I really like this movie. I see some stupid people give bad review for this movie. I am sure they don't know bengali language. my question for them, if you cannot realize whole matter then why you need to talk about it??? If they can understand movie language then they don't put this bad ratting

And while you may laugh at that notion, wait until the movie starts and the amateurish nature takes over. Now maybe you have a soft spot for that and there would be nothing wrong with that. It's just a shame, that instead of relishing in certain aspects, the movie tries to be something it can not be. Budget wise, story wise and anything to do with wise/wisdom at all.There is blood, there is almost nudity (though you could argue that there is a lot of skin shown for a movie from India) and there is horror. Though the horror aspect may come from a different place that you think. The make up isn't that bad though and the wicked, if completely mental ending almost is a saving grace. Then again, I'm not sure many will make it until then ... pun intended
... View MoreI am fan of the foreign horror genre, so needless to say i was excited to view this film. Foreign horror films often contain more in depth mythos and psychological scares than the mainstream films. The idea of this film was very interesting yet failed to deliver. The pacing was too slow and scattered and despite the typical gore, Ludo failed to grip me. The scenes combined with the soundtrack felt solely for shock value ( a la Martyrs sans story line). The first act was, albeit too long, supposed to flesh out the characters. Which it did. It gave the viewer a sense of the environment and what is culturally accepted and not. Then, it switched from being a 'slow-burn'into a music video that bombards your ears with industrial type beats and seizure inducing lights. From here you are magically whisked away to a non-nonsensical time shifting quick explanation of the cursed game complete with gore and not much else. To say more is really irrelevant. Many will disagree, but if you are curious in viewing this, it really wouldn't hurt skipping some scenes and just skimming through the rest to arrive at a flat ending.
... View MoreWell -- just saw this modern indie horror flick -- warning if you are not into industrial or heavy tech music -- you may get a headache -- part of this review try to give these filmmaker positive energy in trying to make something different -- but it a mess --- but shows promise in that they continue this style it may get stronger. Since there was some nice shots - but really choppy with their editing -- loses the narrative a bit. But if you like gore -- there plenty of it! Editing matches the soundtrack – but gets boring after a awhile. Story has too many twists -- after a awhile the twisted game of Ludo -- seems to lose interest - we get it... you play; you die for all eternity.Its downfall -- its visuals (which very dark and romantic – horrific but almost Gothic) show much of Indian culture/ landscape – that the soundtrack could have really reflect that instead just having really loud dance music and rock music – maybe filmmakers trying to appeal to Indian teenagers or college students.FYI: Did see some people immediately walk out during the 1st gory scene – so I guess the film does deliver -- have fun playing Ludo!
