Devdas.Sawariyaan.Ram-leela.
One name is common in these three movies, What could that be?It is a no brainer,right? You are so very correct.No doubt that your answer was Sanjay Leela Bhansali.Here,I am not critically rating any movie nor am I talking about the stories in particular; I am talking about the amazing imagination of the man of the dreamy magnificent sets. Well,you must be wondering why out of nowhere I am talking about Sanjay Leela Bhansali,( you may be thinking I ran out of baked hearts, sugar coated memories, fairy tale wishes and kisses to write about but I have not, I am full of those sorts of crap :P) .What happened was, after my last exam (which I originally was planning to flunk but I didn’t) I went to watch the movie “Ram-Leela” at Fcube (Fcube because it is really close to my exam centre,also I wanted to go there, guess what?when QFX is hiking up its ticket price, ticket price at Fcube is really kissable :P). Alright, let me not get carried away like always, I sit at the seat with popcorn ani get my eyes ready for the almost three hour movie.
Throughout the whole movie, I did not see what was really happening to the story of movie but my attention was all snatched by the amazingly artistic set in which the movie was shot. Leela’s room was like so freaking amazing, the pool in frontyard of her room had banyan tree growing in middle of the green pool with all those romantic shoots growing from all over and almost touching the face of that pool.(kasto nai ramro thiyo, you should see for yourself, I can’t correctly describe it… the image at the top is what i am trying to describe).Same with Devdas and Sawariyaan, you know how crazily beautiful the place was. Whenever you see Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie, you know it is the projection of his wild creative imagination. Ah! And the attires of the heroines, they are like super WOW! Movie herdai garda ni I was like … kati kharcha garyo hola yo euta geet shoot garna… Leela has wore 5-6 dresses till now, euta kai kati liyo hola…that Man must be the gold king Midas, to be able to spend so much.
Nevertheless, his work is just praise worthy and admirable. If you ask me to choose between a fairy land and Sanjay leela Bhansali’s movie set guess which one would I choose???
