Ram-Leela Hindi film review

Ram-Leela Film Review: ****

Deepika Padukone fans wouldn't want to miss this film.

If you are a Ranveer Singh fan - this is the best performance from him so far in his career.

Goliyon Ki Raaslila - Ram Leela is a modern day adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This action-romantic story is about Ram (Ranveer Singh) and Leela (Deepika Padukone) who belong to two feuding families of Rajadis and Sanedas residing in an imaginative border town.

Ranveer and Deepika share superb earthen sensuality which is visible on screen. 

The cinematography is brilliant, it has colourful sets, glittering opulence and glittering costumes. It will impress a vast percentage of the audience with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s superb storytelling skills of this creative and highly talented craftsman.
