Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela , English: A Play
of Bullets: Ram-Leela) is a 2013
Indian tragic romance film composed and directed
by Sanjay Leela
Bhansali, who also composed its soundtrack. The film was jointly
produced by Bhansali and Eros International's Kishore Lulla; it stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The supporting cast
includes Supriya Pathak, Richa Chadda, Sharad Kelkar, Gulshan Devaiah, Barkha Bisht
Sengupta, and Abhimanyu Singh. Priyanka Chopra made a cameo appearance in
the song Ram Chahe Leela. Based on
the tragedy Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Ram-Leela narrates the star-crossed romance between the two eponymous lovers, who belong to warring
factions but fall in love with each other.
Bhansali conceived Ram-Leela while working on his
directional debut Khamoshi: The
Musical; an insufficient budget led to the project being
postponed. After reviving the project in 2012, Singh and Padukone were casted
in the lead roles over many other choices. Principal photography began in
Gujarat before moving to Rajasthan. Much of the filming was done on sets,
despite previous plans against doing so. The background score was composed by
Monty Sharma, while the lyrics were written by Siddharth–Garima.
The film's release, scheduled on 15
November 2013, was stayed by Delhi High Court. The film initially
titled Ram-Leela was
changed to Goliyon Ki Raasleela
Ram-Leela in response to an order by the court, allowing it to
release on the scheduled date. It received positive reviews, with praise
directed to the performances of the cast members, particularly Singh and
Padukone. Criticism was focused on its plot and elements of violence. Ram-Leela earned ₹2.02
billion in its theatrical run, and was the fifth highest-grossing Indian film
of 2013.
Ram-Leela received 8 nominations at the Filmfare Awards, winning three including Best
Actress for Padukone. At the International Indian
Film Academy Awards, it received nine nominations, including for
Best Film, and won two.
