Looop Lapeta

I was eagerly waiting for this movie since I saw the trailer. It surely has a brilliant concept, although it's a remake of German cult Run Lola Run. But this movie is completely Indianized. A large section of people are hating it just because it stars Tapsee pannu. But look beyond all that and appreciate the art. It's technically brilliant, beautifully shot. Cinematography, art, production design, music is great. It does have it's flaws as well. People may find Time loop thrillers boring due to its repetitive nature of events in the movie, this movie suffers a bit there but that's compensated by the wackiness of the characters and the way their whole world is shown to us. Tapsee is great to watch, but Tahir Raj Bhasin steals the show. Also noteworthy to mention the characters of two brothers, they've done a great job. Even if it's a remake, it's still better as a genre concept. It's not a masterpiece, but it should be viewed as it is. Once you get sucked into the world of these characters, it's a great ride. This movie can be put with the likes of Kaalakandi, Delhi belly, Mard ko Dard nahi hota, etc. Hindi film industry needs to make such kind of movies more.

Looop Lapeta review :

The Hindi phrase - 'Nakkal mein bhi akkal chahiye' - well applies to this tripe of a film which is an official remake of the German hit Run Lola Run (1998). The original was about a young lady named Lola who must get a bagload of money in fifty minutes flat to save her boyfriend or else he will rob a store resulting in a fatal consequence. We see the same situation unfold thrice but with different consequences each time depending on Lola's reaction in each scenario.

The Hindi adaptation titled Looop Lapeta (with an extra o) is very much the same thing. Only it is presented in a highly confusing and boring manner. Unlike the German original, the pace here is shockingly slow and the constant flashbacks and flashforwards may have appeared 'cool' to the makers but it makes Loop Lapeta a totally disjointed fare which the audience just cannot connect to. As for that needless Satyavan- Savitri analogy, it appears just as casual and dumb as the male lead narrates it. It is indeed a mockery of our mythology, no less!!

Taapsee Pannu, as the desi Lola, is churning out the same two expressions in film after film. Offlate, the actor is becoming monotonously bland and needs to get her act together fast and quick. Unfortunately, choices like Loop Lapeta will only make it difficult for her!!

I'm simply fed up of Bollywood's petty remakes. Where is the originality? Looop Lapeta is another lame remake of a very entertaining German thriller 'Run Lola Run'. Even the dialogues are the same; they've translated the German dialogues in Hindi without even thinking for a second that they don't seem to fit the Indian context.

Tahir deserves better movies/shows.

I really enjoyed the film, it successfully creates wacky, fun, thrilling ride and keeps you super glued to your screen. I know it's a remake of Run Lola Run, but still one needs to adapt the film in your environment and time frame, the director perfectly done his job in this regard. Tahir and Tapsee are on point in the film. Here and there you find some easter eggs and homages, these are note worthy.

The monolog of Shneha Dhanwantry and the two brothers Appu and Gappu are the other highlights of the film. I need to congratulate it's technical team for the efforts they make for this film, it is very praiseworthy. Keep looking for your next venture Mr. Akash Bhatia, your Edger Wright style of filmmaking is phenomenal.

I always admire the choices of Tapsee, despite her hits and misses.

I didn't watch the Original German film. But this movie seems meaningless plot. Only time pass. Netflix hindi making totally scrap nowadays. I think Indian Bengali films got better plot. Netflix should try Bengali film.
