Sanjay Leela Bhansali is among the most celebrated Film Makers of the Bollywood. Having worked with the biggest stars of Indian Film Industry, Bhansali is the most sought-for director of the Bollywood. He started his career as an assistant director to Vidhu Vinod Chopra. If one has to name his 'niche' genre, it would definitely be Mega-Musicals. From Devdas to Bajirao Mastani, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam to Saawariya, love of cinema and music, proclaims through every movie he writes or direct. His 1999 Romantic-Drama, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, starring heartthrob duo Salman-Aishwarya became one of the most critically cherished movies of the Genre. Amitabh Bachan, starrer Black was equally appreciated by the critics. But he made his presence felt with 2002 adaptation of the Hindi literary masterpiece, Devdas, for a silver-screen experience. He received a nomination for Best Foreign Film at BAFTA for the movie.Devdas has become a name synonymous with a passionate, intense love that does not find consummation.

Let me say something right here. Ram Leela is one of my favourite movies, no, it's not because it was a Gujarati movie, but because the plot, the dialogues, and the setting were just perfect. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to be the perfectionist in whichever movies he makes and for me, this movie was altogether on a different level. I have grown up watching his movies and somehow, he narrates the movie into a perfect fiction story; something rarely found in Bollywood. He has a craft and the skill to go to the depth of the story and make the audience feel as if they are transported there.
So, when I was researching for my article, 17 Mistakes In Our Bollywood Movies, I happened to watch the movie again when suddenly, I felt like I was watching the movie through the critics' point of view. As I was watching this movie, I found certain symbols that had hidden meanings that stood for more than I had originally thought.
So, when I was watching the movie, I couldn't help but notice the tiny details that went into making the movie. While it is inspired by the famous tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the communities in the film were based on real life. I could go on and on about the movie but my article is centred on the lead characters, Ram and Leela.
When Ram goes to the Saneda community to check out the girls, that's when he first sees his lady love, Leela. She is an enigma, enthusiastic, bold and unapologetic. Do you know what's the best part of the scene? No words were spoken. It was just based on the expressions. But if you notice closely, Sanjay has brilliantly portrayed the first scene.
Cue the song Lahu Muh Lag Gaya. In the scene, Leela is wearing ghagra choli which is a combination of red and white. The white symbolises purity and young budding love and red symbolise passionate love. Like in the literature and our older movies, the girl doesn't let anyone apply colour on her apart from her lover/husband. (Apparently, the first red colour has to be applied by the lover)
The colour white is an inherently positive colour and is associated with purity, innocence. It affects the mind and body by aiding in mental clarity, promoting feelings of fresh beginnings and renewal. So, the white colour in this scene means starting afresh, something that is pure and clear. The beginnings of love.
When Leela, his love was taken away from him, he died inside. He wore black as mourning. Mourning for his love, for being unable to save them, for his own death. When he was declared the chief, he said to his Bhabhi, that the old Ram is dead. He can't mourn. But his feelings and his clothes depict otherwise.
This scene says a lot. Traditionally, the wife is supposed to put tilak on her husband's forehead. When Leela puts tilak on Ram's forehead and touches his feet, she is telling it to the whole community that this is my husband and I love him. She moreover tells her mom that he is mine as I am his. Just in one act.
After Dhankor cuts Leela's finger and she is lying in her bed, Ram comes and puts a blood-stained mark on her window. This means that he has cut his finger and is feeling the same pain as she does. It also symbolises that he is in this together. When Leela wakes up and goes out to the balcony, a peacock is seen fluttering, symbolizing that Ram is the peacock that came to visit her.
The peacock is associated with Lakshmi who is a deity representing benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and good luck. In Bhansali's world, the peacock is a metaphor for love. His hero Ram is the peacock who spreads the message of love everywhere as at one point he says, "make love, not war."
When Dhankor gifts him the dead peacock, it is another great foreshadowing! Throughout the movie, two peacocks have been seen fluttering just like the lead characters. When Ram receives a dead peacock, it not only symbolises death of his love while giving us a small hint of the future scene.
When things started to go against them, fate once again pulled them apart, their expressions and clothes denoted so much about the tragedy that's going to strike. When they both became chiefs, they realised that whatever they do, they can't be back together. The enmity is so deeply rooted in the community, that they had to choose hate to work out. Towards the end, they realise that their love can't be kept alive, and the more they live, the more lives will be destroyed.
So when they decide to kill each other, they are dressed in black; which symbolises death. Also, if you notice, towards the end, there are no birds in the garden. The love has come to the end. Their story has to die.
We are too easy to forgive Casanova types in the movies and that somehow starts reflecting in real life.
Men are supposed to be philandering and women are supposed to be forgiving in the name of keeping the family intact. Dil dhadakne do was a good example of how we think. Shefali Chhaya stays with a Casanova husband because she has nowhere else to go!
I believe only when we start showing some positivity relating to women in movies, will the change start reflecting in society. A good example is eloping replaced by couples waiting and convincing parents after DDLJ hit theatres. Though I believe that was the only good thing out of that movie.
The said incident was in jest, but what I want to explain is that unknowingly these things are a part of my psyche, thanks to being a huge SRK fan growing up and watching those family oriented movies as a teenager. This is also the reason I believe that Cinema and Society are a reflection of each other.

This is one of the best movies that has been filmed across Goa. Though each of us has a different reason for remembering the movie, the backdrop of beaches and the greenery makes the movie all the more appealing. The idea of chilling on the beach with friends gives us major vacation goals. It probably kicked off the trend of a mandatory road trip to Goa with friends. So if you are missing the sea, the beaches and the waves you know what movie to watch!
