Ludo, the
fantasy-horror-thriller, by directors Qaushiq Mukherjee (Q) and Nikon, is continuing
its dream run at top film festivals across the globe. The latest feather in the
cap comes from the Belgrade International Film Festival, Serbia, where Ludo won
the Jury of the Frontiers selection consisting of Slobodan Sijan, Dragan
Jovicevic and Marko Njegic, conferred the NIN award for Best film to Ludo.
They added, “This is the work
that goes furthest in its pushing of the frontiers, out of all of the films
we’ve seen this year in this selection. Ludo is one of very few films where
it’s impossible to anticipate where the story might go next. In this
rollercoaster film, whose aesthetics is actually complemented by a visible lack
of funds, the director builds the story on the foundation of social drama,
topping it off with an extraordinary visual interpretation of the old motifs of
Indian epics. On top of that, the author exhibits an extraordinary grasp of the
genre, providing an entirely new dimension to the elements of drama and horror
in the film, and also a very unique stamp of the Indian film.”
Ludo, is a creation of the crack
team at Oddjoint: directors Nikon & Q, and Celine Loop. Ludo is produced
and backed by Idyabooster and Starfire Movies, and co-produced by Oddjoint.
