Q releases a dark and scary trailer for his film ‘Ludo’
MUMBAI: While it isn’t surprising coming from the director of the infamous film Gandu, Q, but his upcoming film in collaboration with Nikon, Luda has sent chills down the spines of those who saw the trailer.
This much anticipated fantasy thriller, produced by Idyabooster and Starfire Movies is co-produced by Oddjoint and Celine Loop’s production house.
The plot follows four desperate teenagers who decide to spend one fateful night in the big city. Horny and broke, the teenagers take shelter inside a gigantic shopping mall, after attempts to get a hotel room fail. At the mall all plans go haywire, as an old couple appears from nowhere inviting them to play a game — the simple but deadly of Ludo.
If you think it will rolls out like the tried and tested formula of thriller movies in mainstream cinema, trust the Tasherdesh maker to shock you. Teenagers looking for sex with the whole thing devolving into a bloodbath is a formula familiar from scores of American horror films but what Q and Nikon are doing here is something very different. This film is poised to reshape the thriller-horror genre in India, while presenting a global product for the international markets.
The trailer is very edgy and intriguing and we simply can’t wait to know more about the film.
