Is this really Ram Leela?

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.

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.


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.


Quite possible. But out of over enthusiasm some producers commit this mistake assuming that the titles will shower cash at the Box office. This will prove as bane on them.
No matter what anyone says people seem to have liked the film since it has been declared a hit ...apparently Amitabh bachan watched the movie three times :huh:

Endorsement by a celebrity is enough. No further looking. People fall in line. And exactly this is what the producers want.

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. :)


Now Picture released all over India so our suggestion is worthless.

Very true, their words carry a lot of weight as far as the geeneral public is concerned....I also have a feeling that Amitabh may be acting in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film and so naturally he would go all out to support the film ...

Ram-Lila is a entertaining film. It is not a great film. Amitabh played nicely in Black. Black is great and classical film from Bhansali.

I agree with you. Movies are meant for entertaining. Enjoy and leave them. Let's not indulge in searching for blowholes in them.

Black was indeed a very sensiive film and Amitabh was good in his role...I also liked Bhansalis other films although Devdas was a modern version of the old classic.But it was watchable because of the two leading ladies who both looked beautiful...
Ranveer Singh danced well in KBC for Ram Leela promotion. I think the movie will be good.

Latest is the movie has been banned by UP . Change in name did not help the movie. I think after seeing the present trend, it will be banned in other states too

Yes. The title like 'Raam Leela' 'Raas Leela' is not acceptable. But the movie can be screened by changing title and removing objectionable scenes.

Yes. The movie can be screened with the changes suggested by the court. But after removing the objectionable scenes, Sanjay will be left with a 'a Dal sans spices and salt', which will not bell the the cash registers of Box office, This was not the aim of Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

This is good. Such movies spoil the teenagers of the society. Why directors make such movies?

Oh... Then good movies should make the youth Mahatma Gandhis. It's a mistake that some movies make the youth good and some bad.

That I agree, A corrupt mind can see corruptible influence anywhere and everywhere...films are largely an exaggerated reflection of the society depening on the period it is made..
Krish 3 is much better than Ram Leela. I hope people would prefer to watch Krish 3. Now Dhoom 3 will release soon. It will be box office hit film.

Now they have changed the name just by abbreiviating using first alphabet of each word. Thus the film has been given the title- GKRLRL. But the full form remains- Goliyon Ki Raasleela Raam Leela that anyone may decipher.

I don't agree with you. If we teach good things, child becomes good. They adopt good habits and tendencies. Vulgar movies can only spoil the mind and attitude of children They can hardly understand the good and bad out of it. If teenage boys and girls are made to see good educational, social and mythological movies, it grows good attitude and behaviour in them.

All this belongs to ethics and culture. It has nothing to do with the great peoples of past. Moreover if any child wants to follow the teachings of the great legendary people from the past, it is good.

It seems it is deliberate by Banshali, having two of his last films drubbed in box office, it is deliberate attempt to create controversy in order to fetch huge attention.

Either way it seems to be working in his favor since the film is one of the top grossers...People must be going just to see what is all the excitement about ?
