Ludo

The movie is outstanding, it will take your heart away. I know why people are hating it so much Firstly, Most of the Indian viewers first watch movies like Judwaa 2, Dabangg 3, then the same people ask why films like Swadesh, Jagga Jasoos etc flopped. Basu's movies are the victims of this, Basu's movies are not so easy to understand, his films hide some messages that you understand after thinking a lot. That is why his films flopped because Indian viewers want item numbers as well as Oscars. Second reason, Most of the Indian viewers love naked actresses dancing, liquor, cars, unrealistic cliche stories, some unrealistic happy ideal families with full of values, mockery of eunuchs on the big screen but if someone says anything about superstition (which pk, omg showed) about God, then they have problems. The movie did not say that God doesn't exist. He said that your actions will decide the end of your life. We don't know whether there is hell and heaven or not, but we should always do our deeds, leave the consequences to God. The movie said that God is there, but don't do business in his name because your actions are the ultimate judge, who'll decide if you're made for heaven or hell.

One star less because some scenes were confusing.

Really great storyline , only talentless people or say boycott gang will give bad review without watching ! Give it a try and support talent really appreciate the effort of the film !

I could say it as Abhishek's career best performance. He completely stole the show. Can't leave without leaving Rajkumar's performance also.

You can't resist to finish it one u start watching, the direction, the story line, how small incidents connects one another even though in a childish way but still the crispy enjoyment is there. The movie serves its purpose.

Ludo is a chaotic yet fun to watch film. Expect the unexpected in this dark comedy anthology as you do in the case of life or a game of ludo. The characters like players of ludo criss cross and get second chances. Anurag Basu draws parallel with the unpredictable game of ludo and stitches four different stories together to come up with this delightful piece of filmmaking which is a unique experience in cinematic viewing.

Various characters get ample opportunity to shine and the actors playing them never miss the mark. Pankaj Tripathi yet again steals the show playing the role of a gangster. This bundle of talent creates an entertaining character with the help of his gestures and expressions. Rajkumar Rao plays the role of a lover who is willing to go to any extent for the sake of his love. He is extremely endearing and stands out with his antics. Abhishek Bachchan gets into his always likeable angry mode and plays the role of a tough guy who has a soft heart with a lot of brooding intensity. He is outstanding in the scene where he meets his daughter after a long time. Aditya Roy Kapoor is a real surprise as he does well in a very interesting character. His voice modulations and mimicry (Assuming they are done by himself) are effortlessly amazing. The leading ladies Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh also play interesting roles. Whether its Sanya playing a confused character or Fatima a manipulative one they have both done a great job.

Pritam creates another melodious soundtrack for Anurag where the songs are seemlessly placed with the narrative. O betaji an old evergreen song has been used humorously in the story. The four colours of ludo game have been used intelligently. The film talks about karma as well as philosophy of life but all in a lighter vein. It brings a smile on your face as Anurag had rightly mentioned in his interviews. Its a mad world created by him and his team where you sit back and enjoy this crazyball comedy like a game of ludo. This light breezy entertainer is perhaps the best Diwali watch this weekend.
