It has left me with some indelible scenes which are sheer poetry, but this is one of those films that I wanted to like much more than I did.

As much as I’d like to reward Lootera for it’s craft I firmly believe that films can only win you over with the ability to tell a story. And this is where Lootera falters. It allows you to drift away. And this is why Udaan, despite struggling on the technical front with its 16 mm camera and stark walls, will always be an exceptional and better film.
