Soori loots jewelry from the bus passengers using the gun from the coach and buys a new bike. The coach learns of all this and exiles him from the academy. Sakhi attends the shooting competition and refuses to participate after looking at the talented shooters. Coach encourages Sakhi and she goes on. Sakhi is caught using her lucky marbles which were given to her by Goli Raju in her childhood. Coach says that her concentration is more important than superstitions.

The next day is Sakhi's national shooting competition. Disappointed due to the breaking up of her and Goli Raju, she loses her concentration in the competition and loses her aim. She then comes in eighth place. In the green room (before the final round), Sakhi tells the coach does not want to participate in the finals because of her bad luck and there arises a fight between them. She then goes to participate and purposefully misses her aim. Meanwhile, the famous actor selects Raju for the remake of Mayabazar and realizes that Sakhi and the coach told him that he was a talented actor. Goli Raju immediately rushes to Hyderabad along with the good luck marbles which Sakhi gave to him that day (which he gave to Sakhi in childhood). He reaches at the correct time and gives Sakhi the marbles. Sakhi remembers that in the last competition, her coach said that her concentration is more important than the superstitions. She drops the marbles purposefully and shoots her aim, leading her to win gold.
Nagesh Kukunoor initially wrote the script for Hrishikesh Mukherjee. After fifteen years it became the director's debut Telugu film. Kukunoor wanted Keerthy Suresh after watching her in Mahanati.[1] The film was officially announced on 27 April 2019.[2] The title Good Luck Sakhi was unveiled in November 2019.[3] Keerthy plays a rural girl from Andhra Pradesh who supposedly brings bad luck to everyone. Following the accidental death of her fiancé just before their wedding, she begins to train as a sharpshooter to participate at the national level.[4]
The film opened to negative reviews from critics and audience.[20] A reviewer from The Hans India wrote: "Good Luck Sakhi is a sports drama that lacks strong characterisations and a gripping presentation. Despite good performances from all the key characters, the dull and predictable proceedings make "Good Luck Sakhi" a disappointing watch.[21] The New Indian Express rated 1.5 out on 5 and wrote Good Luck Sakhi also positions itself as a woman-empowerment message movie, even if this angle becomes secondary to everything else. The vagueness in the narration doesn't always drive home the message: 'There's no such thing like luck, you determine your own destiny.' So nothing much stays with us once you step out of the theatre.[22] Writing for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo wrote that the story was "simplistic and predictable," and falls way short of being another Iqbal.[23]

Three of the best script writers in Hollywood collaborated for this modern classic. Beattie originally had the idea for the movie aged seventeen while riding in the back of a cab in his native Sydney. He then worked up a two-page treatment called The Last Domino, which he turned into a screenplay. Later he was lucky enough to be put in touch with Darabont and then Mann who both contributed revisions. 2ff7e9595c
