Lootera aka Masterpiece




Sometimes there is a movie called as a good movie and we revel it like a one-time watch, full paisa vasool etc because it has a plot whether in a comic way or thrill and we enjoy uncovering the contrive and ignore some of its flaws. At most other times there is a movie called a not so good movie tagged as a no time watch because of the lack of proper storyline, overacting or dismal acting, recurring plots, poor direction, over dramatic outlook, filthy scenes and senseless dance numbers. Then we have a third kind maybe one of a kind only called Lootera aka masterpiece.

Stupendous magnum opus by the director with flawless performance and mesmerising music synchronised in a flow like the sparkling morning sun over the unsullied sea waves.  A montage of paragons with poised love and emotions unbound. It seemed as an inimitable picturesque with every move speaking its heart out without even the slightest utterance. 

Lootera is a conspicuous love story of a con Varun and a sweet chirpy Pakhi. It might sound regular and usual but it is miles away from all such tags. Set in the backdrops of 1950s, the movie plays around with its era so beautifully, that one craves for the same. The other perfectly depicted elements of the movie are the ageing zamindaar and his haveli, a true friend, the cop and the scenic snow laden hilly terrain.  A full credit for this masterwork goes to the stunning cinematography and art direction with exact sound effects. 

Pakhi is a character sketch of beauty with expressions, innocence with confidence, romance with honest exuberance and a broken heart without slightest odium.  Varun alternatively is a portrayal of subtle honesty, chivalrous love, beguiling romance, unsolicited betrayal and sacrificing redemption. Both together display a unique enchanting alchemy whether of love or anger, of angst or joy, of wit or wisdom and of expressions or just silence.


You wont just see it but would feel this movie in parallel. You won't feel it because you would relate yourself with it or your fantasies but because it is so damn awesome and beautiful that you would feel it altogether.

(PS: I saw it, I felt it, I smiled, I cried what more I say I just fell in love with it)
