MUMBAI: Amit Trivedi had to adapt to the 50s format while composing the music of Lootera.

Vikramaditya Motwane‘s Lootera is a film based in the 50s era. Evidently it was important to get the look and feel of the era correct in the film.

It has been a huge struggle for the creators to revive the look of the era due to the rampant commercialisation over the years. "The makers have done a lot of research and gone great lengths to get the sets, the look, feel and character sketches etched out perfectly", says a source associated with the film.

One of the key aspects for the film was also the music. "The music in general sets the tone for the film and hence the makers were keen to have the composition, like the music of the old era. They were adamant to have music which is melodious and lyrical. The format of the music was top priority and they kept telling music director Amit Trivedi umpteenth number of times that the music needs to reflect that the film belongs to the Golden Era", adds the source.
