Their chemistry demands a special mention as the film wouldn’t even have neared the epic mark if the two hadn’t been so scintillating at their work. She looks breathtaking in most scenes to her credit and more than her fiery nature and robust character, she gives Leela elegance and strength in equal measures. It is becoming a norm that every time you see Deepika on screen, you feel she has become better than her last stint. I have never been a fan of his acting but the gusto and the energy with which he plays every scene, every frame is so effervescent that he is nothing short of superlative.ĭeepika Padukone matches Ranveer’s brilliance with her own fiesty and enthusiastic performance. Born into a violent family with warring opponents, he gives Ram a lingering charm. Somehow Ram-Leela validates the same so convincingly that for the climax and the sprightly chemistry of its lead pair, the film stands undefeated. For someone of this generation, it is hard to understand why and how Romeo and Juliet dying for love is justified. Involving violence and bloodshed, the love of Ram-Leela simmers subtly amidst rage, love, frenzy and passion.

In a land where guns speak more than words, the younger ones of two feuding families fall for each other. To quote Emile Bronte, the best words to describe Ram-Leela’s chemistry would be, “Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” Ram and Leela especially are so different from each other but they share the same tenacity and vigor. Scriptwriters Bhansali along with Siddharth and Garima have done a fantastic job in sketching out ferocious characters with well etched out characteristics. It is incredible how the most outrageous story that for me doesn’t really define love can be weaved out with such marvel and impeccable passion. Though it isn’t possible to gauge or analyse them, the film spins off an enormous impact. While watching it I felt a gush of myriad fervid emotions. Luckily for us, Ramleela is one tremendously intense film. It begins with a whiff of color unlike the gloom we associate Bhansali’s films with. This film is definitely another enigmatic yet cryptic work from Bhansali. Shakespeare would quite appreciate the imaginative vein of Bhansali’s work in Ramleela. Since the last adaptation of Romeo And Juliet in Bollywood was Issaq, I chided myself for being unable to fathom the caliber of Bhansali and underestimating him so gravely. I frankly did not go in expecting any of it. Indianizing it with intelligence, the script manages to infuse in a spellbinding originality. Set on the backdrop of Gujarat, the film is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s imaginative take on Shakespeare’s most popular play Romeo and Juliet.
