'Ludo' trailer: Anurag Basu promises a super entertaining thriller
What's the story
Anurag Basu's upcoming Netflix film Ludo's trailer is now out.
The intriguing trailer introduces you to the eccentric world of four parallel stories that make up this anthology dark-comedy thriller.
As it appears, the lives of all the characters in the film are intertwined, which becomes evident toward the crazy climax.
Here is more on this.
Details
There is action, comedy and a whole lot of drama
Offering plenty of Basu's quirks and style, Ludo's narrative is fast-paced and urgent, more like an edge-of-your-seat thriller.
It apparently draws inspiration from "Butterfly effect," a theory that suggests that tiny, minuscule things have an impact in the larger scheme of things.
The trailer shows how lives of the characters are intricately connected and tied together by circumstances and coincidences far beyond their control.

Basu did something similar with 'Life in a... Metro'
To jog your memory, this is not the first time that Basu is directing an anthology. His 2007 movie Life in a... Metro was also about a number of intertwined stories.
Apart from these two, Basu is known for directing movies such as Gangster, Kites and Barfi!.
His last directorial outing was adventure film Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
Release
'Ludo' will be out next month
In an earlier interview, Basu had described the movie as a "crazy fun ride."
He had said, "There are four dices and players and we don't know who will ultimately win. All are so interconnected...It has dark humor, romance and crime."
Bankrolled by Anurag Basu Productions and T-Series, Ludo will premiere on Netflix on November 12.
