Sravan Kumar 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.

willcundallreview Goliyon 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.

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.

sdreelin One of Bansali's best pictures so far. It is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet so you already know the premise of the story here so no surprises really. What makes this different from other Romeo and Juliet based pictures is the visual styles and soundtrack. Bansali uses color in his movies to convey meanings in his films. Blues during sadness, reds during fighting or festivals, greens in neutral scenes and this film contains all those. The sets are elaborate lending even more of a feast for the eyes. There is excellent use of humor and seriousness at the right times. The chemistry between Deepika and Ranveer is spot on. The music and dance scenes are very elaborate and appropriate. Even the item number with Priyanka Chopra added some entertainment value though if left out would not make any difference to the movie. There are a few times where it is hard to keep up with some of the supporting characters. Sometimes you have to look for visual clues to figure out who is who quickly (a tattoo or a Tilak). It's not enough to detract from the movie, but lends a small amount of confusion. Watching it a second time I didn't have this feeling. Even though you know the overall plot, there is enough here to keep you engaged. A small amount of content may not be appropriate for small kids, but is OK the for rest of the family. The only issue I had is the hype leading up to the movie was a bit over the top. I would watch this again and again, but I only give it an 8 on a scale of 10 which is good still. Just not in my top 10. It will be a classic Hindi movie and certainly a must see.
