Sanjay Leela Bhansali is back with a blast with a Desi touch of Gujarat & Rajasthan.Deepika gorgeous as ever and Ranveer is improvising with every movie and going to be perfectionist in future.Each shot of movie is masterpiece and you can hang it like paiting in home.The movie reminded of Mudghal-E-Azam when compared to sets and the style.....I hope same with Padmavati also

Yet again I saw a movie of Ranveer Singh who has not shown any character as an actor. I don't know why he's getting so many movies but in all the movies I've seen of him were really dumb acting. but here Both these main characters are culprits. in some scenes they are kissing like stone sculptures. No chemistry between them at all. I was ready to forgive Ranveer because I was never expecting anything special from him but Never seen any emotions from Deepika Padukone as well. That's something new. Movie- trying so hard to remake something we've seen so many times. But failing there as Sanjay was trying too much and maybe because of that some scenes seems so unreal. Giving 6 because of the effort and the cinematography.

Normally, I hate some movies, I love some movies, I find some movies to be average and some to be listless. This is the first movie, that I actually love and hate at the same time. I love it for what it is, I hate it for what it could have been. And in the same vein, there are certain aspects to this movie that are just amazingly, brilliantly created. At the same time, there are such obvious loopholes, mainly in the logic and plot department, that it almost undoes all the merits of this, hard to assimilate movie.Music, Casting, Performances, Cinematography, Art, Dialogues, Costumes, everything is top notch. The best thing about the movie is that it feels so ALIVE. The problem is, there are some bits that are overdone. Its nice to see the heroine express her lust, her sensuality, its a nice idea, but too much emphasis is placed on such trivial elements, that it deters your attention from where it should be. It should be a love story, where two people fall in love, and love each other till the very end. Even in the last scene, Juliet asks Romeo "Whats your size?". Thats just an example, of things that could have been avoided, mended in this otherwise beautiful movie.

The music is good and visually, it's very pretty. That's it for the good parts. This is literally the worst movie adaptation since The Running Man. At least The Running Man had Arnold to save it. The only things similar to Shakespeare's play are that the two families hate each other and Ram and Leela both die at the end. I was honestly surprised by the fact that they actually died in the end. Maybe that's a good thing though. I never thought I'd be surprised by a Shakespeare adaptation before. Hey, at least Baz Luhrman isn't responsible for the worst Romeo and Juliet adaptation of all time any more. How that was topped, however, is anyone's guess. Don't waste your time. Seriously. You can watch the songs on Youtube. There's no reason to waste your time with this.
