Loot

“I have a master plan to rob a bank, what say?” A Haku Kale’s dialogue while he tries to gather associates for his plan to rob a bank and become rich overnight. A simple married man with a small son who owns a small restaurant is out to become rich by robbing a bank. He is so determined to become rich that he just needs five months and start a new wealthy life. He cannot complete the job on his own so he sets off to the streets of the city to fill in the needed human resources in his soon to be association. He is in need of four accomplices to rob the bank and gradually makes a team of five including himself as the boss.

The first one of the four that he brings in is a small time felon. He sells small amount of hashish and marijuana to tourists and leads his life. Slowly he had been starting to deal with small arms and ammunitions too. He has never thought of becoming rich because he lives his life as it is. Soon he meets Haku and is lured to become rich by robbing a bank.

The second one is a guy who gambles a lot and works as a bouncer in a restaurant. He however likes to upgrade his life. He wants to buy a motorcycle but sadly gets into financial trouble. At some point he nearly gets himself killed by a group of thugs whom he owes some money. Haku Kale out of nowhere comes to his rescue and finally another member is admitted to his gang.

The third and the forth are room-mates living in the capital sharing a room and are unemployed. One of them is in desperate need of money because the girl he loves comes from a decent and wealthy background. Haku Kale meets them in his restaurant and convinces them to join the gang.

Finally Haku Kale forms a gang. They are now ready to rob the bank and become rich. How will they complete the job? The whole movie is a must watch.

Nothing is extraordinary in the movie but something is definitely there. The dialogue has crossed all the previous barriers set in movies and local derogatory and slangs have been used however the film board has censored many such dialogues. The story line is good and there’s no flaw in acting. Most of the actors do not belong to the mainstream film industry but they have done justice to their characters. Unlike in any other commercial movies where the hero and heroine hold their hands and dance in the parks or rain, “Loot” doesn’t have such scenes but it does have a couple of songs which are beautifully woven suiting the theme.

A must watch movie “Loot”.
