Fortune favours the brave and this one with all the talent it's equipped with plus 'The Zoya Factor' certainly seems to hold the promise of box office success. Read our full review below.

Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan's The Zoya Factor is not an unwatchable film by any measure. But it squanders the opportunity to say something about the world we live in, and our reliance on luck as both a crutch and an excuse.
