==Plot==
Lucky Negi is the daughter of Mr. Negi who works for Mr. Sekhri, the Indian Ambassador to Russia who has a son named Aditya. Lucky is a quiet, yet studious girl and lives with her parents as well as younger sister.

One day, while going to school, Lucky's bicycle tire goes flat and she ends up being the victim of an attempted rape by a young Russian. She manages to escape and hides in a parked car while the rapist is chased away by the car's owner, Aditya. Unaware of his "cargo", Aditya drives the car to meet his father until he is stopped at a check-post. That's when he discovers Lucky sitting in the back seat. During the checking, a terrorist attack occurs and utter chaos ensues. Aditya and Lucky manage to escape and hide in an isolated graveyard. Meanwhile, Sekhri and Negi recruit a private investigator, retired Colonel Pindi Das Kapoor, to locate their children. Just as Colonel Kapoor finds the graveyard, Aditya is forced to leave with Lucky when she accidentally drinks water poisoned by the terrorists. Aditya then manages to persuade a local doctor to take him and Lucky in, where she receives treatment. When the two eventually leave the doctor under pressing circumstances, a series of events ensues as they struggle to return to their families. Aditya and Lucky soon fall in love and are finally found by the Colonel, upon which they reunite with their families and get ready to fly back to India. Upon reaching the airport, the Colonel promises to return Aditya's car to him by ship, while Aditya and Lucky bid farewell to Russia and the Colonel.

==Release and reception==
The film was released on 8 April 2005. The film grossed {{INR}}27.81 crore against a {{INR}}14 crore production budget.<ref name="auto"/> [[Rediff.com]] called the box office performance of the film "Above average", writing, "Salman Khan's Lucky: No Time For Love saw one of the best openings this year -- almost 100 percent collections in the initial days. The film is well on its way to becoming a sizeble hit despite the cricket season, which seems to have become a nightmare for the Bollywood box-office."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2005/apr/12box.htm|title=Bollywood box-office report|website=Rediff.com|date=12 April 2005|access-date=24 April 2023|archive-date=24 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424091626/http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2005/apr/12box.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Anupama Chopra]] of [[India Today]] wrote "There are languorously lovely shots of the snowy wasteland, St Petersburg and Russian religious iconography. Adnan Sami's compositions are refreshingly melodious. The leads work nicely - Salman Khan's irreverent charm helps camouflage his cradle-snatching. Unfortunately, none of this can salvage the second half, in which the passion and plot seem to peter out. The lovers spend most of their time battling bullets, nasty rebels and the unrelenting winter."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Chopra |first=Anupama|author-link=Anupama Chopra|date=25 April 2005|title=Film review of 'Lucky: No Time For Love' starring Salman Khan, Sneha Ullal |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/your-week/story/20050425-film-review-of-lucky-no-time-for-love-starring-salman-khan-sneha-ullal-787930-2005-04-24 |url-status=live |magazine=[[India Today]] |location=[[New Delhi]] |publisher= Living Media India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209105724/https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/your-week/story/20050425-film-review-of-lucky-no-time-for-love-starring-salman-khan-sneha-ullal-787930-2005-04-24 |archive-date=9 February 2023 |access-date=}}</ref> Manish Gajjar of [[BBC.com]] wrote, "Music by Adnan Sami forms the highlight of the movie. Songs like Jaan Meri Ja Rahi Sanam, Sun Zara, Lucky Lips, Shayad Yehi To Pyaar Hai and Chori Chori are all well worth listening to. Praise also goes to Sudeep Chatterjee for his award winning cinematography of Russia.
