Catch the first song of ‘Lootera’

Director Vikramaditya Motwane has re-created the magic of bygone era in the film Lootera, and has cast Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh together for the first time. It’s been quite a while since we saw the film’s trailer; of course, after watching it the first song was eagerly awaited.

So, here it is -- Sawar Loon -- the first song of Lootera in the saccharine sweet voice of the Indian Idol fame Monali Thakur, picturized on the beautiful Sonakshi Sinha and the debonair Ranveer Singh. Unlike the lingering somberness of the trailer, the video of Sawar Loon has a rapturous feel.

The song also gives you the little storyline of how the two lovers meet for the first time, because the video starts with a few dialogues between Ranveer and Sonakshi. Yes, it’s love at first sight for the two, and the song focuses on their growing fondness for each other.

Sawar Loon is composed by the talented Amit Trivedi, and the composition is a far cry from the contemporary Bollywood romantic songs as it takes heavily from the melodies of the 60s and evokes a sense of nostalgia.

The less said the better! Watch the sweet-silent love blossoming between Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh in the song Sawar Loon from Lootera:
