a proficient storyteller with his directorial debut Udaan that delved into parehild relationship. With Lootera, he ventures into the trickier romantic genre. The problem with the latter bunch of films being that there is just about little that can be done with the narrative of a love story. While the core most often is the same, if not handheld with nifty treatment, there remains a strong sense of déjà-vu and nothing to distinguish it from the hordes of romantic dramas Bollywood is known to churn out every year.

Lootera is a period tale, one that unfolds around post a time of new laws, amendments leading to upheavals in the reign of Zamindari. A Bengal aristocracy Roy Chaudhary is a victim of this change. Enter Varun an archeologist who not only convinces the zamindar to let him dig around the heritage land but also charms the zamindar beloved daughter Pakhi.However in the face of riches, trust and passion, what truly lies beneath is fake identities, false hopes broken promises and more.
Sonakshi Sinha is at her finest form in her personification of Pakhi.She portrays the right measure of grace as royalty in equal balance to the disdain vulnerability in the latter part of the movie. The same unfortunately cannot be said about her co-star Ranveerwho has his dip moments a little too frequently.He appears in great disbody language exude the persona attitude or menace as is required of his character. For what was an attempt to be an epic love sage, the chemistry between the leads is colder than the Dalhousie winter, which makes us wonder if two other more mature actors wouldve done a better job at it.Barun Chandra is perfect as the doting father andc zamindar.TV actor Vikrant Massey as Ranve eaccomplice, bags some of the film lines and does impressive justice to them. Adil Husain Divya Dutta, Arif Zakaribyendu Bhattacharya, Shirin Guha among others appear in brief supporting cameyet leave strong impreslo.
