Bhansali Production Design by Wasiq Khan Music by Mr. Bhansali, Garima and Siddharth (based on Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) Cinematography by Ravi Varman Editing by Rajesh G. Bhansali, Chetan Deolekar, Kishore Lulla and Sandeep Singh. It would have simply been an instant classic.ĭirected by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Produced by Mr. If the cinematic maven would have stuck to the former, the film’s attraction wouldn’t only have to rely on superficial physical lure, and later, the tendency to go bloody boom. Bhansali’s frames, as he makes “Ram-Leela” a deliberate cross-breed between “Hum Dil De Chukay Sanam” and “Devdas”. Bhansali’s film has a disarming flair for theatricality, from the word go: in his town gun stalls are set-up like grocery stands and ammunition is stored in everything from achaar jars, flour drums and front bonnets of rusty cars.

The Saneras “Juliet” is Deepika Padukone’s Leela, whose natural beauty scarcely measures up to her primed carnal sense (lips are locked whenever the two hone in on each other). Ram played by Ranveer Singh, the local “Romeo” (the roadside kind, with a tinge of Disney’s Aladdin) with a sweet trimmed physique and a lack of body-hair, is from the Rajadis.

The reasons behind their grudge is never fleshed out, but whatever it is, I can guess that it will be as single dimensioned and soft-cored as the immediate physical attraction between Ram and Leela. The town is divided by five hundred year old rivals: the Rajadis and Saneras – two local gangs who rarely do anything nasty (I didn’t see one kidnapping, assassination or any other misdeed from anyone).
