Original Eros 2 DVD Set Review: Breathtaking! - A brilliant Bollywood adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this film is a visual feast that's opulent, lush and colourful and most of all so artistically crafted to showcase 2 knockout leads that will leave you breathless and gasping for more. Ranveer Singh outdid himself portraying lover-boy Ram, who is more concerned with hanging out with his buddies in between selling porn dvds and fencing stolen cars than to be competing over criminal empires with the feuding family of Leela( Padika Padukone)! Everyone knows the outcome of the R&J classic, yet one can't help wondering if these star crossed lovers were going to live happily ever after in this adaptation!The music and dance routines were fabulous. If the old Bard was alive today he would have given it a standing ovation. Highly recommended and I hope SLB would consider making a version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew next! Review: Unique and Beautiful Take on Romeo and Juliet - I wasn't sure if I'd like this movie, since I've never watched any Bollywood films before. I'm so glad I bought it. loved this movie! With the colorful costumes, the amazing scenery, and the very talented dancing, it truly felt like I was transported to India. The acting was great, the chemistry between Leela and Ram was sizzling and very passionate. It was a great take on Romeo and Juliet. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Bollywood films.

Great movie, the plot
Great movie, the plot, dance numbers and outfits were colorful and beautiful. The songs were well performed. I like this "Romeo and Juliet' rendition. I have watched over 100 Bollywood movies and this one was very good.

Old plot with a different twist - a story beautifully told. Great colors - great sounds - great visuals - and phenomenal performance by Supriya Pathak. Totally LOVED the costumes and the backdrops.

if you love singing and dancing you will love this film even ...
Ram-leela is a Hindu version of Romeo and Juliet, if you love singing and dancing you will love this film even though it is in a different language you can still understand it's meaning by subtitles and the two main characters. the actors who portrayed ram and leela did it beautifully my eyes were glued to the tv screen from beginning to end. Both singing and dancing numbers to introduce the main characters were spectacular, the main characters are beautiful and the chemistry between them is HOT!!!! if you haven't seen this movie it is a must and if this is your first Hindu film it will open your eyes to something new and entertaining.

VISUALLY STUNNING
I do not know a word of Hindi, but after stumbling across a scene of this movie on Youtube I simply had to see it regardless. The scene I saw was directed so well that I saw the whole movie without subtitles to get the full essence of the imagery even though I wouldn't understand everything. The way the director uses light, scenery, color and music in this production is just perfection. The dance choreography is amazing and the costumes are beautiful. Visually it is just stunning. Obviously I can't really comment on the script or the story much as as I don't know the language, but I could grasp the story well enough- It is a modern Indian adaptation of Romeo and Julliet. Anyone who appreciates talented film direction should have this movie in their collection.

This movie is a feast for the eyes and the ears - the songs are beautifully written and catchy as hell and the cinematography is on point. Seriously, do not go without this movie for another second, it is the best movie that happened to me all year.

Ich empfehle diese CD jedem, der Bollywood nicht abgeneigt ist und im besten Fall auch den Film gesehen hat - ein mitreissender Streifen mit sehr emotionaler Musik, allein schon 'Laal Ishq' zu Beginn hat mir ein paar Tränen abgerungen. Ram-leela ist ein außergewöhnlicher Romeo & Julia-Themen-Film, der bisweilen schräg komisch und dann leider auch hoch-dramatisch daherkommt. Wer ihn noch nicht kennt, sollte das ändern, da er aus der Masse von Bollywood-Schnulzen doch sehr hervorsticht!

I am not a big fan of Shakespeare play about unfortunate young lovers from Verona but this recent indian version of the well known story totally convinced me. I enjoyed the movie immensely - beautiful settings (always so impressive arid landscape in Gujarat and possibly or even probably the most romantic city in India - matchless Udaipur); colourful costumes, many of them as they were created for some fashion extravaganza; great dances and songs. But the film would not be what it is without Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone - what a chemistry between them ! They are both not only young and handsome but also incredibly attractive and sexy. Ranveer Singh does not act, he simply is Ram - a total identification with hero and his entry scene with "Tattad Tattad" song is just one of those to be watched over and over again !
