Ram Leela
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much talked about venture is loosely based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Ram Leela is a story of love in violent times.
The film has primarily been shot in Kutch, Gujarat and has a very rustic feel to it. The film however isn't a period drama and has a modern feel to it.
Deepika sports a radically different look in Ram Leela and it's very different from what she's done before.

Director - Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Verdict - Highly anticipated, the movie does boast of a good cast and good musical numbers. For those of you who like spins of classics done in different ways, this could work for you. I would suggest you give this one a try, it's one of those you either love it or hate it movies.
