This article is about the review of LUDO movie.
LUDO is a Hindi language Netflix Original Film. It was released on 12 November 2020, which also happens to be Diwali. The film stars an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Suresh Saraf, Pearle Maaney and Inayat Verma and many other stars.
Fun Fact: This is the second film starring Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra lead roles after Dangal (2016).
LUDO is a Hindi-language crime comedy thriller by Anurag Basu who also plays a cameo in the film as Yamraj. The trailer of the film can be seen below:
The movie describes the lives of four individuals. As the movie progresses, it determines the power of the butterfly effect. The story then follows a series of events that start with one butterfly effect; and how everyone ends up in the same place at the same time.
Apart from comedy, violence, and philosophy, the film very subtly portrays the genres of romance, sacrifice, and hatred. This film keeps you hooked and leaves you wanting for more.
LUDO is by far one of the finest films which have released in the lockdown era. The cinematography and film making is bang on, however, there are a couple of instances where the story is not completed on the screen, however, it is understood by the audience.
The use of lights and ensemble cast makes this film a perfect one to watch with friends on a lazy afternoon.
Since LUDO is a Netflix Original Film, it is available on Netflix India, and it can be watched online on mobile phone.
The soundtrack of the film is very similar to that of Life In A Metro – the stories continue as a montage to the songs. However, it is soothing and sets the tone of the film perfectly. The Soundtrack is available on major audio and music streaming websites and apps like JioSaavn, Amazon Music, Hungama etc.
The storyline of the film is a metaphor to the game of Ludo, where every coloured pawn starts its own journey, but end up crossing each other’s path and making a way to the Home. Similarly, each colour associates one of the 4 storylines, and how they intertwine.
A basic synopsis of the plot states that the film portrays 4 analogy depicting 4 colours of the famous board game – ludo.
Overall, LUDO is a fine piece of filmmaking witnessed during the Covid-19 Lockdown. As per my perspective of this Bollywood film, I shall give it 3.5/5; just because of one reason – the start of the film is attention-grabbing; however, during the end or “climax” of the film it was rushed; a couple of minutes more on the screen was anticipated.
The metaphor of Ludo is perfectly in place during the entire film; and at times, the director keeps reminding the viewer that this a metaphor to Ludo, boardgame.
The film, LUDO ends on a beautiful note – Three colours reach their homes, but one of them loose. Which one lost? Well, it is up to you to find out.
