Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Hindi term or phrase: lutoo | the guy is explaining to his wife what his competitor is like:
“Some dehati family in the middle of the cornfield,” Harish-Harry told his wife.
“And you should see this fellow they are showing off about—what a lutoo. He looks like something you would use to break down the door.”
what exactly does lutoo mean, please? |

Hard to be sure what the word actually is.
luttoo (spelled latoo, luttoo, luttu, etc) actually means top (the toy) - something that spins. "Luttoo hona" (to become a luttoo) means to be be infatuated. The film Ghajini's smash hit song luttoo - see it here

your comment just suggests: the turkish for "top" is also used to describe tricksters, which seems to fit in well
