Director : Vikramaditya Motwane

Tagline :


Lootera" is a lovingly crafted rarity; a big budget Bollywood offering that makes no compromises and sticks to conviction. Meticulous to detail, richly photographed and lavishly mounted this is a piece of work that not only is a feast to the eye but tugs at your heart strings and does it rather painfully. Varun (Ranveer Singh) and Palkhi's (Sonakshi Sinha) love story is touching, poignant and heart breaking and as good as it gets for any romantic. Sonakshi and Ranveer carry their roles extremely well, particularly Sonakshi as the mischievous and spoiled Palkhi who's world turns upside after she falls in love with the mysterious Varun. The cinematography is sheer poetry with the 1950s sets painstakingly created to such authentic detail. The whole idea behind the film seems to have germinated from O Henry's short story "The Last Leaf" whose story however only takes up the last act.
No review of Lootera is complete without mention of its music. After Udaan, Vikram Motwane again teams up with Amit Trivedi and gives probably the best score of year. Each and every song are gem and the album has soo much heart and surely lot of shelf life.
Strongly recommended
