Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela has each and everything that you expect in a Sanjay Bhansali film. Picture perfect frames, huge colourful sets, beautiful heavy costumes, emotions, poetic lines and melodrama. It’s a spectacular show!
The film is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set in Gujarat (India). The film opens with a weird gun battle between some trigger happy people and that’s what sets the ball rolling. Fire arms are easily available in this village where Ram (Ranveer Singh) and Leela (Deepika Padukone) live. They belong to two different clans, Rajadi and Sanada that have live together but are at war and have been for the past 500 years.
Bhansali himself has given the music and maybe that’s the reason you see one song after another from the start till the end. But I must add that the songs are not bad and they are so beautifully shot that you enjoy them. Deepika’s dance performances in most of the songs are breathtaking.
