Ranveer Singh is on celeberating his birthday and
with success movies "Lootera" celebrate both
of Period films usually
mean big budget bonanzas which overwhelm you with expensive sets, elaborate
costumes, a big star cast, computer graphics and other paraphernalia. In that Lootera is different. But that's not the only
thing that's different. For starters, the film doesn't attempt to overwhelm you in any way. Lootera charms
you and slowly (pun intended) draws you into its lost world. Lootera set in
the year is 1953, is a love story of Pakhi
(Sonakshi Sinha) and Varun (Ranveer
Singh). She lives with her father, A Zamindar, in an aristocratic world. Along
comes Varun, an archaeologist and impresses the large-hearted noble landlord enough to
host him and his friend during their stay in their town. It's
a matter of time before he wins over the confidence of the zaminar and Pakh's
heart. A date for marriage is set but misfortune strikes. With Varun gone, Pakhi attempts to move on with her life in a
new town. Then one day, he lands up at her door-step. Will she forgive him?
Will she take him back.a Does she hate him
Those questions are as much on Pakhi's mind as they will be on yours are you
get engrossed in her worldIt is clear from the start that this film is the kind
of romance that can't be rushed, and won't be rushed. Director Vikramaditya
doesn't dazzle you with great dialogues or attempt to impress with fifties' Nostalgia.
He
is content just telling the story and bringing his old world characters to
life. Lootera has all the right rhythms
and it moves along without losing its conviction, and casting it's hypnotic
spell. Before you now it, you are part of this bygone era. It's a world where
art and antiques, paintings and music, books and babus. Motwane does a
wonderful job of letting the audience understand the nature of his characters
the good and thebad.You feel the helplessness of the Zamindar's secretary about
the impending doom about to destroy his employer. You feel the Zamindar's loss
when he looks at the empty shelves in his house, you can almost reach out and
touch the old radio playing Yaad kiya dil ne kahan ho tum. You can
sense Varun's dilemma, and experience Pakhi's pain. Lootera is fetching
filmed Mahendra Shetty a and say onderfully
acted. The music by Amit Trivedi is a huge plus. Varun's friend serves special Ranveer
Singh is a revelation. He is wonderfully restrained, effortless and delivered a
gimmick-free performance. But the star of the film is undoubtedly Sonakshi
Sinha. What a mature and refined performance. She lives the character body and
soul. One film she can and should always be Good…..?
