Movie Review: Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela

I like Deepika, and I liked Ranveer in Lootera. But for me, Ram Leela was loud enough and jarring enough to warrant walking out half way. Can't blame it all on the actors though - it's something about SLB's garish (some call it grand) treatment - the dhols and taashas, the elaborate dances set against endless songs, the shouting, the visual onslaught of colors that turns me off. The signature step that could well be the perfect advertisement for a dandruff ad, the oiled torsos, the dancing Hanumans... there is only so much I could take.

Deepika looks stunning. And just for her, it is almost worth sitting through the mayhem.
