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.

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.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.
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.
Creating controversies deliberately to be in the limelight is an old trick in the show business.
I have not seen the movie, but from promos it seems something weird in dancing perhaps a new experiment and from box office it is working, then the controversy becomes beneficial for the movie.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.Ranveer Singh danced well in KBC for Ram Leela promotion.

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 ?

The aim of any producer is to make money by hook or crook. And creating a deliberate controversy is a part of their strategy, " Hook or crook."

In my own case the controversy has created a negative image of the film, whereas earlier going by the five stars given by Times of India review team, I was keen on watching the film.But now I dont want spend my hard earned money on that instead will watch it on the TV when they will definitely show it in a couple of months...I see that Chennai Express is already being shown..

Yes this is very practical answer. I see those movies in theatre which is well choreographed action movies. Other movies can also be enjoyed at home on TV.

By watching the movies in theaters a movies quality will not change. A good movie will be good even if it is watched in village Tent theaters. A bad movie will be bad even if it is watched in a modern and well equipped Multiplex theaters.
In smaller towns like my native place where five movie theatre is there, but now most of them are filled with rickshaw pullers and same class of people and it is almost impossible to watch movie with peace of mind, it is better to see film from tv as most of movies will be broadcasted within two to three months or even lesser.

Agreed. The point is if watching a movie in your choicest place will have an effect on the quality of the movie?
So, it has done brilliant marketing strategy, I was listening to reports that it is earning handsome money, In Odia there is a proverb, though it sounds good in Odia, and in translation it can be sort of a slang, when some one scores nicely he becomes first in the class, and if some one stool on the middle of road he is also famous.Ram Leela has become a hit movie. I am surprised to know this.
Why you are surprised? If you take in to consideration the amount spent for promotion of the movie, it should not be a surprise. At least I'm not surprised.
Any good movie should have good story, choreography and songs. Actors and actresses must execute their role properly. That makes the movies hit in real terms. Marketing has made movie hit. It is beyond public's choice. It has done good business but it can't be a award winning movie.

A winner in business world is one who uses marketing strategy effectively.
Buy one get two
Free home delivery
are but 2examples of effective marketing strategy.
So the movie RamLeela is doing good and we all are happy to know that. I think it's time to wait for another wonderful one from tinsel world. I am looking forward for strange and unrealistic title for our future movies.
Anything that comes out of those factories of Tinsel world will drag the public towards those ticket booking counters. Latest is that this movie has become a resounding success in Pakistan also. It has become a talk of the elite circles there.
