Ram-Leela is Romance love drama between two clans Rajadi and Sanera with violence.Bhansali always make a movie like love romance epic nobody can't picturize. Ranveer Singh and Deepika best pair in this movie, They are really appear as Romeo-Juliet with love romance. Deepika One of the Best actress nobody can't dare some characters in bollywood she is perfect to Leela role. Ranveer singh Got a good experience with Bhansali Sir,This film help him a good level in bollywood. Movie had violence very much but Bhansali covered all parts Story,Love,Romance,Drama,Violence in his way of directing. Music is ultimate, I think so Shreya Ghoshal is first choice in his movies always. She sung a beauty beauty of songs.Story ends with tragedy but that's not effect to the movie. Violence between Rajadi and Sanera clans are so much but Sanjay knows the limit of point and its edge. We felt One kind of routine story also but director and actors their hard work no object to ask other things. Bhansali is Evergreen Director nobody replace his place and his movies in bollywood.
... View MoreGoliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is a Bollywood movie that is one, based around the story of Romeo and Juliet, and two is quite a mouthful. The film features everything from big dances to kind of crazy songs and to say this is supposed to be one of Shakespeare's tragedies well then it sure doesn't feel like that. The film is set around the 500 year old feud between two clans, the Rajadi's and the Sanera's and both although maybe don't go to war with each other, if you cross the dividing line between the two's areas, you're in big trouble. The story plays out a bit insanely, at 155 minutes long it feels stretched out and even for a Bollywood movie this is just too long for what material it has. The story flies around the place and never settles down and even at times can become increasingly confusing as well with the entire crazy goings on that happen. The characters of Ram Rajadi(Romeo) and Leela Sanera(Juliet) are unlikeable as the two leads, the chemistry doesn't light a match, it's dull and especially in the case of Ram where he is not a likable person from the first time he rides in on his motorbike.Ranveer Singh plays Ram and is not that great in the role, like I said fails to create a person you can like, sure at the beginning he is meant to be unlikeable but over time you are meant to get to connect with him more. Deepika Padukone is slightly better in the role, still not so so likable but she still does a job that she manages well. She really excels when she gets into a position of power in the movie, where no one can tell her what to do and what to think, she becomes a better actor when she is shouting I swear.The director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is behind the helm on this movie and I feel he fails to do what he usually has to do in the movies he makes. It's the pure emotion that is lacking here and the love side of things just never works, we never feel bad for any character nor that happy and when we should be rooting for certain people, it just never materialises. He co-writes the movie as well and although the script isn't horrific, well it isn't much to shout about either way, the movie suffers from basic dialogue and some over dramatics that just make this feel silly but not in a fun way.I'll give the film credit where it's due some, it's shot well and the choice of camera angles is done well so that at least the movie is trying to show you some raw emotion of the characters involved. I liked the settings too, the shots taken in Udaipur are purely beautiful and the film definitely uses it's backdrop to great effect. The parts mostly shot in Gujarat are beautiful too, some of the movies scenes get a little confusing where suddenly a character is in the desert but all in all it looks great. Overall if I had to point to an adaption of Romeo and Juliet it wouldn't be this one although I can't say I have ever seen it done in such a fun kind of way. The choreography is nice there is no doubt all though the songs are not always fantastic, if the movie has made the characters more developed (which they could have in such a long film) then the movie would have been so much more lovely and we could have maybe actually felt something for the people who get very emotional in this movie.
... View MoreNormally, I hate some movies, I love some movies, I find some movies to be average and some to be listless. This is the first movie, that I actually love and hate at the same time. I love it for what it is, I hate it for what it could have been. And in the same vein, there are certain aspects to this movie that are just amazingly, brilliantly created. At the same time, there are such obvious loopholes, mainly in the logic and plot department, that it almost undoes all the merits of this, hard to assimilate movie.Music, Casting, Performances, Cinematography, Art, Dialogues, Costumes, everything is top notch. The best thing about the movie is that it feels so ALIVE. The problem is, there are some bits that are overdone. Its nice to see the heroine express her lust, her sensuality, its a nice idea, but too much emphasis is placed on such trivial elements, that it deters your attention from where it should be. It should be a love story, where two people fall in love, and love each other till the very end. Even in the last scene, Juliet asks Romeo "Whats your size?". Thats just an example, of things that could have been avoided, mended in this otherwise beautiful movie.
... View MoreRam Leela - an Indian take on the classic Romeo and Juliet, but I wouldn't even consider this an Indian take, but a full on Gujarati take! Bhansali has a habit of making a film look over the top - Devdas and Saawariya are both good examples, but now you can add Ram Leela to the list. The film is good, but yet it some scenes really do confuse you and if you lose concentration at any point of the film, you get lost. You feel like there's way too many characters but then again, the story required it. Everything is just way too glamorous, when it's obvious that there's no requirement for. As I said - a typical over the top Bhansali film. The major plus point of the film is the chemistry between Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Deepika is electric and you can't imagine anyone else in this role after seeing her. Ranveer is magnificent and is certainly an actor that is here to stay. He looks very much the part, and his on screen presence is fantastic. Whether or not they both have real life chemistry (it's likely they do), their on screen chemistry was perfect. Surpiya Pathak Kapur is a revelation and will surely be snapped up in more films in the future. Richa Chadda is excellent. She catches your eye in every scene she's in and will certainly leave you wanting more.The songs are very good, with my favorites being Lal Ishq and Lahu Mau Lag. In summary, Ram Leela is good, but not spectacular. Watch it for the Deepika-Ranveer pairing. Nothing else.
