It's just yesterday when I had a chance
to watch 'Lootera' a new Bollywood period romantic drama film
directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. I liked the sincerity of the plot
in the story which captivates viewers. The film stars Ranveer Singh
and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles have done a commendable job. At
least, Sonakshi Sinha whose skills were not proven as an actress of
this stature in any of the films , though big budget hit films with
Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, etc, has gone a mile with her different
outlook in the movie.
But this is not the agenda to pen this
post. The agenda is based on the media articles which said 'Lootera'
is a Mills & Boons story. I disagree. The movie is rather serious
and is partly based on author O. Henry's 1907 short story The Last
Leaf. The film is different from many Hindi movies and grabs the
thread required for a movie to attain a respectable stature in the
world cinema.
I expected that film-makers give credit
to the classical story-teller O Henry for his story. It's fair to
take inspirations from a masterpiece but a line of credit is often
required.
However, I didn't like the background
music in the last scenes of the movie. It wasn't in sync with the sad
or inspirational tone of the latter part.
