We need to encourage these movies because they have some messages that we overlook or we don't care about. The audience and their taste is now changing and hopefully people will accept these kind of contents with more welcoming manner. I would like to encourage the director, producer and the actors and everyone associated with this project to continue to work on projects like these. I can understand that the money is less however the content is pure and authentic. Giving 9 starts and keeping one star so you guys have room to do even better and grow. There are a lot more contents and issues that people needs to be aware of. Cheers!
"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.

Sameer lodaya
A very good attempt was seen here by the whole team
The content is new to Bollywood of animal used for illegal activities and how a guy tries to save these animals..the makers have shown good detailing of animals and their breeds..performances of both Anshuman and Riddhi very good along with Paresh
The best part of the movie is the action which is one of a kind Anshuman riddhi and Paresh gave good action scenes
As it was as a action packed movie the pace should be very fast and some long action scenes were required..the love story was dumb
The movie is perfect for OTT watch.

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..!!
