Ram Leela Movie Review

Ram Leela stars Ranveer Singh & Deepika Padukone along with Supriya Pathak , Richa Chadda etc etc .

It's credited in the titles that it's based on Shakespeare's  Romeo & Juliet .
I haven't read romeo and juliet by Shakespeare and after watching this I don't want to read it anymore . How I wish Shakespeare hadn't written romeo & juliet at all .

I think there must be two reasons why Bhansali saab must have made this film .

1. He must have watched Ishaqzaade and thought what if Ishaqzaade's story is based in Gujarat and hence he made Ramleela .

2 . He hasn't watched Ishaqzaade at all hence made this mistake of penning Ram Leela .

The first half looks like a home made video of Ranveer Singh & Deepika's romance . The story (if at all there is a clear one) is of two people falling in love who belong to  two different groups who are at war every now and then . It is love at first sight and lip lock at first sight too . There is no emotional connection at all and it looks as if there love is lust based and heart isn't involved at all . Then you are made to sit across few more lip locks and songs every now and then and suddenly they must have realised that they should tell a story also and hence tried to sprinkle some kind of story in between . So it is a home made video of Ranveer singh and deepika with lots of songs , lip locks , gun shots and some story . How they fall in love .. get seperated and will they unite or not forms the crux of the story . Girls get to see good built physique of Ranveer and guys will also get to know the vital stats if deepika too (which is obviously false ) .

Technically its a brilliant film . Good camera work , back ground music and good music too . Few dialogues are witty but they cannot save this film . Supriya Pathak is good too but goes over board at times . Richa Chadda is good too . Priyanka chopra's special appearance in a song doesn't add up any spice to the film except that we get to see her trying to put the hooks on her blouse together . No oomph then too .

Sanjay leeela Bhansali has lost his midas touch I believe . If at all this film earns some money at the box office then it would be definitely because of gujratis . The film is colorfull but the story is faded .

Watch it only if you are on for some senseless confusing meaningless film .

Ram Leela - R.I.P Romeo & Juliet .
