Featured review
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.
