Ram-leela: Energetic. Exquisite. Electrifying.
Confession first - I caught myself staring at the screen with my mouth agape many times during the course of this film. The beauty in every frame is just overwhelming. And I'm writing this review while I listen to the music of Ram-leela on loop :P Ram-leela could have been a reverie if there were no guns or violence in the movie. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes it absolutely clear that this is no subtle romance - first in the title itself "Goliyon ki raasleela - Ram-leela" and then in every frame of the film - you will never NOT see guns and if you don't see guns, you will witness some form of violence or hear gunshots in the least. Set against this backdrop is a romance that is in-your-face and raw. The first half of the film is just exhilarating. So fast, so thrilling, you'll be gasping for breath to catch up. The songs, the intros and the music just keep you enthralled and entertained. But come second half, the story begins to slack. All the fight...
