Om denne film

The year is 1953. A visiting archaeologist called Varun Shrivastav comes to the village of Manikpur in West Bengal to excavate the temple grounds of the local Zamindar. With knowledge and experience beyond his young demeanour, Varun greatly impresses the Zamindar and his family. Especially Pakhi, the Zamindar's feisty and only daughter, who finds herself irrevocably drawn towards him.
But Varun isn't all he seems on the surface. And as the simmering attraction between him and Pakhi leads to a tender and deep love, he is forced to choose between her and his past.
Making his choice, Varun disappears. Pakhi struggles to move on with her life, determined to forget him and their relationship. Until one day, when he returns under the most extraordinary circumstances.
Inspired from O. Henry's "The Last Leaf", Lootera is the uplifting story of two lovers. Of heartbreak, betrayal... and ultimate redemption.

This is the most gut-wrenching movie I have ever seen. I began crying minutes before the end of the movie. This movie is akin to Life is Beautiful starring Roberto Benigni. Ranveer Singh is my new favorite Bollywood actor and I can't wait to see what he's capable of next. Definite tear-jerker but worth the tissues.

This is absolutely amazing, the story line is mind blowing and I cried so much through out the whole movie. I made my siblings watch it (and they don't like Hindi films) and they just loves it!

Very moving, sensitive movie about love between two star-crossed lovers. Bravo to Ranveer and Sonakshi . You see them at their best in this movie! Beautiful scenery, believable story line and great music. What more can I say? Watch it ! This is a real tear jerker so be prepared with the tissues!
