Ram-leela
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...SLB's most commercial work till date, has nice doses of raunch and ras (juice).
-
...ought to be watched for multiple reasons: the electrifying chemistry between its lead actors, the strong dramatic content, the scintillating musical score, the violent streak in the narrative and of course, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's execution of the material.
-
It is Deepika and Ranvir’s sizzling chemistry that does full justice to Bhansali’s passionate story.
-
...an adrenaline high.
-
...enthralling, sparkling and compelling...
-
...deserves all the hype it’s built around it.
-
...has brilliance written all over it.
-
In the end it is Bhansali - credited for screenplay, editing, music, and direction - who leaves his stamp all over the film. He brings great style and aesthetic to an unapologetically commercial film...
-
This is a film by a true romantic, who is brimming with crazy passion. If you share that with him, watch it.
-
...a film where you can enjoy the imagery, the intensity, performances and chemistry, and forgive the excesses.
-
Deepika and Ranveer make Goliyon ki Rasleela – Ram Leela worth watching.
-
He reimagines Indian exotica with abandon and skill in equal measure.
-
...this film marks Bhansali’s return to form.
-
Is an engaging first hour that takes you downhill through a stretched, predictable and melodramatic rest of the film, good enough? Just might be.
-
...can we reward a film for the way it looks, superlative acting, and a director who knows exactly what he's doing despite the indulgence in the writing department that stretches the story to a point until it nearly snaps? Why not.
-
I enjoyed the lovers, and their ram-leela: if only the film had been more ras, not goli-leela, more roses than guns.
-
If you are in the mood for a sensory overdose, this might just be your favourite Bhansali film. Else, just go watch it for the leads. They are scorching hot and super talented. And that just might be reason enough.
-
A fervour and fanaticism so pounding that it utterly tires one down, rather than offering any highs.
-
...beautiful but unmemorable.
-
...is all body and no soul.
-
...is an illogical love tale dressed up in opulence. A classic case of looks can be deceptive.
-
...could be for those who want to see cinema in its art form, without much giving thought to content.
-
...an overplotted, bloody mess.
-
...is so generic, it could have been made by anyone with the sense to hire a good cinematographer and art director.
