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

It's about the struggle between love and life... while one has no love for life, other is all life for love. Within early minutes of this setup, you'll know this can come only from the brightest kid at "Anurag Kashyap School of Filmmaking" who scored an A+ in his last, Udaan (2010).

Lootera reminds you of the time you have wondered, why people fall in love despite themselves.

In spite of all that good karma, this film still comes in at just about average. The pace is slow and plodding, and the romantic chemistry is missing. I hear the film being lauded as a masterpiece. So be it. Only it is a masterpiece which failed to move me.
