Lootera:: Movie Review:: A Classic Tale, which may bring tears !!! (5/5)

Lootera is a beautiful, heart-warming, and quite love saga of Pakhi (Sonakshi) and Varun (Ranveer Singh), based in early 1950's, which begins in Manikpur, West Bengal.


You may feel the movie is bit slow, but a movie like this doesn't require pace, it just require correct emotions. And Lootera is filled with moments of glorious emotions. Emotions of deceit, betrayal, passion, honour and love. You feel loved, when love blossoms between Pakhi and Varun. Water comes out of your eyes when Varun breaks Pakhi's heart, when Pakhi suffers from TB. You move to tears, when she waits for the end of life and starts believing that the day the last leaf of tree falls, she too would pass away. You feel blessed when destiny bring them together. You start believing in true love by the end of the story.

Sonakshi Sinha plays an intensely heart-wrenching character, to perfection. You can easily say, she is one of the finest female actors of our generation. She looks beautiful potraying the traditional Bengali girl of 1950's and her size is just irrelevant here. Her grace, dialogues, top notch acting and sense of emotions is the actual hero of this film.

Ranveer plays the title role 'the Lootera'. He plays the street-smart con here, who cheats Pakhi and her Landlord father. At this young age, with an acting experience of just 3 years he plays this complicated role with absolute perfection.

Every frame of this film is picture perfect. Vikramaditya Motwane's style of story telling is impressive and he has kept the accurate amount of thrill in a slow romance. The director takes us to 50's effortlessly. With a beautiful story penned with utmost sensitivity and crafted delicately, this film looks like a beautiful painting on celluloid!

All the songs gels well with story. The Background store is just amazing. Thumbs up for Amit Trivedi's Melodious songs, you start humming them instantly.
Supporting cast Vikrant Massey, Adil Hussain, Barun Chanda has done a tremendous job as well.
The chemistry between Ranveer and Sonakshi is scorching !!!
Team Lootera ...Take a BOW !!!

Precaution: Don't go with your friends with extra sense of humor, else you may want to punch them, when they laughs or cracks a joke when someone is dying(though in fiction). Also  if you are not a fan to slow romance avoid it, you may find it boring !!!
