This movie is a creative masterpiece and a visual treat for the senses.Set in rural Gujrat it depicts life and love in the age of familial warfare, politics and outright murder. The best things about the movie are its props and colorful get ups, and both Ranbir Singh and Deepika do their best to portray the all engulfing emotion of love.
Life in the kothi of Supriya Pathak is just one battle after another, and pride doesnt go before a fall, in fact, the men n women acting in the movie do everything they can to maintain the status quo of a struggling long lost empire. Perhaps Sanjay Leela Bhansali is sharing his deepest secret being a Gujarati himself that familial pride is literally worth dying for.
The songs in the movie and the dance sequences r extremely entertaining, and the music is lilting. Somehow Bhansali brings to the fore every sacrificing emotion of all of us Indians who have just not learned the art of sense gratification for the self.
The movie has a realist ending in which the end of the love of the couple also leads to the end of virtue as they both take on black characters. The man who has lost his love has lost his life, and the woman who has lost her love has gained maturity; enough to take on the role of a gun toting but savage family matriarch, born all over again to fight, kill and win.
