A Disappointing Continuation

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the Best Bollywood movies. A story where a young man (Ranveer) who is torn between his love for Sonakshi and his deceitful yet unavoidable profession. The scene where his true identity is revealed on the day of their wedding is heart breaking to the core. Supported by soulful songs, picturesque locales and superb cinematography the film takes the viewer on a ride of love, happiness, nostalgia, hope, despair and finally strength ! From the fluttering curtains to the sunlight dappled fields, from sleepy snowy mountains to spirited mansions, each scene is breathtakingly shot..this movie is hard to miss !!!

Giving the movie look of old days was the first best thing writer did,& then obviously the acting of these guys have been superb.The softness in their voices was sweet as honey,time flies you never know if you double crossed w/ someone is going to meet you in near future...Heroin was dying,but she loved him & was ditched so badly she couldn't recover,the pain in heart she had & she showed it by acting.she made me feel her pain,& the hero made me feel from the heart,he cared about her.when went up to the tree & fell down,I thought he'll die,that's it.it was the best Indian love story I've ever watched.the robbery wasn't cool for me but love was real......Made me cry so bad I had flu later,it was an awesome love story.needs 8+ point here.amazing acting,real true love sounded to me.great story,good acting!!!

Having already read 'The Last Leaf' by O Henry, I had my doubts to its adaptation to a love story, that the story was not, around a time when India had just met its "tryst with destiny". But no worries there. Lootera emerges unscathed. Vikramaditya and his writers have created a story of their own with their own characters in a different time and setting and infused, in this love story, the emotional resonance of O. Henry's. And they did manage to create a cinematic beauty as the lyrical genius of the screenplay poetry met the master emotion love and the climax of the beautiful O. Henry story becomes the redemption of love. The pace of the story might be a problem to many, but I don't think any other pacing would have done justice to the movie. Its pace, along with the time to which the story belongs and its aesthetic cinematography, brings surrealism to the screen as the emotions and anguishes lingers in your heart like a beautiful dream just dreamt. The cast is good. Ranveer Singh seems to have done justice to his role, though sometimes I was under the impression that he needs to work on his dialogue delivery. Sonakshi Sinha is marvellous bringing the right elements in her portrayal of a naughty, innocent, love stricken daughter in the first half and an estranged and dying beauty in the second half. The music is good and the background score gives ample of time for the sounds of the nature and the stillness of the storm raging inside the hearts to suck you right into the centre of this beautiful dream. Unlike Raanjhanaa that, despite the fanatical love story, was rooted in realism, Lootera is all together a different ball game. Lootera is a story about characters you may have known or may have been yourselves and emotions that you all have felt, but it happens in a world that has a dreamlike otherworldly aura to it where things move at their own slow and languid space, where emotions stir and make ripples that subtly affects the entire canvas, where destiny and guilt dances with each other in an aching crescendo of love. Lootera is an ode to love and it is beautiful!

I don't read poems. I never understood them. But what could be more poetic than this movie ? This movie is awesome. Classic, sort of.The screenplay, direction, whatever it is - perfect. Hats Off to the Director. Who thought Ranveer and Sonakshi could do acting too ? Seriously, most people consider them as typical b'wood entertainers but they proved that, with good script, they could do well. Well Done. Oh, I am not going to talk abt the music. You guys have to listen this. It's pure raw quality music. Amit Trivedi - simply mind blowing.Love this movie. People who like watching quality movies should not miss this.
