Lakadbaggha

"Lakadbhagga" presents an interesting concept centering around a vigilante with a mission to protect street dogs. It's a distinctive storyline that sets the film apart. Yet, the execution and the cast's performance are a mixed bag, diminishing the overall impact of the film.

Anshuman Jha, who is given the responsibility to lead the film, disappointingly delivers a less than satisfactory performance. As the vigilante, the character demanded a stronger, more convincing portrayal, which unfortunately Jha falls short of delivering.

On the flip side, Riddhi Dogra is the film's saving grace. Continuing her outstanding performances from her TV Series "Asur", she brings an exceptional depth to her role in "Lakadbhagga". Dogra demonstrates her versatility and ability to excel in a variety of roles, making a strong case for her to be featured in more mainstream Bollywood films.

The direction of the film leaves much to be desired. It fails to do justice to the unique premise and doesn't manage to evoke the intended emotional resonance. The setup in Calcutta, while rich in cultural heritage, seems misplaced for the context of the film. It doesn't add much value to the storyline and instead ends up feeling forced and inauthentic.

Overall, "Lakadbhagga" is a film with a promising premise, bolstered by a remarkable performance from Riddhi Dogra. However, it stumbles due to a weak lead performance by Anshuman Jha, lackluster direction, and a mismatched setting. It's a commendable effort that falls just short of delivering a fulfilling cinematic experience. If you are a fan of Riddhi Dogra, "Lakadbhagga" is worth a watch for her performance alone.

Lakdabagga is an important film, I think this film didn't get the it should have. Anshuman (Arjun) has done a great job, fight sequence was too classy , akshara and his brother. Akshara and her brother also did a good job. I hope to watch the second part of this film soon.

The concept of the film was very clear and the casting of the film was also accurate, wanted to see more of Arjun's father's character. The location of the film was good and the background music of the film was quite melodious, matching with the story of the film.

Congratulations to the entire team of Lakdbagga. I hope to see the second part of this film soon.

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..!!

Such a fresh story..and such real action absolutely unheard of in Indian cinema .

It's a such an out of the box content for Bollywood ...The lead actor Anshuman Jha did a fabulous job in getting in the skin of the character...absolutely authentic performance. The lead actress looked a bit too done up for her role but her eyes were very expressive and intense.

The director could have definitely been more crisp but nevertheless the story of the film stood out as the hero for me .Also the action sequences were brilliant and definitely deserve a mention for looking so real ..very unlike what you mostly see. Hope to see many more films being made on such subjects. Congratulations team Lakadbaggha.

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 😅

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!
