The day I came to know that
Vikramaditya Motwane is making “Lootera” with Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha
in lead – I thought it’s going to be a disaster for he has surely picked up a
wrong leading lady for the role. His debut movie was super awesome “Udaan”
which was totally loved by public and critics. It’s amazing how he proved my
prediction go wrong and I regret skipping it on big screen even after getting
high recommendation from some trusted friends. WOW! I must say what a fantastic
movie which starts on a very low profile and subtle note and kept me hooked
till the very end and even the finale left me with a solid lump in the throat
feeling – I was having my lunch and almost couldn’t finish it as it was such an
overwhelming feeling. Although it’s partially inspired by “O Henry’s story –
the last leaf” which we all have read in our school English reader – I am sure
of that. Still it works big time on screen, superb is the way both the leads
pulled off their characters – I had my full trust on Ranveer Singh but Sonakshi
totally shocked and surprised me with her expressions, body language and what
not. Even the story is so simple yet damn good that we were engrossed from the
very first scene and it keeps throwing one card after another and the Director
keeps the trump card for superb ending – by the time we realized where it’s
going – we were already there and then there was no looking back. This should
be another one of the best love stories told in its own subtle way by any
bollywood movie and as it almost gave me a feeling that this movie may be
called as today’s generations “QSQT” it had that impact on me. I guess the
expectations from the Director for his next movies will be doubled now as he
has surely bettered his own previous work by two folds this time, it’s as
engaging as was “Udaan” and I will definitely rate it one notch higher for
sure. My ratings – a damn good 4/5 with two thumbs up – I am definitely looking
forward to the original DVD and will keep it in my collection for future
viewings. A must watch – just in case you missed it earlier like I did.
