Visually the film stuns with its detail. The frames, the setting (Dalhousie, Bengal), the cinematography has been done with utmost care and is one of Lootera’s triumphs. The film’s music has charm and melody and full credit to Amit Trivedi for rising to the challenge of attempting to create music from a bygone era.
Above all though, the film scores because of its sterling performances. Not just the lead pair, but the character artists too make an impact in their small yet significant parts. Special mention must be made of both Vikrant Massey as Varun’s over protective friend Devdas, and Adil Hussain as Inspector K N Singh.

The Zamindar and her daughter gets very much impressed by the knowledge that Vijay seems to have and they offer him and his friend a space in their large mansion and both Vijay and his friend who is also his so called assistant start living there. As the time goes by, both Vijay and Pakhi Roy start falling in love with each other. Pakhi Roy thinks that Vijay is a well educated archaeologist who has a lot of knowledge in different fields. Her father also likes Vijay very much. Since the time depicted in the movie is of about the year 1953 which was just after the independence of sub-continent from British Colonial, the Government of India suddenly passes a new rule due to which the Zamindar's power as a landlord would reduce. Therefore, Zamindar decides to sell his belongings which also includes ancient artifacts. When Vijay comes to know this, he arranges for the seller who agrees to give a handsome price for those artifacts. Soon afterwards, Vijay proposes to Pakhi Roy who accepts the proposal and their wedding preparations start.

✔ My Movie Review - Conclusion

The movie "Lootera" has a very nice message that love can melt even a thief for whom the Police is looking outside but that thief wants to protect his love from the diseases that he caused by ditching her earlier. The filming sequence is very nice and the story has been executed very well on the screen. The film is very simple and straight but has its own attraction. The acting of Ranveer Singh and Sonkashi Sinha was outstanding in the movie. The much required songs in the movie are not many but are good and have become famous in the Indian Music Industry. The movie depicts that love has no boundaries and all of us need love at some point of our lives. Sometimes, breaking someone's heart can bring bad luck and the same has been shown in the movie. The Director and Producer have executed the movie pretty well and the same factor has made the movie famous in the Indian Cinema. The movie was regarded as one of the best movies produced and released in Indian Cinema in 2013.
