The sub-plots are in abundance but all last for so less time that the tears of Leela and Ram do not reflect on the audience's eyes. What becomes a problem here is the absence of effective execution of these scenes. The second half begins with impracticality, which moves on to deal with various serious topics, which is exceptional to a love story. Though in the first half you do not notice how time passes with the songs, acting and the chemistry setting fire to the screen, the second half takes a U-turn. The perfection that Bhansali has expressed in all the aforementioned topics gets polluted by the flawed script. Every dialog she delivers is pitch perfect.

Richa Chada is shockingly real as Leela's sister-in-law and Supriya Pathak, though sounds a bit like Hansa, is exhilarating and fear-inducing. In fact, this is the best performance of the year by a male actor. Though in Cocktail, Ye Jawaani ha Deewani and Chennai Express, Deepika was the soul of the movie, here she has to share it with Ranveer Singh who acts equally well. You wouldn't be watching Deepika Padukone, but Leela in the movie. We do not doubt that Deepika Padukone, who has established herself as an equal of the Vidya Balan and Shaban Azmi only betters herself with this movie, giving her critics a yet bigger challenge. The strongest part of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is the star performances.

Though a bit raunchy, Ishkiyaon Dhishkyon seems more funny than vulgar. So well choreographed are these dances that you couldn't stop yourself from thinking of performing them on some occasion.

The songs are already chart-topping (Nagade Sang Dhol was No.1 on i Tunes for 7 consequent weeks), and when you watch them in the movie you feel mesmerized. The professionalism is of Hollywood standard. SLB's poetry, dialogs and expression are so well that you might want other directors to get training from him. The symmetry he puts in, the pattern he develops in every visual is like the best artist would. One and find Ram-Leela's visuals standing far ahead of them. You might want to compare the flawed VFX effects of movies like Krrish 3 and Ra. The visuals, nobody questions, is by far Bhansali's best. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's take on Romeo-Juliet, despite a known script, seems quite refreshing. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, one of the most anticipated movies of the year releases with all its bang and reveals itself as least related to stuff for which it had been declared controversial.
