A good movie is like a good dish which requires fresh ingredients, perfect recipe which blends those ingredients together in just the right way, right amount of cooking and above all a good chef. If this movie were a dish, it would be the perfect dish with excellent cast, intricate story line which weaves the cast together, awesome screenplay and amazing direction. The movie is about four different stories which are bound together by the lynchpin character of Pankaj Tripathi. The movie starts with introduction of the four story lines which then go through a tangled web of their backstories and intersecting events ultimately coming together in the end. Though the entire cast has done excellent in this movie, Pankaj Tripathi stands tall on his stellar acting. Rajkumar Rao has also outdone himself and you can't just help but laugh at his lovelorn character. Abhishek Bachchan has proven that it takes a good director to bring out the best in you. He doesn't disappoint at all in his character as a rowdy with a heart as soft as a teddy. Some of the moments betwen him and the little girl Minni make the time stop even in this fast paced crime comedy. Sanya Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapur take you through a love story sans any of the regular bollywood cheesy and cringy romantic dialogues. This review would be incomplete without a few words about the direction. Anurag Basu has a quintessential style of direction which can be clearly spotted in his earlier work as well. He is adept at advancing the story by leaps through quick yet impactful visuals without even any dialogues. You can see this in movies like Barfi and Jagaa Jasoos and Ludo is no exception. If anything, he has taken this art to next level in Ludo. It required his genius to make a profound point by means of four different stories - that good or bad is only a matter of point of view.
