor and suspense.

And from there begins a crazy joy ride of humor and mild suspense.
