The sound design and choreography is slick. While it does become all about one shooting the other shooting the one, there were a couple of chase sequences that I really liked - despite the slow-motion. There's loads of violence too and some of it gory. These things only slow down the proceedings towards a climax that you know all about. Sure, there are a few twists that you sit up to, but the impact fizzles out, because again it is either long-drawn or melo-dramatized by slow motion. It thus, ends up looking like an afterthought. But, it comes out of nowhere and doesn't get too much attention in the main scheme of things, later. Other than the overall love angle, the story tries to touch upon a current social issue. Unfortunately, the film pretty much takes the route you predicted at the end of this first hour. Deepika Padukone too, not only looks prettier by the day but also engages as a performer.ДЄfter that first hour though, because of the impact of how the film began, you wait for something more and better to happen. Ranveer Singh is creating quite a space for himself as a romantic lead hero. The pulsating sexual tension between them isn't a regular feature in Hindi films. At the same time, their presence is more than that. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone themselves are oozing oomph. Similarly, given how uni-dimensional Supriya Pathak's character is, she does a pretty decent job of instilling fear. Gulshan Devaiah and Richa Chadda have nicely layered characters - especially considering they are a part of a large canvas and there are many small characters to share the space with. The side characters too, hold their own both in terms of performances and the screen space they are given. Even so much so that you overlook the implausibility of it all. Or it could be just that you are soaking in the atmosphere. It is difficult to say whether that is because of the vivacious performances, or the strong-minded characters, or the chemistry between the lead pair or just that they look jaw-droppingly beautiful, or their colorful costumes or lack thereof. The two central characters though keep you hooked - for the first hour. For example, the songs are breathtakingly beautiful but go on for a little too long I actually laughed out loud at an innuendo and then it is stretched further to kill the joke similarly the characters, at least the side characters, get a little too repetitive. What also happens hand-in-hand though is that everything is a little overdone. The set-up is intriguing, the language brash and earthy, the characters draw interest and of course it is all very pretty. Milliblog - 'limited progress for Sanjay as a composer.'ДЇor a better part of the first half Ram-Leela is completely engaging.

Here's hoping we have more than that in store with Ram-Leela.Дunkdaft - 'What I love most is how they used original, Gujarati instruments and tunes throughout the album.' Alas, the last time that happened after looking at a trailer was with Shudh Desi Romance, which ended up being pretty unremarkable. Yet, a romance where you can sense the chemistry between the two lovers is something to look forward to. Also, despite their energy and chemistry, the effort on the songs is too visible, too transparent. Unfortunately, the songs sound repetitive from Bhansali's earlier films. The promo material seems to suggest there will be. I really hope the story has a little more meat than the standard love against all odds. But, the crisp execution, the chemistry between the lead actors have a freshness about them that you want to see more of. I first wondered if it was Ranbir Singh's pull or Deepika Padukone's or is it Sanjay Leela Bhansali? But, the trailer too are as interestingly put together.ДЄ love story set amidst political/feudal rift is hardly a new idea. I was surprised to know that a lot of people I know personally are looking forward to watching Ram Leela.
