    action sequences are well choreographed

    Do not let Anshuman Jha's innocent demeanor deceive you. He is a normal delivery boy during the day, but at night, he transforms into an animal vigilante. If he finds someone tormenting animals, especially dogs, he becomes extremely violent and incapacitates the abuser. He also befriends a hyena which saves his life in the climax. Ridhi Dogra is a sincere cop who is on his trail. Paresh Pahuja is a sophisticated businessman who is involved in the illegal animal trade. #Lakadbaggha is a must watch for those who keep yelling ''bollywood does not experiment with subjects''. Performances are outstanding. The action sequences are well choreographed. Rating 3.5/5.

    Novel idea and execution

    The story idea of this film is its unique aspect. The film has interesting action sequences and Arjun, played by Anshuman Jha has caught the nuances of classic hand-to-hand combat with finesse. Apart from the action, the story revolves around Arjun, his love for animals and till what extend he can go to protect the helpless animals. Which most Indians would call stray, but Arjun thinks otherwise of it. Character of Akshara is warm and her chemistry with Arjun is refreshing, including their sparing scene which is something to look out for. The technical aspects of this film are fine and the music supports the emotions pretty well.

    Overall it was a breeze to watch and an enjoyable film. Such films should be supported.

    Arjun for the animals ✊🏽

    I was able to see the movie in Stuttgart Germany at the Indian film festival, so I was simply curious and open for everything to come.

    And it came good!

    It was a good mixture of action and background story!

    What really impressed me was, the actor who played Arjun trained for 6 months and made the action scenes look so real! Congratulations to the actor/s and the trainer who made a really good job!

    It's the first time I've seen a secret vigilante fight for animals!

    Sometimes I wished they would have given more time for the topics(animal cruelty) which came up, because one time it felt like a recital of topics. Then the single scenes with the background story between the action, are worthy to have some time to breath and to unfold naturally.

    If there are movies which are allowed to be longer than 1.5 hours, it's Indian movies!

    Maybe I just wished, the movie would have been longer πŸ˜…

    It's the first part of a trilogy or series, so I'm excited to see what the crew brings out in the second part!

    Surprisingly good action flick..! But weak screenplay..!

    NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!

    This quote fits for the lead character ARJUN. This dude showed some realy nice action scenes. His physique, costumes and hairstyle is close to Bruce Lee. Female lead is not promising. She should have been a journalist instead of a police officer in this movie.

    Weak screenplay and unnecessarily long conversations ruins the flow of the flick. Film creates a feeling that its based on animal trafficking and the hero is going bust a big racket but eventually nothing big happens. It only focuses on the Hyena. More screen time should hv given to show how the bond between the hero and the hyena develops.

    But definitely worth a watch. If any wise Bollywood directors notice this new guy ANSHUMAN JHA then Bollywood definitely gets a new era Action Hero. Kudos to the ANSHUMAN JHA!

    Long Live INDIA..! Long Live SERBIA..!!

    Good attempt

    Sameer lodaya

    A very good attempt was seen here by the whole team

    The content is new to Bollywood of animal used for illegal activities and how a guy tries to save these animals..the makers have shown good detailing of animals and their breeds..performances of both Anshuman and Riddhi very good along with Paresh

    The best part of the movie is the action which is one of a kind Anshuman riddhi and Paresh gave good action scenes

    As it was as a action packed movie the pace should be very fast and some long action scenes were required..the love story was dumb

    The movie is perfect for OTT watch.
