Review of Robber

Robber (I) (2013)
7/10
Lootera is a masterpiece of heart wrenching pure romance. A piece of poetry on celluloid. Something rare in the bollywood of today
6 July 2013
Lootera is a movie that takes the audience far away from the stereotyped world of sugarcoated love-making adorned with masala item numbers ... Talk of pure romance with prominent shades of an inexplicable heart wrenching tragedy mixed into it, Lootera is exactly what you should see.

Vikramaditya Motwane has just hit the hammer right on the nail with this piece of story of tragic romance set amidst a backdrop of post-independent India and Bengal of aristocratic zamindars.

Slow it was, but the right pace just set in at the end of the first half and you should not see this if you do not like slowly progressive film-making. But the beauty of romance couldn't have been explained any better than this one. Then again, on the flip side too much of over-gentle snowfall is too dreary, an occasional blizzard is necessary. That is where Lootera faltered at times and lost on the steam and pace albeit the fact, the hues of romance didn't fade away any time.

Not merely a film, but a piece of poetry on celluloid, Lootera, however is bedecked with some eye-catching astounding cinematography and some masterclass background music. Amit Trivedi in his absolute Hans Zimmer mode never seems to get it off the hook and this time it was not an exception, too ! Superlative performances from Sonakshi and Ranvir Singh intensify the fact all together that it's time teens stop drooling over unnecessary sparkle-in-the-light stuff and see movies like this, a piece of unadulterated romance which is !
