2.5/5
The journey towards the end is shot through with beauty, one painterly frame after another evoking admiration, but it did not touch me. And that is where Vikramaditya Motwane's film becomes a disappointing second act, after his magnificent debut Udaan. Go to Full Review

There is much to admire in this big budget Hindi film that never falls into the trappings of the 'masala' formula. Go to Full Review

Poulomi Das Arré 07/08/2019
It's a rare cinematic outing that exploits the camera and its frames to contextualize the intensity of its storytelling and the restraint of its lead performances, instead of it being the other way round. Go to Full Review

Beautifully-shot frames and a half decent score do not equal a good film if it cannot engage the audience emotionally. Go to Full Review

4/4
It's not at all trite to state that by the hauntingly bittersweet end, everything magically falls into place, for there is true magic in Motwane's mastery in crafting a such a poetic, passionately felt, and perfectly realized work of art. Go to Full Review

Faiz D May 13 Lootera is sheer brilliance. We've seen films before, but Vikramaditya Motwane shows us cinema. The direction, cinematography, music and performances are perfect. It is a 'masterpiece' that delights the senses, excites the intellect and induces emotional admiration. Lootera is a beautiful, beautiful movie. Don't miss it. See more Waniya S Jan 19 Well I cried, he really did paint a masterpiece. See more yash b 11/26/2020 "Lootera" has a different feel than many Bollywood romances because of its story and slower pace. The movie feels like two completely different movies when comparing the first half and second half. I think in that regard the movie did take some surprising directions by the time it ended. While the topics are slightly different I feel there is another better Bollywood movie that gives off a similar vibe and that is the movie, "Fanaa." This movie is slow-paced but it is done in a noticeable way in which many sequences last longer than they probably needed to. Overall, the movie has some poetic elements that are interesting, but I can't imagine myself ever watching it again. See more 03/17/2020 'Lootera' is here to stay. There are few films which linger in your mind, and fewer which stay in your heart. But the most rare species of cinema is that which takes away your heart and devours it completely. Vikramaditya Motwane's skilled passion pleasure 'Lootera' is that for me. It's one of the finest films ever seen in the Hindi cinema because of the fine chemistry and palpable energy of the leads Varun and Pakhi. A few slogging slick twists, and an out-of-place (though briskly shot) chase scenes never take out of the film it's heart melting nature. It's warmth is not hard to indulge into, and it's leads are never less than charismatic, enchanting. This is not a film. It's a feeling. Something which makes you forgive ach of it's sins. Soak into it and there's not coming back. See more 12/19/2019 It has become the love of ma life. Thank you so 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘so much to all the makers, actors & other crew related in making of this film directly or indirectly. Love you all. You taught me how to express love. Thank you 😘 See more 11/05/2018 Rating:- 4.5 / 5 This movie is one of the rarest movies which is too good for Bollywood audience. It is simply a poetry in motion. There is nothing much to talk about in terms of the story, however, the way it is presented wins your heart. Be it direction, acting, cinematography, or music, this movie aces in every department. I am not a very big fan when it comes to romantic movies because generally while showing the love directors disregard many practical aspects, but this movie shows the "LOVE" in one of the most beautiful ways. This movie might not be the cup of tea for everyone, but this is a masterpiece within itself. Do watch it for the lovely feeling of love. See more Read all reviews
