Featured reviews
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 !
If you are really sick n tired of this pandemic situation, then watch this movie it will work as a medicine. Fantastic work by Raj Kumar rao (The Mithun Style), Pankaj Tirpathi (The kaleen bhaiya) and ofcourse ANURAG BASU.
People who are saying this movie is ruining our hindu mythology n all kind of stuffs, go watch Ramayana.
When people talk about humor, chemistry, story, I want to ask you Do you really understand all of these words?
Passing comments is very easy, but Hats off for making a movie specially working in this situation where no one moving out of their house until it's an emergency.
So guys stop writing illogical things, do write what do you feel genuinely.
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
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 .
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.

- TriviaPankaj 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!
- GoofsDuring 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.
