Lootera

The year is 1953. Varun Shrivastay, a visiting archaeologist, visits the village of Manikpur in West Bengal to excavate the temple grounds of the local Zamindar. With knowledge and experience beyond his years, Varun greatly impresses the Zamindar and his family, especially Pakhi, the Zamindar's feisty only daughter, who finds herself irrevocably drawn towards him.

Varun isn’t all he seems on the surface, however, and, as the simmering attraction between him and Pakhi leads to a passionate romance, he is forced to choose between her and his past.

Inspired from O. Henry’s “The Last Leaf”, Lootera is the uplifting story of two lovers. Of heartbreak, betrayal... and ultimate redemption.
