Bollywood is no exception, with movies based on the iconic story being made almost every decade.
The story has been adapted, remade, retold and rewritten far too many times to count. This should become an industry standard.Romeo and Juliet is an undeniable classic that has set the benchmark for tragic romance stories for centuries. It allows those who don’t understand Hindi to get the gist of the song’s subject matter, but then be able to focus on the dancing. The crew responsible for the English subtitles made a smart decision to subtitle the first verse and chorus of each song, but not subsequent verses.
RAM LEELA HINDI MOVIES FULL
It offers the full Bollywood experience, while presenting a familiar story. Ram-Leela is great for newcomers to Hindi films. I appreciate Bhansali’s decision to re-imagine Romeo and Juliet as an all-out Bollywood spectacle, with sequences ranging from frequent dance breaks to a slow-mo fight scene in which body-slammed victims send up volcanic plumes of dust. The music and dancing (especially Padukone’s) is very good, and only the movie’s lone item number - starring Priyanka Chopra - feels out-of-place. The garden at the Sanera palace - the setting for the famous balcony scene - is stunning.īhansali also composed the music for the film, and as a result, Ram-Leela features a lot of well-integrated dance numbers. Major plot points occur against the backdrops of colorful festivals. Like all of Bhansali’s films, Ram-Leela is great looking. The Sanera clan is led by Leela’s mother, Dhankor (Supriya Patak Kapur), who is ruthless and terrifying. Both Leela’s and Ram’s sisters-in-law (played by Richa Chadda and Barkha Bisht, respectively) influence the destiny of the central romance and the town as a whole. In another refreshing update, the female characters are the power players in Ram-Leela. She’s sexually aggressive, initiating the couple’s first kiss and telling Ram, “I want you.” Leela evolves from a bratty princess into a force within her family. Padukone is sensational as Leela, and the character is especially well-written. By the end of the film, he’s mostly glum and passive. Singh’s Ram is initially more fun than a traditional Romeo, but he loses his spirit as the obstacles to his romance with Leela mount. Adults in the audience will appreciate the chemistry between the lead couple. Keep that in mind if you’re considering bringing your kids to the theater. Had Ram-Leela been rated by the MPAA, it would’ve been rated PG-13 or R. Singh and Padukone are an extremely sexy pair. It makes for an interesting examination of the public aspect of romantic relationships. Both Ram and Leela eventually assume leadership roles in their clans, proving the naiveté of their assumption that they could run off and leave their families behind. In Bhansali’s version of Romeo and Juliet, the two leads are much older than the original characters, meaning they have more prominent positions in their family. Even their elopement is foiled by friends intent on perpetuating the feud. They are reckless in their courtship, until deaths in both families force them to realize that they will find no peace in town. It’s love at first sight when Ram and Leela meet at a party.
Ram serves as village peacemaker, defusing situations by distributing pornographic DVDs. The youngest children in their respective warring clans, they want nothing to do with the centuries-long family feud. In this rendition, Romeo and Juliet are rechristened Ram Rajadi (Ranveer Singh) and Leela Sanera (Deepika Padukone). The story may be familiar, but Bhansali’s film offers plenty of surprises.
