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!!

Run viewers run!!!
Sorry run Lola run
Sameer lodaya
The movie is inspired by a cult movie Run Lola run where time runs ahead and in loop
The concept picked was new and unique but the execution was pathetic and did not create the magic of run Lola run..Indian viewers are ready to accept new theories but should be made accordingly..here it was irritating as the character designs were really stupid and mindless..the humour created was very kiddish which did not helped the movie..both taapsee and Tahir looked ugly and acted stupid
It would be interesting if they would had made in simpler way and could had executed the time loop in Indian touch rather than giving the retro effect
Good it was released on ott.
TERRIBLE FILM
COMPLETE WASTE OF TALENT!
Tapsee and Raj who are such good artistes were wasted in this senseless movie. Nothing was good about this film,be it the acting,direction or screenplay! Movies like these are so awful that it's an absolute blessing for these filmmakers that OTT is present to save from theatre releases where they will struggle to survive 1 week.
2/10.
