And the production design by Wasiq Khan is extraordinary. Throughout, the costumes by Anju Modi and Maxima Basu, are a class apart. Unquestionably superb technical support comes from Ravi Varman’s cinematography – the most dazzling in years – as well as the inticate sound design by Parikshit Lalvani and Kunal Mehta. Synopsis: Modern adaptation of William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet with an Indian twist, the film focuses on the story of Ram and Leela, their love, lust and the drama afterwards.

Vis-à-vis the plotting, the screenplay could have been tighter, besides avoiding guttersnipe lingo. Script and dialogue-wise, co-writers Garima and Siddharth do an excellent job of blending in Gujarati patois. Suffice it to say, then, this Romeo and Juliet’s end could be comforting or disturbing, leaving you guessing right till the end. The only thing in common between these two strangers is their families hatred for each other. The film is set against the backdrop of Ram Leela, with Pratik playing the character of Raavan. Story: The movie Ram Leela revolves around two major characters- Ram (Ranveer Singh), the local village Romeo, is a colorful, charming yet dramatic vagabond and Leela (Deepika Padukone) an unbridled and passionate village Juliet. Clearly, whenever the twosome share screen-time, you’re engrossed, hoping that somehow or the other that they can walk towards a happy ending. The script should be exciting enough for me to play the character, he says. Consequently, no easy solutions are offered to subvert their mutual physical attraction. Quite audaciously, Bhansali leaves their decision ambiguous. Perhaps, the pair’s flight to the lodge and their argument over whether to marry formally or not, is the film’s most delicately treated sequence.
