raam chaahe liilaa (Hindi:राम चाहे लीला, Urdu: رام چاہے لیلا) "Ram Wants Leela" is a song from the 2013 Hindi-language Bollywood tragic romance film "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela".
The song was written by the lyricist duo Siddharth-Garima, and the music was composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The background singer is Bhoomi Trivedi
The movie is essentially a replay of the Shakespearean drama "Romeo And Juliet", with a modern Gujarati flavor.
The video clip shows scenes of the movie where the main male character, Ram (played by Ranveer Singh) drunkenly cheers the performance of a Mujra dancer.
The dancer is the actress Priyanka Chopra doing an "item number" in the movie.
The song contains many words and whole verses in Gujarati language. Also a voice-off announcer makes comments in Gujarati after and before the dance.
The lyrics constantly make puns with "Ram", the name of the male protagonist, and also the name of the epic Hindu deity Ram or Rama.
Even the names of Ram and Leela are joined together the same way the names of Ram and Sita (Rama's wife and central female character in the Ramayana epic) are combined in Hinduism.
