New Delhi: Even as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Ram Leela' hogs the limelight for being the latest in the line of Bollywood films to court controversies and get dragged into other wrangles for supposedly hurting the religious sentiments of those who believe in Hindu mythology, movie buffs's eagerness remains unaffected.
Yes, the film may have set off heated discussions, an outright ban order which was rejected by Delhi HC, and urged director Sanjay to replace provocative words, but every dispute is helping 'Ram Leela' make buzz and encourage people to watch it to make their own judgments. So while the film's so-called controversial content perpetuates discussions, it also guarantees its financial success.
Set against the backdrop of revenge, goons and a feud between the families of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, 'Ram Leela' sets out to explore formidable problems the lovers combat to realise their dream. While Ram, the desi Romeo, plays a brat who disapproves of love and brutality, Leela, as SLB had said in one of his interviews, epitomizes beauty, fire and light.
As the promos suggest,'Ram Leela', which is set in the rustic Gujarat, is an entertainer which includes all key elements - romance, action, comedy. And the fact that the crackling chemistry between Ranveer and Deepika has become the talk of the town, the director hasn't missed the mark in picking his lead. So whether it is about gelling well, looking comfortable during intimate scenes, and being funny or genuine even as they open to the throes of dejection and angst, the actors' on-screen rapport makes their performance so believable.
Will 'Ram Leela', which offers glimpses of 'Hum Dil Chuke Sanam' be as popular as Aishwarya Rai-Salman Khan's romantic drama? Will Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for creating a distinctive world for each of his films, do the same for 'Ram Leela? Will the film's intensity, drama and backdrop make it a much-appreciated piece of art? Divya Pal of IBNLive is inside the theater to find this out.
