omairfarhan-70986 The storyline of the movie cannot be criticised as its based on the William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. The set was very well developed and was very attractive. Engaged the audience with the love spark created by the character's performance. However Low rating as too much was cluttered up and was not carried to the conclusion properly.

Takethispunch During the festival of Holi, Ram (Ranveer Singh) boldly enters the house of the Sanera heads and flirts with Leela (Deepika Padukone), while her mother, Dhankor Baa (Supriya Pathak Kapur), the chieftain of the Saneras, is busy arranging a match for her daughter with a simple-minded NRI. Leela's elder brother Kanji (Sharad Kelkar) is angered by Ram's entry in the house and bribes the local police to raid Ram's house. Ram, however, manages to convince the policemen to leave in exchange for a set of his blue films. Ram and Leela develop a romance and plan to elope but a grim turn of events follows when Kanji accidentally kills Meghji and is in turn killed by Ram.

Dr Deena Padayachee Ram-LeelaA review by Deena PadayacheeThe world celebrates Gujarat as the land that spawned Gandhi, perhaps the greatest human being that ever breathed: the person who helped change some of the ways in which the world thinks, behaves and is governed; the Indian who helped the world become a little more civilised.However we know that inter-religious violence has plagued this Indian state for hundreds of years. And we know that while Gandhi was a lawyer, many lawyers are rather different in the way they approach life, other people's human rights and the way in which behave towards their clients. So it was with a sense of puzzlement that I watched two rather childish gangs in this Gujerati town shoot each other down like modern day murderous cowboys. The director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a genius. He depicts these rogues, bullies and blood-thirsty villains with a panache and an exuberance that lights up the screen with blood, fire and brutality that is completely at odds with Satyagraha and all the Gandhian concepts that have made Gujarat world famous. It was quite clever to set this modern romance between people from feuding clans in a land which has spawned modern peace movements and has helped free the oppressed across the planet by using non violent means. This film shows another side to Gujarat. I have noticed that some of the South African Gujerati can be as harsh, and as loud and short- tempered as any other South African group, so the violence that wracked this village of gun-runners, smugglers, brutes and vicious gangsters was not entirely out-of-character. There was nothing peaceful about the way in which they resolved their problems.The flamboyance, the garb, the dance and the anti-establishment practises of these villains reminded one of the Roma whose vagabond behaviour and root-less life-style had brought them into conflict with nations across Eurasia. One remembers that the Roma migrated from North West India, ie from an area which includes Gujarat. By a strange coincidence, the Jewish Holocaust centre is hosting an Austrian specialist who will be speaking about the fate of the Roma in World War II on 19 Nov 2013. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are incredibly brilliant young actors and are at an incandescent peak with the calibre of their performances. I was in complete awe with the way in which they portrayed the loves and the lives of their characters. I have not been impressed by many of the younger Indian actors and I used to wonder what would happen once sensitive and top actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Preity Zinta were no longer available to portray young people. That anxiety is no longer there. There must be others who come from this great school of acting.The Ram-Leela film is simply in a class of its own. As with West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet, the protagonists come from feuding clans but the flavour here is completely Indian. The passion and the romantic repartee is simply entrancing and mesmerising.Rama and Sita were the couple that were split apart by Ravana who captured Sita. This couple fall in love virtually immediately when they meet. She wants to marry. He is puzzled. So soon? 'I've waited for you all my life,' she says. 'I am not going to wait any longer.' He has the girls chasing him while she has to get away from a silly, forced arranged marriage. When they come together again after one of their many enforced splits, she asks him why he has come back? There is far too much working against their union. His reply is a reply that any person who has been fortunate enough to be or have been in love will know. 'How do I keep away?' he asks. When Ram is asked what is so special about Leela, he says, 'At Holi, she did not throw colours at me, she kissed me; she did not give me her heart, she gave me her life.' This film is going to break all box-office records.The passion between the pair comes across as utterly authentic. Indian cinema is justifiably world-famous for the way in which it depicts romance, emotions and feelings, but this film is way up there with Veer Zara and Bhagban; this is a movie which is among the very best that this humid and red-hot land has produced.Everything about the film is superlative - from the calibre of direction to the quality of the acting to the script to the editing to the cinematography. You want to savour the thoughts, the poetry, the dance, the music the scenes, again and again and again – I cannot wait to get the DVD and go through some scenes again, slowly.What a movie! India has certainly arrived as a nation capable of producing the very best cinema that the world can ever hope to see. It is unique, magical and stunning.This film is absolutely first-class, and world-class! I find that Indian cinema simply gets better and better. The film runs for two hours and forty minutes but I must say that the editing was so good and the film was so magnificent that I barely noticed the passage of time as we moved from one fascinating and superb scene to the next.This is easily one of the best films that I have been fortunate enough to see this year.

mr_zain93 Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made a lot of great films , so I was really expecting something good out of this one as well..but unfortunately I was hugely disappointed , as it turned out to be one of the worst movie of 2013..it definitely wasn't SLB's standard..weak story-line , inconsistent screenplay..even the performance were just strictly average..The only saving grace of the movie was it's music , which I believe was one the best of 2013...but unfortunately music alone isn't enough to save a movie , and that is exactly the case with Ram Leela..What surprises me though , is that why is this movie so overrated? Won so many awards it didn't deserve to..Deepika was strictly average , and didn't do anything special to make her performance award-winning worthy..the only actor which stood out was Supriya Pathak , as her the role seemed tailor made for her..So , If you don't mind watching a movie just to past your time and listen to some good music , without giving a damn about it's pathetic story , Ram Leela just might be for you..or else , please ignore it..
