Arnab Mukherjee

I watched it on Netflix and I’ve no idea why it has a 5/10 in IMDB. It’s a pretty decent movie based on a fundamental assumption and idealistic family values. Not every movie needs to be a complicated set of twists and turns. Right?

Highly entertaining. Brings a nice tech-touch to the action movies you grew up with if you were a 80s or 90s kid. All the 4 main characters literally live their part - Dwayne and Statham play themselves to shine while Idris and Vanessa play their role super earnestly. Beware though - it's not the cars and babes kind like the Fast and Furious franchise. It's an action flick spin off and that ALSO has a few good chase sequences!

Definitely the best Indian Action movie I've watched in a very long time, except that "kid diffusing a bomb" scene!

Perhaps the most flawless Bengali movie I've watched in the last couple of decades!

An extremely underrated movie with a good plot line and an excellent work by Dev!

One of the best movies I've watched in a very, very long time. Impeccable casting with an ensemble of some great songs, Ludo doesn't try to be a great film while the hard work behind each scene is clearly evident. Anurag Basu takes the liberty to create a world such as the MCU or DCEU and gift it to a very niche audience that doesn't watch movies to finish the popcorn but to savour a great story and think on nuances of life while smiling at the connections a movie has with his/her life. As an avid Ludo game lover, I love how the movie lacks linearity when it comes to one story but has a strong sense of direction when all the 4 stories are looked at as a whole. Don't be a part of this journey if your mind just wants to predict the end of something. It wants you to celebrate each frame, each emotion, each success as well as each failure of the characters. Follow the story just the way the narrator tells you to and I assure you that it will be a journey you'll cherish. The 4 stories and the common string (Pankaj Tripathi's part forms the dice in the game of Ludo) each exert a small push to one another until each reach its own climax - exactly how you'd expect the game you ludo to be. Exceeding expectations through ethos, logos as well as pathos, Ludo is an exceptional piece of art!

The craziest Indian web series. Loved it!! Super gripping tale coupled with a great direction makes this a classic. Must watch!

I loved how the script wonderfully introduced the Kolkata underworld - something not much talked about in movies - and then extracted the exact human elements from Julius Caesar and Antony & Cleopatra that are eternally relevant. But what's better than the script is the execution. Each character is detailed and complete in its own sense. While Bumba da, Koushik Sen, Rahul and Parambrata do perfect justice to their author backing roles, Jishu wonderfully portrays the socially-relevant bad shade of grey (in a grey attire) with panache. The show stealers, however, are Dev and Ankush - watch them to know what they are really capable of. Srijit Mukherjee also plays a critical role behind the camera. He plays the Tarantino wonderfully and forces us to see the story with him exactly the way he wants us to. Not many will like this movie but then, I don't think this movie is for many.
