Lootere

Lootere is an action crime series directed by jai mehta.

One of the strongest points of the serues is its steady hold on its narrative. The events take its time, the politics come into light and the writing keeps a track of the events.

The actors have done a splendid job. Starting from rajat kapoor and chandan roy sanyal to the african actors. Martial batchamen tchana as barkhad will interest you with his demeanor. He did a fabulous job. The other actors too were superb. Vivek gomber, though looked a fish out of water to me. His bursts of frustration seemed artificial. However, he got better as the series went on. But there was a layer of rust in his portrayal.

The film explores the political landscape of somalia pretty well, the dealings of terrorist organizations and its linkage with politics is also dealt with subtlety. The background music is terrific, of course when done by achint thakkar, the man behind the riveting score of scam 1992. There are some subplots which take time and test your patience, but once invested it keeps you engaged.

This is one of the best Indian webseries in the recent year to come out so far.

The story revolves around a ship being hijacked by Pirates and the story unfolds from there. Being set in Africa, the acting and depiction and coverage of Africa is superb. Each episode has a lot of drama, action and masala!

The direction, visualizaton and production is top notch.

The whole series is filled with twists and turns and you will be hooked on from the first episode.

The acting of Vikrant Gandhi played by Vivek Gomber, and all the Somalian actors is too good.

This is a must watch series! Can't wait for Season 2.

As a veteran Mariner myself who has sailed in Somalian waters multiple times, I can vouch for the authenticity of the story...

Kudos to the Director & Producers who amassed the courage to put up a show of such a high calibre & especially in Hindi...

Hindi Entertainment Industry is indeed maturing for the better & Hindi audience need to shown stories like this...

I am overlooking some parts of over dramatisation but overall the cinematography captures the essence of the story...

Highly recommended to everyone but try not to watch this Webseries with your Kids...

Superb performance by whole team...

Another Hansal Mehta series! The story revolves around Pirates of Somalia hijacking a navy ship. It starts with an evil plan of an ambitious man to succeed leading to the hijack of the ship and eventually his own greediness ruins him off with everything. Does have about 8 series with an average time of 40 mins each. Series doesn't bore for sure but it's quite messed up though with too many sub plots. But showcases the intricacies of crew men, pirates of Somalia, inter continental politics etc making plot look realistic. However, ending was so bad that it ruined the entire series. Had a real potential of being an impactful hijack drama but misses out due to lengthier dragged execution. Available in all South Indian languages including Hindi in Disney Hotstar. My ratings 6/10!

Good things first- The opening title and the background music is top notch and pleasure to the eyes as well as ears. The film set was authentic and good. Rajat kapoor outshines the season.

Thats all for the good, rest everything is bad, no depth in the story, anyone killing anyone for no reason with no background to it.

This story could have easily be told in 3 episode. Why the hell is Mudit hanging on the rope? Why? Everyone in the story is a turncoat, wtf.

Maha overacting by the protagonist, angry for no reason at all. Story does not feel a smooth flow at all, you will keep hitting these block as in 'now why is this happening' , n then 'what,why,how?'. Pathetic storytelling. I watched it because of that Samay Raina podcast and Hansal sir's stamp .

Jai really need to learn a lot from his dad.
