LUDO

Ludo - A must watch 2020 film With the amazing direction of Anurag Basu and right choice of cast this is a watch worthy film that has come out after a very long time. It deals with the real lives of very ordinary people from different walks of life who are stuck with their own problems and how the turn of events bring all of them to a common point just like the game of ludo. The story is definitely quite unpredictable as Ludo game. Sometimes the players themselves don't know where they are going to be taken.Though it is more of a Dark Comedy but at the end it feels more like The Comedy of Errors. The movie has a beautiful blend of all the possible emotions that can be risen in the time allotted. The show stealer is ofcourse Pankaj Tripathi as Sattu Bhaiya. He plays the role of a gangster who is possibly rolling the dice and bringing every other character to its culmination. Personally I feel this man is emerging to be one of the finest actors Indian Cinema will be having. Abhishek Bachchan and Rajkumar Rao also deliver exceptional performances. Rajkumar is excellent in his role. He is hilarious and at the the same time a perfectionist in his character. He is a dutiful friend as well as lover. Abhishek's flawless acting comes out through his wonderful chemistry with Mini. Lakshay imagines his own daughter through the eyes of Mini because he thinks his daughter might be of the same age as her. The duo at times brings tears to your eyes. The other actors like Sanya Malhotra,Fatima Sana Shaikh , Aditya Roy Kapur, Rohit Saraf do a decent job.Every song fits well with the story and there is no unwanted dance or drama to it. Overall it is a good script, fantastic direction ,mindful cast and lovely music that one should watch in these trying times to give a bit of relief and believe in the fact that there might be ups and downs in life but the ending always justifies the journey.
