Ram, the local village Romeo, is a colorful, charming yet dramatic vagabond. Leela, on the other hand, is an unbridled and passionate village Juliet. The only thing in common between these two strangers is their families' hatred for each other. The two communities have been sworn enemies for 500 years and their own kin falling in love with each other is worse than any storm that could befall them. When Ram and Leela see each other for the first time, their worlds collide. Wars are fought and destinies get written in blood, forever. Set in a land of guns and vengeance, against a magnificent musical backdrop, Ram and Leela fight the world to live their own dreams. What will happen when they declare their love to the world? Will their families relent or will Ram and Leela carve their own destiny?

This Bollywood take on the Romeo and Juliet theme (with a West Side Story vibe) was visually gorgeous -- I mean stunning! However, it was entirely too vulgar for my taste and, as such, not what I am accustomed to with Indian Cinema. In addition, it was hard to like the characters, despite the excellent acting, so in the end, I didn't force myself to finish it.

The music is good but otherwise it's a truly terrible film. Among other issues that I had with the movie is that Ranveer's character is an "adult entertainment" store owner with no redeeming qualities which really takes away from the romantic vibe you want from the lead a story like this. Actually neither character was particularly compelling & neither was their love story. I definitely wasn't sad about the Romeo & Juliet ending.

I don't know how this movie managed to make so much money and reading other reviews, one would think it is amazing. It was painful to watch. The songs were the only saving grace for this terrible film.
