Somewhere in Rajasthan, there are a pair of warring families, and while even a typical Sarpunch-and-Judy show can be a blast despite the cliches surrounding it, this one plays out like a bad street-play with an unjustly fantastic budget. Performers like Supriya Pathak and Gulshan Devaiah are reduced to cardboard caricatures and hamming, and the ever-effective Richa Chaddha isn’t given elbow room. Speaking of which, GKRR marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s discovery of arms and ammunition, one that leads to his attempting dialogue more suited to Anurag Kashyap: the result is very poor indeed, awful rhymes alternated with soap-operatic exposition. Her hero might carry a water pistol, but this Leela packs the guns. She looks like a million bucks, however, and so resplendent is Padukone with screen presence that it feels like watching Angelina Jolie in a bad film - ie, it’s all pointless, but there is something worth staring at. She sells some of the dialogue impressively, but stumbles over the tu-tadaak overfamiliarity thrust onto her by the script, and performs the way SLB likes his ladies to: when she’s happy, she’s too happy horny, too horny sad, too pouty. Quite handle the sheer, relentless raunch the part demands. Singh pushes himself but the part is too imbecilic, and he only does well when falling down and looking up at the camera - simply because it reminds us of his lovely Lootera.ĭeepika Padukone plays his gal, Leela, a cleavage-thrusting princess who looks absolutely luminous but can’t He also speaks like a character written for Satish Kaushik in a David Dhawan movie, all poor puns and weird vocal tics and very lame dialogue.
He throws in the dhak-dhak dance step, for example, and later appears oiled up and wearing a dhoti tied lower than Shilpa Shetty would a sari. Ranveer Singh, he of that dandruff song, plays Ram, and he does so head and shoulders more effeminately than you've seen any Hindi film hero. Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela - an acronym of which unfailingly reminds me of Greater Kailash Residential associations - is a monstrously excessive film with a riot of colours, a girl who looks very pretty indeed and a daft hero, but despite that being the warning on the tin whenever you attempt (foolhardily) to buy into a Bhansali product, this can’t be what you bargained for. May the brilliant Bhardwaj sic his bloodhounds upon you, foul fakers.
RAM LEELA MOVIE MOVIE
Habib Faisal made the terrific Do Dooni Chaar and then gave us link to review the disgusting Ishaqzaade Manish Tiwary made the interesting Dil Dosti Etc and then gave us the unwatchable Issaq and finally Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who once made the impressive Khamoshi, has turned up a movie with a title almost as grotesque as its contents. In the last year and a half, three directors (who have previously made one good film each) have tried to tell the classic tale of Romeo And Juliet and fatally floundered, creating painful works worthy of great embarrassment. Or, to be fair, why must directors overreach as they aim for instant literary endorsement? Why must Bollywood try to claw vainly at the works of The Bard?
Set in a land of guns, vengeance against a magnificent musical backdrop, Ram and Leela fight the world to live their own dreams.According to Raja Sen, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela is an overplotted, bloody mess.
When Ram and Leela see each other for the first time, their worlds collide, wars are fought and destinies are written in blood, forever. The two communities have been sworn enemies since the past 500 years and their own kin falling in love with each other is worse than any storm that could have ever come. The only thing in common between these two strangers is their families’ hatred for each other. Ram, the local village Romeo, is a colorful, charming yet dramatic vagabond whereas Leela is an unbridled and passionate village Juliet. Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela movie is a romantic-drama said to be an adaptation of Shakespeare's epic love story Romeo and Juliet, set in violent times. Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela was initially titled Ram-Leela but was changed to Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela in response to an order by the Delhi High Court.
