Breaking away from legacy: Ram Leela Is My Most  Violent Film says Bhansali
By Subhash K Jha

It's out .The trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela created an instant impact. The internet was instantly abuzz with excitement labelling the trailer asan event rather than a glimpse of a film to come.

Says trade analyst Taran Adarsh, `It's a mind-blowing trailer. Undoubtedly one of the best trailers of the year. It proves once again that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a master storyteller and a class apart.`

Exhausted after the trailer release SLB says, `I've agonized over every single frame in the trailer, Until the last minute I kept working on it. They had to literally drag me away from the editing.`


While many aspects of the trailer have caught people's attention it is the aggression and the action that seem to be the talking-point about the trailer.

Says SLB, `So far there was nothing more than a slap in my films.In fact action director Shyam Kaushal would complain in every film, 'Why call me for action direction for just a slap?'. This time in Ram Leela we've enough action to make Shyam Kaushal Happy.`


Guns which form an integral part of the violent love story have never been seen in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film before.The film's title is preceded by a subtitle which reads 'Goliyon Ki Raas Leela'

That just about says it all.

Says SLB, `It's a bright happy colourful film. I am returning to my Hum...Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas style of filmmaking.`
