About Lootera
Lootera is set against the 1950s backdrop. The romantic drama tells the tale of a charming young man, Varun Shrivastav (Ranveer Singh), who has a chance encounter with an aspiring young writer, Pakhi Roy Choudhury (Sonakshi Sinha). What starts as a pleasant love story soon turns grim as Pakhi discovers that the man she loves, aka Varun, is actually a conman.
Lootera explores the themes of love, heartbreak, betrayal and deception. It is touted to be one of Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha's finest performances. The movie is loosely based on the 1907 short story The Last Leaf by O. Henry.
