The big problem with experimental films is that it is a kind of gamble, so the dangers that Rajamouli took in India are rare. So this time the risk was taken on the movie which was already made in Germany, 'Run Lola Run'. The story was an official remake, so there was no problem with the story, yet the director had to hire four writers to properly adapt the story to the Indian environment, so the backdrop Goa was chosen so that there would be no problem in retaining the foreign style. But in spite of this, many times you feel that it is a crap movie, get up, stop... then it seems that somewhere, let's see what happens in the climax. Why do you find this movie to be rubbish in the middle, the reason is its title- 'Loop Lapeta', now it can be understood in detail only after watching the movie.

Simple story

The story is about a girl Savi (Taapsee Pannu) who tries to get her average idiot boy friend Satya out of a strange 'time bound' difficulty. That is, if 50 lakh rupees are not arranged in 50 minutes, then Satyajit's Ram Naam is true. It is a very simple story of such a line, but the loop that is wrapped in it seems that you will have to face every incident many times.

Bhagam Bhag in the film

So there is nothing in the story, but the characters are enough, Savi has a father who is gay, a taxi driver Robert, whose girlfriend Julia is getting married, a police inspector who comes in Savi's way every time. Jaya, a jeweler whose two sons want to rob her, a don who sends Satya to deliver 50 lakhs, Savi has an uncle who doesn't speak, and Savi's (Taapsee) house has a bathroom in which There is a mirror above the toilet seat, in front of which the story starts every time with the scene of Taapsee taking drugs.

Focused on youth

Now since it was not easy to adapt to the Indian environment, the entire movie was focused on the youth and the style was taken from Imran Khan's movie 'Delhi Belly'. The songs were written, filmed in the same youthful style. You will also like two or three songs including the title song. The most interesting was to take the story of Satyavan Savitri - that's why Taapsee's name is Savi and Tahir Bhasin's name is 'Satya'. Yes, there is less abuse from Delhi Belly, but in the same way, there is definitely a rush to deliver the packet.

The film rests on three steps

The movie is just standing on 3 ranks, first Taapsee Pannu, second - connecting it with the youth and third trying to give more 'visual experience' than the story, so a lot of hard work has been done on editing and cinematography. But the general audience hardly liked it. Many people can leave this movie even within half an hour because the scenes have been composed in such a way, which does not even seem like a situational comedy, but the director is seen as a webkook. In such a situation, it seems that the film has become a khichdi in the process of making an Indian remake.

Taapsee took the risk

So if you like experiments, want to watch something different, are a fan of Taapsee Pannu then this movie is for you. You don't take risk, but seeing this movie, it definitely seems that Taapsee too is in a mood to do more experimentation films like Kangana, so if her risk is there, it's your choice.
