Anurag Basu's Ludo, which releases on Netflix this week, could be a reflection of what life has been in 2020. Every day has been a different one, and no one knows what will happen next, much like the game of ludo. The dice you play dictates what will happen next, and like itself, you have no control over it. The movie has four tracks running, all of which culminate in a lucky-for-some, unlucky-for-some, ending.

The one we liked best was the story that features Abhishek Bachchan, last seen in Amazon Prime's Breathe, and six-year-old Inayat Verma, who has been a contestant on India's Best Dramabaaz. Even if they don't play father and daughter, they have the chemistry pat down. We are chatting with them on Zoom on a Wednesday evening, and they are in high spirits. "We are the hyper active, excited bunch, as this is the first interview of the day. By the time the interview starts, we don't know what will happen. Inayat has a bad temper, she is quite the diva," quips Bachchan, to which the exuberant youngster says, "No!" When they find out we have already watched the movie, which they haven't seen yet in entirety at the time of the interview, they are thrilled. "Kaisi lagi aapko?"
