Best movie of this year hands down!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Storyline: 7/10 Quality (colors, dancing etc): 9/10I also enjoyed the funny/ dirty lines

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.

Obviously - this is Romeo (Ram) and Juliet (Leela), done as a Bollywood extravaganza. I really liked it. They stayed true to the original story line but also borrowed heavily from West Side Story in a way that made for a really nice blend. In fact, the dominant influence appeared to be West Side Story - and not just because it's a musical. It was also VERY sexy. But in a comical way. Our main characters would roll about in a state of near undress kissing, and then burst into song & dance. It's a Bollywood movie - it is what it is. I have to say - I loved Ranveer's look. Nearly naked, he looks like Adonis, and his mustache was wonderful. It's a really good look for him. More men should wear mustaches like that and I am not normally a mustache fan. He's made me one. His opening dance sequence was over the top fabulous. I enjoyed how they would occasionally speak in rhyme - basically translating some of the most famous lines from Romeo & Juliet into Hindi poetry. I thought that worked really well and it was delightful and helped anchor the movie as a proper retelling of Romeo & Juliet. When you see Romeo & Juliet - there are certain moments you need to hear. Certain lines that are classic and oft quoted, and they provided those moments in this movie with those bits of poetic rhyme. I thought it was an excellent artistic choice and again, helped to ensure that we knew we were watching Romeo & Juliet as Ram & Leela. I also liked the fact that the head of the "Capulet" family in this movie was a woman. She was nasty and mean and sympathetic and extremely well acted by Supriya Pathak Kapur. Deepika is wonderful, but she's Juliet - so her job is to fawn over Ram and be constrained by her family. She does it well - and her - are you coming to bed now that we are married sultry bed dance in white scene - wow - she is a REALLY good dancer. That was her main stand out moment. Richa Chadda - as Leela's sister in law (the Rita Moreno character in West Side Story) was also excellent. The women in this movie carried the movie. Aside from Ram - all the other men were basically interchangeable. Anyway - Richa's big moment - looking for Ram but getting harassed by Ram's men is straight out of West Side Story and again, I thought they captured the look and feel of that really well - it was a great echo of West Side Story - that sets us up for the rumble to come.The rumble was well realized and beautifully shot. How the heads of family are turned to call off the fighting and the tragic deaths of Ram & Leela had me crying at the end. Any movie that makes me cry is a good movie as far as I am concerned.

SLB is known for his great movies, this is one of them. I don not agree with users who say about Romeo Juliet and Ishaqzaade, because the start of the movie clearly says that RJ is an inspiration to the film and so Ram Leela is not an adaptation. Bhansali has colourfully weaved the Indian sets ,Gujratism, clan fights and passionate love of RJ into one cloth- Ram Leela.Supriya Pathak as Baa is just GREAT. One could not think of the Khichdi dumb Hansa to be a leader of a clan. Her acting and dialogue delivery leaves one spell bounded. The others are also great- Richa Chadda especially. The lead actors are good. Music by SLB is a hit again. But the item number could have been deleted.It is worth watching for SLB fans, Pathakji fans, casual movie-goers. But for people who do not have a taste for a love-violence chemistry, this may seem boring. If you have 2 hours to spare for a great movie, then make your mind and sit on your couch and watch this movie.
