Ludo movie release
Filmmaker Anurag Basu is back after three years with Ludo. The anthology film brings together Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Asha Negi. Ludo was premiered at 1:30 pm on Netflix.
Abhishek Bachchan plays a naive kidnapper Bittu, who turns over a new leaf after meeting six-year-old Mini as he kidnaps her. While Rajkummar Rao essays the role of a conman and can be seen paying homage to Mithun Chakraborty's pelvic thrusts. Pankaj Tripathi is once again seen wielding guns and as a comedic villain. The film seemed to be interconnecting multiple stories and sub-plots.
The official synopsis of the film reads, “They say you don’t meet people by accident, they are meant to cross your path for a reason. Following the journey of four different people who meet at a crossroads, Ludo is much more than just a mere coincidence.”
Ludo has been bankrolled by T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions. Here is how Twitterati reacted to the film:
