Ram Leela bears all the hallmarks of a Bhansali magnum opus. Lovers in heat, high on testosterone & trigger happy, fall in instant love & lust defying warring communities of Rajadis & Sanedos and there’s loads of tension.
So here are the ’bullet’ points:
SLB effortlessly splashes colors of gunfire, gulaal & garba on the screen (*bau saras*). Ranveer as ‘Ram’ flaunts his abs, flirts with his Leela & delivers endearingly Gujju-tone lines grabbing every bit of your ** attentions (Bhaai-Bhaai)**. Deepika drops inhibitions & bullets with equal ease breaking into a garba and making out at every given opportunity( or the lack of it). Supriya Pathak who plays the bullet crazy *Ba*(‘Dhankor’) injects enough venom into this hot-bloodied *raas-leela*.
While this one’s surely got more libido and loins than Bhansali’s previous loves stories, Ram-Leela is one Romeo-Juliet adaptation that has more power than Gujarat’s *goti*-soda that doesn’t fizzle out too soon.
Ambe ma ni kasam, go for it!
