Lootera (/luːˈteɪrɑː/; transl. Robber) is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language period romantic drama film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and the second half is based on author O. Henry's 1907 short story The Last Leaf. It is the second film directed by Motwane after the critically acclaimed Udaan (2010). Set in the 1950s, against the backdrop of the Zamindari Abolition Act by the newly independent India, it tells the story of a young conman posing as an archaeologist and the daughter of a Bengali zamindar. The film stars Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh in lead roles. Produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap and Vikas Bahl,[4] the film features music and background score by Amit Trivedi with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and cinematography by Mahendra J. Shetty.[5]
Lootera received positive reviews upon release, with particular praise directed towards Sinha and Singh's performance, thus proving to be a breakthrough for the latter.[6] Many consider the film a commercial flop, but in a later interview, Motwane said that "nobody lost money on that film. It’s just that the fact that being Ranveer Singh’s next film or Sonakshi Sinha’s next film, there were expectations of a Rs 30 crore weekend, but it didn’t happen."[7]
At the 59th Filmfare Awards, Lootera received 4 nominations, including Best Actress (Sinha), and won Best Female Playback Singer (Monali Thakur for "Sawaar Loon").
