Lootera is like a breath of fresh air amidst the crowd of ‘Chennai Express’ and other south-style movies doing the rounds of multiplexes currently. Set in the 1950s (post-independance) era, it is a love story between a thief (a lootera) and a zamindar’s daughter. The storyline is quite simple but the beauty lies in the detailing and the little moments that make it a pleasure to watch.
The performances by all the actors is very good and feels very natural. Ranveer Singh does a good job, and shows a lot of rage through his eyes. Sonakshi Sinha too gets to display her acting prowess which were rarely seen after the first Dabangg movie. She looks very pretty here and I feel these kind of roles really suite her. The innocent, old-style romance is very well brought out in the movie. The background music has been done very well and heightens the ‘mood’ of the scene well.
Although the movie is out of the multiplexes by now, I would recommend getting your hands on a DVD as soon as it comes out.
