Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (2013)

ImageGenre: Action/Romance/Drama
 Starring: Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Richa Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Gulshan Devaiah, Barkha Bisht



Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been known to create movies that are visually very intriguing and are a treat to watch. Use of vibrant colours, dramatic dialogues, powerful dances and soulful singing, his movies have it all and Ram Leela does not try to be any different. A small village in Gujarat, India, has a law of it's own. The village is divided between two clans, the Saneda's and the Rajadi's who have been fighting for years and are always breathing down each others necks. The new generation in these two families comprise of Ram (Singh) from the Saneda clan and Leela (Padukone) from the Rajadi's. Ram and Leela have never actually met since neither have ever been allowed to cross over to the other side of the village. When Ram decides to play a prank by crossing over to the Rajadi side during the festival of Holi, he meets Leela for the first time and experiences love at first sight. The duo get passionately embroiled in each other, fully aware of the others family background but put their love before their family tussle. However, each of their respective families object to their romance, tear them apart and make them the respective clan heads and enter a killing spree. The movie is a colourful and visual delight with astounding costumes, intricate set designs and an overall vibrancy that almost no movie can match. Ranveer and Deepika have done good justice to their roles by playing the rural, loud-mouthed and sarcastic Gujarati and don't seem to be misfits. The only annoying thorn is the sporadic manner in which the movie progresses. Links seem to get connected ages afterwards, plot is broken and at times you are left scratching your head, wondering how that happened. If it wasn't for the unnecessarily long run time and poor manner in which the movie progressed, it would have been a movie to remember. An adaptation of Shakespere's Romeo and Juliet.


Thumbs up: Fabulous performances across the board, great set designs

Thumbs down: Long run time, broken story progression

There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present. If a mobile wallet like Paytm is used to its full potential, you will not even need to carry cash, except for some situations. If you think it is an overstatement, keep on reading...
