Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela is a cherished movie in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s discography. The movie, starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone garnered immense attention during its release in 2013. Eleven years later, it is still remembered as an iconic romantic movie.
During an exclusive interview with Filmfare about the film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali opened up on allowing the characters to be sensual and “physically demonstrative.” Speaking about the kiss between Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, he said, “Earlier I never allowed my characters to be physically demonstrative. They would always be left alone, pining… But kissing is a natural expression of love. I have explored sensuality not sexuality here. But Deepika and Ranveer’s kiss is about love, not lust. It’s poetry in motion; their bodies coming together as though in a dance. It was organic. What’s vulgar are pelvic thrusts and gyrations.”

The director further noted that Ram Leela was larger-than-life as a movie. “Ram-leela has aggression. Every human being is capable of violence. But we don’t express anger easily due to social pressure and rational constraints. Devdas had a controlled violence. In Ram-leela I’ve expressed it flamboyantly. My characters fall in love violently, I like that take on romance,” he added.Sanjay Leela Bhansali opens up on exploring sensuality in Ram Leela. Continue reading …Read More
