RAM-LEELA Updates Thread #3, Index pg1 - Page 65

With the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leelamerely a day away, the Box Office buzz has understandably been heating up.

Touted as one of the biggest, most eagerly awaited films this year, it is no surprise that the advance expectancy for the Ranveer Singh - Deepika Padukone starrer is at an all-time high...

Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela has all the makings of an anticipated potboiler. A stellar star cast, an ace director (returning to celluloid after a hiatus of three long years) and catchy promos. Add to this are the supposed "controversies" surrounding the film (are the lead stars actually dating? the alleged offence taken by certain sections of right-wing Hindus, and the Gujarati communities on whom the film is based) and all the pre-release hype is justified.

The ticketing windows have seen some action, in terms of advance bookings. A leading single screen theatre in Bangalore affirmed.

A spokesperson for the single screen said, "The buzz is expected to be huge for Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela. We opened advance bookings on Wednesday, and there are only few seats per show left! I would say the buzz is above average for this film. We run four shows daily. The weekend looks very promising."

Sources have also informed us that at several theatres across the country, tickets are already sold out for the Friday and Saturday shows!
