Put simply, the couple can't keep their hands off one another. They ooze a sexual chemistry. Their words and body language convey a sexual tension that none of SLB's earlier films have dared to venture into.
Whether it was Salman Khan's genteel courtship of the ethereal Manisha Koirala in Khamoshi: The Musical , Ajay Devgn's hand-off silent smouldering adoration of Aishwarya Rai in Hum...Dil De Chuke Sanam or the bitterly-antagonistic friction between Shah Rukh and Aishwarya in Devdas...SLB's lovers always spoke the language of distanced adoration.
No more so.
One doesn't know if Ranveer and Deepika are a real-life couple. But by jove, if they're faking it they're better actors than we thought!!
Explaining the sudden eruption of sexual frisson in Goliyon Ki Raaslila Ram Leela SLB says, `First of all, I didn't make an intentional decision to have my protagonists talk and behave in a certain way. It just happened.`
The filmmaker basking in the rave reviews and great collections says, `I feel physicality is an extremely important part of the process of falling in love.I haven't shown lust between the two. It's just that huge attraction and the ensuing curiosity about one another's body,mind and soul between two people when they fall in love.`
So are love scenes going to be this unabashed in all his films from now on?
Explains SLB, `I don't think I've changed my stance regarding people in love. My lovers in this film are just more unabashed flirtatious and demonstrative about their feelings. Having said that I must say this film has liberated me, aided me to throw off the shackles of inhibition.`
