A Love Letter for You
In a Gujarati village, Ranjaar, infamous for its uninhibited manufacture and sale of arms and ammunition (weapons are sold like vegetables at the place), two clans, Rajadi and Sanera, have been at odds with each other for the past 500 years. The village is unique as every member of the village, including the women carry firearms openly. The film opens with a violent altercation between the two over petty matters. In one case a Rajadi boy urinates over a Sanera Chieftain Bhavani and is shot at all over town. Meanwhile, a Sanera shopkeeper tries to disrupt the business of a Rajadi shop keeper by throwing glass bottles at him. Ram is the only person in the entire village who speaks the language of love and peace and does not want war between the 2 families. Ram is ladies' man, and all the unmarried girls of the village pursue him. Meghji (Abhimanyu Singh), a Rajadi head, sets out to kill Bhavani (Gulshan Devaiah) who is a Sanera, after the latter tries to kill the former's son Goli. Bhavani is almost killed when Ram (Ranveer Singh) intervenes and saves him, only to be reprimanded by Meghji, who is his elder brother. All the Rajadi elders are irked by Ram's mindset of making truce with the other clan. The Sanera are the far richer and wealthier clan as compared to Rajadi. Ram runs a video renting parlor for blue films, and deals in stolen cars. During the festival of Holi, Ram boldly enters the house of the Sanera heads and frolics with Leela (Deepika Padukone), while her mother, Dhankor Baa (Supriya Pathak), the chieftain of the Saneras, is busy arranging a match for her daughter. Dhankor selects an NRI groom named Karsanbhai for Leela. Karsan is from London and is an archaeologist by profession. He is overawed by Dhankor and her stature, and she instantly approves of him as the groom. She introduces Karsan to a gun and says that the family business is killing, gun-running and extortion. Bhavani is the son of Dhankor's brother, who died at the hands of the Rajadi, which started the family feud in the first place. Dhankor runs the house with an iron hand and her word is final on every matter. No one in the family dares to go against her or her wishes. The family runs the business of chilies and are the largest supplier in the region. Later on, at Holi night, Ram visits Leela in her room. Leela is ecstatic to see him. Ram tells Leela upfront that he is a Rajadi, but by this point Leela is smitten with Ram and is falling in love with him. Leela and Ram end up kissing each other deeply and passionately before Ram is forced to leave as Leela's Bhabhi Rasila was at the door looking for her. The next day, Leela pays a visit to Ram at his shop in the Rajadi stronghold. Both are turned on by this game high risk hide and seek. Kanji (Sharad Kelkar), Leela's elder brother and loves Leela unconditionally. This irks his wife Rasila, who says that this level of obsession is not healthy. Kanji realizes that Ram came into their house on Holi and flirted with Leela. Kanji is livid but knows that nobody could have recognized Ram with everyone having colored faces on Holi, and yet he wants his retribution. Kanji bribes the local policeman Vanka (Jameel Khan) to raid of the house of Rajadi heads, but the plan backfires with Ram's tactics, who bribes the policeman with CDs of dirty blue films. Kanji is further enraged when he finds that Vanka sold his loyalty for a cache of blue films, and that the Rajadi family is celebrating their victory in a grand style. Dhankor Baa decides to advance the date of Karsan's wedding to Leela, when she finds that Leela visited the Rajadi armaments market. Leela argues that she was only showing Karsan around, but Dhankor does not believe her. Leela tells Ram about her impending wedding. Ram and Leela get romantically involved and plan to elope. But a grim turn of events follows when Kanji accidentally kills Meghji in a game of chicken shoot and is in turn killed by Ram. To escape the suffering, Ram and Leela elope and marry. But Ram's friends trace them and trick Ram by making him drunk and knock him out of his senses and send an SMS about their location to the Saneras from Ram's phone. The next morning, Leela is forcibly taken back home by Bhavani, her cousin, while Ram is hailed as a hero by the Rajadis for soiling the reputation of Leela, and her chieftain. Leela still retains faith in Ram and sends Rasila (Richa Chadda), widow of Kanji, to give Ram an ultimatum to take her away. She, however, is molested by Ram's friends and when Dhankor Baa learns of this, she sends Bhavani and other men to assault Kesar (Barkha Bisht Sengupta), Meghji's widow. Ram storms into Leela's house and incapacitates the guards single-handed. He then requests Dhankor Baa to consider negotiation for peace, following which she invites him for a function at home with the intention to kill Ram. However, at the event, Bhavani secretly shoots and seriously injures Dhankor, and the Rajadis are blamed for attacking Dhankor Baa. Leela is made the chieftain and gets busy tending to her mother. Ram and Leela bitterly carry out a negotiation with the Sarpanch, but Bhavani manipulate things and makes Leela blindly sign a document ordering the killings of Rajadis. During Dusshera, as the Ramlila parade is ending, many Rajadis are killed and the village is on the brink of war, which Ram senses. Ram and Leela believe they are the sole owners of each other's lives, and hence they decide to kill each other instead of dying fighting. Leela agrees and both commit suicide, not knowing that Dhankor Baa has undergone a change of heart and has killed Bhavani, ordering peace be meted out to the other clan. In the end, the two clans finally unite and cremate the dead bodies of Ram and Leela together respectfully.
