(Deepika
Padukone & Ranveer Singh)
Those looking for some Bollywood romance
this November are in for a treat with the release of the Bollywood film, Ram-Leela.
The title, said to be based on
Shakespeare's tragic love story, Romeo
and Juliet, but set in a time of violence, recently launched at
Ster-Kinekor Gateway in Durban. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and produced
by Kishore Lulla, the film stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as the
star-crossed lovers, with supporting roles played by Vivaan Bhatena, Abhimanyu
Singh and Sharad Kelkar.
Ram (Ranveer Singh) comes from a violent
area, where guns and brutality are part of everyday life. He is the local
village ‘Romeo’ but is also a bit of a drifter. While he is prepared to fight
for his great love interest, Leela (Pakukone), he will always stand by his
clan… even if it means losing the love of his life.
A beautiful, young and fearless girl, Leela
is born to the underworld, far removed from the violence that surrounds her.
Her life revolves around her faith in her lover, the enemy, her tireless wait
for him and her sacrifices for him.
When the two see each other for the first
time, worlds collide, wars are fought and destinies are written in blood
forever. The Jadejas and the Rabaris have been sworn enemies for the past 500
years and the fact that their own
children are falling in love with each other is worse than any storm.
Set in the vibrant landscape of Gujarat,
woven with song and dance, Ram and Leela fight the world to live their own
dreams. What will happen when they declare their love to the world? Will their
families relent or will Ram and Leela carve their own destiny?
Ram-Leela releases at Ster-Kinekor Gateway
in Durban and Ster-Kinekor The Zone@Rosebank in Johannesburg, on Friday, 15
November.
