Good Fortune is a 2025 American fantasy comedy film directed by Aziz Ansari, following a bumbling heavenly messenger whose well-intentioned interference upends the lives of a precarious gig worker and a self-satisfied tech billionaire in ways nobody planned.
What is Good Fortune about?
Gabriel, an earnest but spectacularly clumsy angel, arrives on Earth with a mandate to improve human lives. His first two cases could not be more different: a young woman grinding through the gig economy, barely keeping her head above water, and a wealthy entrepreneur utterly convinced his money has already solved everything. Gabriel's interventions — each launched with great confidence and each landing somewhere between awkward and catastrophic — force both people to confront what they actually want versus what they have been told they should want. The film keeps its satirical gaze steady on the gap between good intentions and real outcomes, letting its ensemble cast play the escalating chaos with a remarkably light touch.
Cast & crew
Aziz Ansari, who also directs, plays the earnest Gabriel with a perfectly calibrated mix of optimism and obliviousness. Keanu Reeves takes on the billionaire with understated comic timing, while Seth Rogen brings warmth to a supporting role. Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, and Sherry Cola round out an ensemble that keeps the satirical edge sharp without letting the film tip into cynicism.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora have long gravitated toward comedies that skewer wealth inequality and the hollow promises of hustle culture — territory Good Fortune occupies with a distinctly American absurdist sensibility. The film's multicultural cast, including Sandra Oh and Sherry Cola, gives it a texture that resonates beyond any single cultural frame. It arrives with a full Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, meaning you can follow every joke at your preferred pace without missing a beat. For an evening of light fantasy satire that does not demand heavy commitment, it fits comfortably into a watchlist alongside global comedies the community already enjoys.
Where & how to watch
Good Fortune is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub and Persian subtitles. Stream it on the web, on your TV دستگاه, or on your phone — no VPN needed, no geo-blocking, and you can cancel anytime.
