Many in India haven't watched run Lola run (nor had even heard of it till this film was announced) and basically are reading the Wikipedia page and pasting the story here to make you believe they watched the film and are insulting this film. It's wrong, beware of such reviewers.
Let's first appreciate the way this film is shot. The weird camera angles and edits give it a fresh feel, different from mainstream cinema. Full marks there for trying something unique even in a remake.
What works well is the humor that the characters bring in especially the duo of Appu-Gappu and their scenes at the jewelry shop brings in the maximum laughs . Savi's little interactions with the paralyzed old man too made me chuckle.
However, the most important thing in this film itself is average, the thrill! The overall film has so many pit stops especially that Shreya Dhanwanthary angle is so boring it kills the thrill completely. The overall film failed to really hold on to my attention at a continuous stretch. If you have seen Maanaadu, you will realize how well they kept us engaged as the events occurring there in each loop were interesting but in this case of Loop Lapeta, the events in the 3 loops are barely interesting to hold on to your attention. Only the robbery one does attract attention.
Illogical moments are filled in this film. How is a girl with knee injury running like a normal sprinter? Even after a terrible car crash, all of its 3 passengers including Savi escape with minor injuries, Savi just gets a minor cut on her head that's it and she's back to sprinting ? Where is the logic???
Performances. The dudes who play Appu-gappu were the best. Tahir ranks 2nd while Tapsee is average.
There is even a small Easter egg towards the last 20 mins (a reference to the original film). If you failed to catch that, don't come here saying "I have watched run Lola run" cuz I am pretty sure many haven't they just see the Wikipedia page story and paste it here in the reviews to insult this film.
Overall, a film good for one time watch. Watch it for the brilliant cinematography and editing .
