Lootera Movie Review

Cast:Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh

Director: Vikramaditya Motwane

Story: In a village, a young archaeologist falls in love with a landlord’s daughter. Their union seems doomed. But destiny brings them together a year later. Will they live happily ever after?

Movie Review:

The plot is an amalgamation of a story written by Vikramaditya Motwane with O’Henry’s short story, The Last Leaf. It begins in Manikpur, West Bengal, in 1953.

A zamindar (Barun Chanda) dotes on his well-educated but impressionable girl, Pakhi ( Sonakshi Sinha). The landlord’s Munim warns his master that courtesy the State Acquisition and Tenancy Act of 1950, zamindars like himself (read loyal to the British Empire) were losing their titles and prerogatives. But to no avail. The

zamindar is visibly more concerned about his daughter’s well-being, more so because she suffers from asthma.

A suave archaeologist, Varun ( Ranveer Singh), enters the village seeking permission from the landlord to dig up a mysterious civilisation buried around his temple. As work progresses, love blossoms between Pakhi and Varun. The father of the bride agrees to their union but the young couple face other hurdles. From a simple love story the film assumes the shape of a thriller.

A year later, Pakhi and Varun (the Lootera) find themselves under the same roof, in snow-capped Dalhousie under extenuating circumstances. Their relationship is volatile, vile and vulnerable. Love him she does, but deep inside, she is nursing a grudge against him for stealing her heart, breaking her father’s heart and letting their trust down.

Performances:

Sonakshi Sinha looks natural and divine throughout the film, and delivers a supreme performance. Ranveer makes for a very pretty frame. He expresses through his eyes and is also good in the action sequences. But acting-wise, one feels he just followed the director’s orders and didn’t push the envelope.

Music:

The songs of Lootera blend with the story, and thankfully there’s no running around trees in the snow-clad Dalhousie. The background score works well and gives you the feeling that you are watching a Hollywood classic. The set design, costumes and production are near-perfect. So what goes wrong?

Verdict:

As of now, I feel that Lootera is a film with depth and susbstance, but at times, too stretched and long. It is indeed a lovely film, but keeping in mind our Indian masala movie audience, we wonder what would be their take on this.

Positive

Ravi Teja – Gopichand Malineni’s last outing Don Seenu went extremely well with the masses.
Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja had earned the image of hero who gives minimum entertainment throughout the the movie. This will be put to use in this film to a maximum extent.

Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke movie review

The film begins well with a awkward call centre executive Priyanka (Adah Sharma) answering odd medical queries over the phone. She even warns a client that ‘beauty creams’ are for external use only. The scene makes us laugh, thus making you believe the film could turn out to be a comedy.Unfortunately, within few minutes, you realize the film has no story. You see Priyanka’s bachelor neighbour-cum-best friend Shammy (Dev Goel) passing time around in his house in colourful underwear.All of a sudden Shammi decides to attend a wedding in Pune and convinces Priyanka to accompany him. The film is all about what happens on that road trip.

Sanjay Dutt, Anupam Kher, Juhi Chawla are in guest appearance. Adah Sharma is decent and Dev Goel makes a confident debut.However, Hum hai Raahi Car ke is a fun filled road movie with full of life driven by the director.

In the desperation to save her mother she gets into this profession for the sake of money, but unfortunately her attempt fails.

Shiva (Shivaji) is a photographer who traps innocent girls, gets into physical relationship and records the intimate acts for money extortion. One girl unable to bear the harassment of Shiva, tries to commit suicide and ultimately gets saved by Pavithra. What Pavithra does to bring Shiva behind the bars forms the crux of the story.

In parallel MLA’s (Sai Kumar) son Abhi (Kaushik) falls in love with Pavithra and under unavoidable circumstances MLA agrees for their wedlock. But he has some other plans in using the marriage to his advantage. What is the evil plan? How it is evaded forms the rest of the story.
