    Probably one of the top 5 black comedies Indian cinema has ever attempted

    After proving his mettle in the brilliant comedy drama barfi and magical musical drama jagga jasoos , Anurag Basu now ventures in the rarely attempted genre of black comedy in Indian cinema and nails it completely... multi narrative stories are often confusing but this movie has some of the finest editing I've seen in recent times... If you liked Delhi Belly this one's perfect for you

    Full entertainment.

    Brilliant. It's funny, entertaining and fast paced. All the actors have done a good job. Story is captivating. Can be easily watched more than once.

    Entertaining , Funny in a dark way

    The film just starts from somewhere just like a Tarantino film with no real early insight on what is happening . We are slowly given birth to its world and what is really special about its film is its execution . The execution is unique and it keeps you hooked to the story . The film is rightly named as Ludo as it shows so many parallels with the board game . The ending scene of the film is extremely symbolic if you think about it . Pankaj Tripathi is just phenomenal in his role . He is calm minded yet violent and thats what i liked so much about the character. His character is much like Bob Biswas in Kahaani . Rajkumar Rao is as usual fabulous with his acting and the female leads did put forth commendable performances . Abhishek Bachchan is truly a gem for Indian cinema ... He has so much potential but yeah he shouldn't be compared with his father cause he is so much different .. overall the film is really good and unique with superb direction from Anurag Basu . Probably one of the best films of bollywood this year till now .

    Best movie released in 2020

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

    • Trivia
      Pankaj Tripathi's character 'Sattu Bhaiya' is seen wearing a ludo-pendant in a chain around his neck! This seems to be a reference to how his character's actions have a ripple effect on all the other players in the various story arcs in the film!
    • Goofs
      During the introduction scene of Alok (Aalu), he flips a bottle which lands on another table. If you look closely, you can see that they're both different bottles with different sizes and slightly different shapes.
