Lootere

Lootere is one of the best movies of 1993 after blockbusters like Khalnayak, Darr, Baazigar, Damini and Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke.

The movie is deftly handled by debutant director Dharmesh Darshan. It tells the story of a cop Karan (Sunny Deol) and his lady love Anjali (Juhi Chawla) whom he tries to save against all odds. The climax of the movie centers around how the hero saves his girl and beats the baddies black and blue including the central villain Changez Lala (Anupam Kher) to death.

The story is well told but the action scenes must be applauded. The credit for this of course goes to Sunny Deol, the one with 'dai kilo ka haath'. He was brilliant throughout the rest of the movie. Juhi Chawla sheds her girl-next-door image with Lootere and transforms into Bollywood sex siren with 'Main Teri Rani Tu Raja Mera' song. Chunkey Pandey gets his comic timing and does it pretty well. Naseeruddin Shah is competitive enough. Anupam Kher does his oft-repeating role of a bad guy again but appears menacing as ever. The rest of the cast are okay.

The songs in the film are pleasing to the ears. The title track is the one to die for. 'Main Teri Rani Tu Raja Mera', 'Ae Sawan Baras Zara', and 'Mujhe Le Chal Mandir' are also worth listening to.

Overall, a good time-pass flick. You can watch it with your family and enjoy the action moments. Go for it!

Lootere is an excellent (multistarrer) action movie with Sunny Deol as one of the three heroes, and that a cop too. The film is very well handled, and it has tons of mind-blowing action and thrills to keep you at the edge of your seat. Everyone does well in this film, and it is this aspect along with loads of action that makes this action flick worth watching. The story is interestingly told, and how the heroes save the day and vanquish the baddies is superbly done. Lootere is one of the best Desi action films of the early '90s. If you like to see nonstop action and thrills with lots of blood and gore, then watch this movie, especially for Sunny Deol. Enjoy!!

This movie is worth watching for Sunny Deol's fans Story is about a cop who is given the task of protecting a witness against the city don but soon falls in love with her. It also focuses on the underworld scene in Bombay and the police trying to thwart the same.

The good - the concept, acting on the part of Sunny Deol, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, the action scenes, some dialogs, few songs, the locales of the movie.

The bad - some foul language,some unnecessary semiclad females, some overacting on the part of Chunky Pandey, who tries to be an aggressive and funny young man but does it too much.

The movie has nothing too special, but like I said before....it's a treat for Sunny fans
