What is there in a name. There is nothing offending in the movie Ram Leela except the name. The title 'Ram Leela' will bring to your mind Ram Leela played in every nook and corner during Dussehra. But the movie is some different Leela. Then why call this Ram Leela? Then would 'Raas Leela' be appropriate? This would also be linked to Raas Leela by Krishna. Could the film makers not select some name unconnected with any religious hero? 'Love game' or ''Aao pyaar karen' could be alternative titles.

Now they have lenghtened the name but still retained 'Ram Leela' within the title. How funny.

I don't like both the hero and heroine of the movie. Now as because the rating is so bad, I won't see this movie.
I don't give importance to ratings. Most of the ratings are manipulated.
This is Ok. Deepika is good actress but Ranveer Singh is worthless.
Sanjay leela Bhansali has few good movies to his credit. He can't be ignored.

I agree ! He has made some good movies in the past like Khamoshi...the others like hum dil de chuke sanam were also good although I cannot recollect the other names just now...I like Deepika though since she is good looking and a good actress ! But what is the point in watching a film that is all hype and no substance !

True. For that to see about its substance, one has to see for himself, without being carried away by ratings and other's opinions. Likings and dislikings vary from person to person.

Ram and Lila in name of main chracter of this film. I think Lila Ram is more suitable name for it.

Yes according to Indian culture name of women comes first like Sita-Ram So yes Leela Ram was a better option. :)
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’ original name is only Sanjay Bhansali. He has added “Leela” in order to pay a tribute to his mother “Leela Bhansali”. Here his intention is to specify Leela as an activity. Nothing more. Ram Leela Maidan means, a place to stage the activities of annual Ram Leela. And we say, often Bhagwan Ki Leela. Means God’s activities.
Now tell me what’s wrong with “Ram Leela”. The word "Leela " has several meanings.
There is nothing wrong with the title of the Movie “Ram Leela”

There is nothing wrong except that the title is misnomer and confusing. 'Ram Leela' is commonly understood as enactment of Ramayana on stage or screen.

True. In show business often we find creating confusion intentionally to be in the limelight. This is one way of drawing the public attention.

Confusion is okay as long as this does not offend religious sentiment of any community.
Have not seen this movie. But movie is getting publicity for wrong reasons.
Wrong or right reasons, movie producers are interested in publicity. Audience will see if it's good. Audience will see even if it's bad. In this case audience wish to see "why it's bad." in both cases producer is the beneficiary.
It has generated both kinds of interest, some say it is good and some say it is bad.But the general opinion is that it is loud and garish unlike most of his earlier films...
No two opinions are similar. Each one has his own reason to appreciate a movie or condemn it. That's why I prefer to see the movie and arrive at an opinion. And even this may not be acceptable to others. It's strictly my own opinion.

No. This practice is there ever since the movie industry started.

I think a particular section of the crowd will stay away for its name and another may stay away offended by its name, I don't know how the crowd is going to appreciate this illogical name! Yes the cast of the movie can bring some followers in.

yes opinions and views vary. But the producers are not interested about our opinions. They are interested in collections.

I am afraid a few movies did bad due to bad titles only, I will not be surprised if same thing happens with this one too.
