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..!!

I will keep my review short and effective. This is worth viewing. It us not one of the perfect pieces of work but it did hold its ground for me. Enjoyed it. The action sequences are well defined. The story line is coherent. It does address some of today's issues in it's own way. The performance of the protagonist within given constraints is commendable. This is binge worthy. The viewer is engaged from the beginning. What falls short in screenplay is made better in the making and performances of the cast. Here fantasy and friction meet the thrill. If you are an avid binge watcher, don't miss this.
"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.

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.

Do not let Anshuman Jha's innocent demeanor deceive you. He is a normal delivery boy during the day, but at night, he transforms into an animal vigilante. If he finds someone tormenting animals, especially dogs, he becomes extremely violent and incapacitates the abuser. He also befriends a hyena which saves his life in the climax. Ridhi Dogra is a sincere cop who is on his trail. Paresh Pahuja is a sophisticated businessman who is involved in the illegal animal trade. #Lakadbaggha is a must watch for those who keep yelling ''bollywood does not experiment with subjects''. Performances are outstanding. The action sequences are well choreographed. Rating 3.5/5.
